Muscle Spasms

Muscle spasms, or involuntary contractions, can cause significant discomfort or pain. Some common contributors include:

– Dehydration
– Muscle overuse
– Restricted circulation
– Insufficient warm-up before strenuous activities

At Regina RMT, our mobile massage therapists use specialized techniques to help relieve muscle spasms and enhance overall muscle function. Here are some of the approaches we offer:

Deep Tissue Massage– This technique targets the deep layers of muscle, where built-up tension can reside. By stretching and loosening these layers, our therapists help release the stress that often leads to spasms.

Remedial Massage – By manipulating the muscle tissue, remedial massage aids in boosting lymph flow and removing waste products, creating a relaxation effect both physically and mentally.

Swedish Massage – Through gentle friction and gliding movements, Swedish massage encourages better circulation, aiding in the release of muscle fatigue while delivering fresh oxygen and nutrients to the tissue.

To tailor each massage to specific needs, our therapists use a variety of techniques, such as:

Effleurage– This involves smooth, gliding strokes across the muscles, ideal for loosening spasms from prolonged tension, like standing for extended periods.

Kneading – With firm, rhythmic pulling and squeezing motions, kneading helps boost blood flow, relieving muscle fatigue and stiffness.

Trigger Point– Applying focused pressure to key muscle points, trigger-point therapy helps release spasms and restore flexibility by stimulating blood flow to the area.

Our experienced massage therapists are equipped to help alleviate muscle spasms. If you’re experiencing cramps and would like to explore how massage can help, Regina RMT makes it easy with our mobile service—bringing therapeutic care right to your door. Call us today to discuss your options.
