OC Massage & Spa Health

Selecting the Right Massage for Your Needs

By Bonnie Wong

W

ant a remedy to feeling happier and rejuvenated? Massages provide a variety of health benefits, relieve stress, promote relaxation, treat pain, and aid in rejuvenation. With over 200 types of massages available, you may not be certain which treatment is the best for you, but remember to focus on your specific needs and preferences when making your selection.

1. Swedish Massage

When you hear the word “massage,” chances are you’re thinking of the Swedish massage. This type of massage consists of three different strokes.

Effleurage is the name for the long, sweeping stroke technique that normally starts and ends the massage. The masseuses’ fingers, knuckles, or thumbs may be used to apply friction. The second is petrissage, which involves kneading the muscles in rolling motions. Lastly, tapotement uses fast movements like chopping or pounding. However, not all places use tapotement because it may not be relaxing for everyone.

2. Shiatsu Massage

The Shiatsu massage originated from Japan and uses stretching and finger pressure in rapid, rhythmic sequences following pressure points for 2-8 seconds. It is designed to fix imbalance within the body and has origins traced back to healing procedures. Its intention is to improve circulation, relieve stiff muscles, and remove stress from the body by calming the nervous system.

14 OC Massage & Spa

3. Thai Massage

Probably one of the most “interactive” bodywork treatments available, the Thai massage incorporates yoga-like stretches that the masseuse aids in forming. The idea is to feel refreshed and invigorated resulting in an increase in energy levels, increased flexibility, and overall health being. Just a heads up: the masseuse can (and will) use every part of their body to get the full effect and in some sessions, you might even be walked on.

4. Deep Tissue Massage

This massage may leave you feeling a bit sore because it aims at applying a firm and deep amount of pressure onto specific areas. The masseuse will use knuckles and elbows to “strip out” muscle tissue as close to the bone as possible. This massage generally helps athletes who work their bodies intensely, people with dense tissue, and people who are undergoing physical therapy to breakdown scar tissue.

5. Hot Stone Massage

A feeling like no other! Using heated, smooth, round stones, the masseuse will place the rocks on certain points of your body to warm and simultaneously loosen muscles that are tense and tight. The massage therapist may even use the stones themselves to apply pressure to your body to relieve muscle tension.

6. Sports Massage

Athletes know that physical activity can result in soreness, tired muscles, and even painful injury.

The sports massage combines Swedish, Shiatsu, and other massage techniques to specifically locate areas that may be affected by your particular sport. Sports massages allow athletes to prepare for performance, and prevent and treat injury.

It is especially beneficial for reducing pain and relaxing muscles to reduce anxiety levels.

OC Massage & Spa 15

7. Pregnancy/Prenatal Massage

Designed specifically for expectant mothers, the prenatal massage is safe for both mother and baby. For optimal comfort, cushions are placed beneath you. This massage is definitely great for pregnant women to reduce their stress, remove pregnancy discomforts such as backaches, stiff necks, leg cramps, headaches, and edema (swelling). If you suffer from headaches, muscle tension, fatigue, and other aches and pains during or as a result of pregnancy, this treatment may be the one for you.

8. Reflexology

Experiencing tired, aching feet because you’re standing up or walking all day? Reflexology may be the treatment just for you. Also known simply as a foot massage, reflexology equips the use of pressure on certain areas of the foot, which correspond to systems and organs in the body creating a relaxing feeling.

9. Aromatherapy Massage

Filled with heavenly scents of plant and essential oils, this massage uses select oils to relax, energize, balance, and even reduce stress to stimulate your entire body. This is a great massage with an emotional component. For example, one of the most common essential oils used is lavender, which allows you to “reset” and feel relaxed.

10. Lymphatic Massage

If you’re suffering from injury or are experiencing post-surgery pain, the Lymphatic massage is highly recommended for its proven swelling reduction properties. Therapists use a light, gentle stroke that is repeated over and over to stimulate the lymphatic system and decrease edema.

