Massage therapy can be described as a form of therapeutic massage that focuses healing power on the various soft tissue of the body. Bio-mechanical massage is a unique combination of massage techniques and technical know-how. It relies on using the body's own mechanics and science to physically replace stress and eliminate bodily health in an individual. Bio mechanical methods may also employ manual therapy, including stretching, soft-tissue manipulation, stress relief, motor skill training, and stress relief.
This massage technique focuses on the use specific tools to create mechanical pressure. The TENS machine (also known as Thera-Cane) is one example of such a tool. Bio-Mechanical Stimulation massage compresses the joints, muscles, ligaments, while other tools use the flow bioelectrical energy known as the "Pelt", generated by the BioMechanical Stressulator. These tools are controlled by the massage therapist and the patient is positioned in such a way that they are able to receive the most benefit.
Mechanotransduction, a massage technique that reduces inflammation, is known as mechanotransduction. Inflammation occurs when there is a disruption in the body's normal inflammatory process. This can occur for various reasons and is usually the result of trauma or excessive stress. Inflammation may cause pain, numbness or even weakness by disrupting the communication between the brain's nervous system.
Bio-Mechanical Stimulation is a great way to manage inflammation. It is possible to reduce inflammation by using these modalities along with massage therapy. Many massage techniques are being developed and tested to reduce pain. Cellular massage is one example. This is where a massage application such as a cream or lotion, is applied to the cellular level, in order to provide relief from the pain caused by inflammation.
The application uses very low pressure, which is transmitted by the use of pressure point. The patient can experience pain relief and reduced inflammation by using bio-mechanical stimulation. Bio Mechanical Stimulation can be used for massage therapy including deep muscle massages, effleurage vibration therapy, macrobiotic massages, reflexology and transcutaneous electric nerve stimulation. This massage can provide pain relief and inflammation relief. It also helps to improve muscle function.
A respiratory burst massage, which uses mechanical pressure to stimulate the muscles, is another application. The respiratory burst uses a mechanical force to stimulate and relieve the respiratory muscles. This technique has also been found to have significant effects on the health of the muscles, particularly the intervertebral discs. There are also other physiological benefits to be gained from the application of this technique including the stimulation of the parasympathetic nervous system and the release of endorphins.
A massage like the respiratory burst can have profound physiological effects, such as increased blood circulation and increased cell exchange. This increases cellular exchange can lead to increased fluid elimination and a decrease in arterial pressure. Increased blood flow and cellular exchange lead to higher oxygenation in the areas of application. These physiological effects of the application of this type of massage are believed to provide a healing effect on the underlying tissues that are receiving massage.
This type of massage can also be used to reduce inflammation. Fibromyalgia is the most common symptom of an inflammatory response. There are cases when the inflammatory response is linked to other musculoskeletal conditions like osteoarthritis and rheumatoid. The application of this type massage has been shown in studies to improve the inflammatory response. It is therefore believed to be beneficial in the management and treatment of secondary injury conditions. It is possible that this massage may be beneficial in the prevention or treatment of secondary injuries, particularly for athletes and the elderly.
