Massage Therapy
New Jersey Pain & Numbness Relief Center offers a full range of massage services with our in-house massage therapist. The benefits of massage therapy are plentiful. A massage relaxes muscles, easing and soothing aches and pains. It rejuvenates and restores balance to our body and being, making us better for all things life throws our way.
Massage therapy can help in treating numerous conditions and injuries. For example, many types of back pain can be treated with massage therapy. Patients come to our facilities complaining about back muscle issues including tightness and spasms. Our massage therapy programs will pinpoint the muscle issues and put you back on the path of feeling better.
Massage treatment will allow blood to flow easier throughout the body while simultaneously moving toxins and waste away from critical regions including the organs and muscles. This produces an overall improvement in circulation. Another great result from effective massage therapy is that it could lower blood pressure over time. Lowering blood pressure is especially important for our patients with heart conditions and pulmonary diseases.

Massage therapy will help patients increase their range of motion. Whether due to age, injury, or just plain lack of movement, the body’s tendons, ligaments, and muscles begin to tighten up. This gradual tightening of our body creates a loss in motion and in-turn disables us from doing things we enjoy. Massage therapy helps patients regain that motion and give back the ability to live life to its fullest. Our therapists will work on restoring that range of motion by implementing techniques that will help promote circulation that serves to provide natural lubricants between joints and muscles. Our therapists will also work on stretching muscles and tendons to revitalize the body and return original flexibility and movement. By keeping our bodies flexible and loose, we can prevent a lot of potential injuries and maintain our body’s health and wellness.
Depression and anxiety pose real problems to both our mental and physical health. Both of these disorders can lead to stress, fatigue, and even make us more susceptible to disease by decreasing the strength of our immune system. Scientific studies have shown that massage therapy can help build our immune systems by increasing our body’s levels of cells that act as our first line of defense against viruses. Many of our patients have stated that receiving massage therapy at our facility allows them to feel more relaxed and healthy during their week. These patients have also mentioned that their newly found relaxation helps them cope and release their feelings of anxiety that have stricken them in the past.
Headaches can also be disabling for an individual. Many of our patients at New Jersey Pain & Numbness Relief Center have come to us with excruciating tension headaches, migraines, and headaches resulting from lack of sleep or poor diet. Research proves a direct relationship between neck pain and headaches. Massage can be an excellent therapeutic method to heal these types of headaches. Massage therapy relaxes muscles. This relaxed state will ease the tightness and pressures built up in our bodies that help create headaches.
Our Bayonne and Scotch Plains Massage Therapists at New Jersey Pain & Numbness Relief Center offer a number of Massage therapies including:
Swedish Massage: This type of massage is one of the most common and popular massage therapies available. Swedish massage utilizes five different massage techniques. The first technique used is called effleurage, also known as the “light touch” technique. This technique is used to prepare the muscles for deeper tissue massage. The second technique in a Swedish massage is kneading which is the first step in beginning to work the deeper tissues during the session. The third technique is friction where the palms of the hands are used in a circular motion to release pressure in the muscles. Vibration is the fourth technique in a Swedish massage and percussion is the fifth which is light tapping on the patient’s body.
Deep Muscle Tissue Massage: Our Bayonne and Scotch Plains massage therapists at New Jersey Pain & Numbness Relief Center use deep tissue massages to work deeper muscles and connective tissue in the effort to realign these muscles and relieve deep pressure and tension that is commonly formed. Deep tissue massages are very often used on the neck, shoulders, and back. This type of massage focuses on these deeper muscles and alleviates pain and discomfort that is created from a variety of problems including Fibromyalgia, Chronic Pain, and injuries from accidents.
Myofascial Release: This form of massage is very beneficial for alleviating pain and increasing range of motion. Myofascial Release therapy is based on the understanding of the body’s fascial system. Fascia is like a sweater-woven muscle system within our bodies. This form of massage therapy focuses on this system and utilizes techniques to relax this group of muscles and promote a better range of motion and remove pain caused by tightness, pressure build-up, scarring, and more. The fascial system is interwoven throughout our body so any tightness, strain, or pull in this system can inadvertently affect every part of our body and create an array of symptoms and issues. Myofascial Release will eradicate those problems in the fascial system and help you return back to a healthy life.