Next time you’re looking to de-stress, put the glass of wine down and opt for a new experience: a massage! Here we’ve compiled ten of our favorite and most popular types of massage that equip the use of different techniques that are suitable to your needs. So lay back, clear your mind, and exhale. n 16 OC Massage & Spa

OC Massage & Spa Workout

Exercise Supersets To Get You In Shape

By Bonnie Wong

T

he New Year is quickly approaching, and that should be enough motivation to get you off the couch, follow these tips from online fitness platform Redux.Fit. Redux.Fit is a premium service with 1-on-1 training via online video connecting clients with top personal trainers for personalized workout routines designed to help you get motivated from the comfort of your own home. Working out can be extremely rewarding and strengthen not only for your body. Redux.Fit offers three ten-minutes each “Supersets” to get your started off. To help you and a partner, perform each exercise as a superset, meaning one after the other without stopping to rest.

Superset #1 – Start With Some Cardio

1. Start Superset #1 by facing your partner to motivate you. First, stand with your hands directly out in front of you at shoulder’s length. Run in place, bringing your knees to meet your palms each time you lift your leg. To get the most of your workout, keep your hands up and don’t cheat by lowering them. Do this for 60 seconds.

2. Moving on, follow this up with 60 seconds of jumping jacks.

3. Then, starting from a standing position, bend your knees and bring your hands to the floor. Jump your feet back into a straight-arm plank position. After, jump your feet back into your hands and follow this by jumping straight into the air. These motions are know as burpees—do this for 60 seconds.

Repeat each of these three exercises three more times. At the end of your third round you can rest for 60 seconds. Repeat each exercise 3 times.

Superset #3 – Finish Up With Legs

1. The last Superset #3 focuses on four 60second exercises. The first involves standing with your feet turned out; bending your knees and dropping hips back to allow a kettle bell to swing between your legs. At the same time, stand up and lift the kettle bell up to eye level allowing the momentum of the weight to guide you. Reverse the order allowing the bell to freely swing back between legs with each rep.

Superset #2 – Focuses On Your Abdomen

1. Moving on to the Superset #2, have you and your partner grab a stability ball and lie flat on your backs next to each other.

Hold the ball between your feet and simultaneously raise both your upper body and legs to create a V-shape with your entire body. After, pass the stability ball from your feet to your hands. Then, pass the ball from your hands to your feet using the same motion. Repeat this until 60 seconds are up.

2. On to the next position—60 seconds of alternating reaches. Position yourself in a straight-arm plank position still facing your partner. Lift your right hand and left food at the same time, keeping hips parallel to the floor. Shake hands with your partner and then lower your right arm and leg back to the floor before repeating on the opposite side.

3. The last exercise of Superset #2 involves a little motivation! Have both you and your partner lie on your back with knees bent and feet flat on the ground, positioning legs so that your partner’s legs are outside of yours. Have your partner lightly press their legs against the outside of yours while you do the opposite, pressing your legs against the inside of theirs.

At the same time, perform a sit up with your partner. When you both reach the top, give each other a quick kiss before reversing back to the starting position.

Repeat entire Superset three times.

Keep these tips in mind and remember to stick to your goals!

2. Moving on to the second exercise, keep your feet parallel and shoulder length apart, holding the kettle bell from the bottom while you perform a squat in a 90-degree angle.

Then, return to the starting position before stepping your right foot behind you in a 90degree reverse lunge. Return your right foot to the starting position and then begin with your left side.

3. The next exercise involves push up into toe touches, positioning yourself in a straight-arm plank as your perform a push up. Return to the straight-arm plank position before drawing your hips into a “downward dog position” and reaching right hand back to touch left root. Return to the starting position before performing another push up and performing the toe touches on your other side. Go on to the squat pivot press, starting with feet parallel and shoulder length apart, holding kettle bell by the handle with your right hand resting the bell against your forearm. Perform a squat and simultaneously return to standing while performing a shoulder press and rotating hips/upper body to the left. Complete 30 seconds on your right before switching to your left.

4. Finish off with a forearm plank for 60 seconds before repeating this Superset #3 two more times.
