Top Massage Therapist in Oklahoma City, OKC

A massage therapist will use their hands to manually manipulate the joints, muscles, connective tissue, tendons, and ligaments, essentially the soft tissue of the client’s body, to aid in the improvement and maintenance of health and treatment of pain from injuries or physical disorders. Massage therapy helps to relieve the body of pain and stress through the muscular, circulatory, and nervous systems. The massage therapy specialists at Petra’s Massage Therapy and Weight Loss Clinic will help you choose the type of massage therapy service that is best suited for you and your lifestyle, ensuring that you are comfortable with every step of the process and are addressing all concerns you may have related to your soft tissue.

Most massage therapy clinics will offer a variety of services, some of which are unique to their office depending on the professional background of the massage therapists or if they have niche specialties. The most common services that are offered at the majority of clinics include a general, whole-body soft tissue massage, these appointments usually last around 60 minutes and are framed more around your relaxation and release of tension. Similarly, a couple’s massages are typically soft tissue massages as well, just include your significant other receiving a massage at the same time in the same room as you. 
 
If you are pregnant, it is not safe to just request a normal massage, but many clinics will offer pregnancy-specific massage therapy that is safe for anyone who is pregnant. The hot stone massage is another great option for relaxation massage therapy, where the massage therapist will use heated stones to provide a deep pressured massage without causing as much discomfort.
 
There are also sports-focused or injury-focused massage therapists who will provide massage therapy to those with more specific concerns related to joint or muscle discomfort or pain. These kinds of massages are intended to provide more support for recovery, as well as strengthen and increase circulation to the area of concern.

Some of the many benefits of massage therapy include improving circulation, energy, alertness, and immune function, lowering heart rate and blood pressure, and reducing pain and muscle soreness, and/or tension, while always providing incredible relaxation and a decrease in stress (both physical and mental). Massage therapy has also been shown to be effective in the treatment of anxiety disorders because it can aid in boosting the neurotransmitters that are associated with lowering anxiety as well as aiding in decreasing the hormones that are proven to raise anxiety. Massage therapy has also been used alongside psychotherapy treatment as it is complementary in helping alleviate depression.

It is only recently that massage therapy has become considered an integral aspect of maintaining health and is now a commonly used service for pain maintenance and injury recovery. It has also been proven to provide many benefits for post-surgical care clients for specific surgeries including hip replacements, cardiothoracic surgery, and abdominal surgery. Some of these benefits include aiding in diminishing pain, stress, and anxiety that are a result of the operation, decreasing the amount of pain relief medication needed, reducing the development of scar tissue and inflammation, and helping the muscles and joints recover more quickly while regaining their range of motion without discomfort.
