ADDUCTOR MUSCLE RELIEF AT ALLCHRISTIE MASSAGE IN SANDY UTAH


ADDUCTOR MUSCLE RELIEF AT
ALLCHRISTIE MASSAGE IN SANDY UTAH


Adductor muscles move a body part towards the midline of the body. At Allchristie Massage our mission is to create for you a pain free life. Being a massage therapist means knowing that muscle locations are extremely important. We massage the muscles in the direction of their attachments, with cross fiber strokes, directional work and friction to loosen tightness and to give you pain relief. Each muscle is worked for the release of tension, often caused by overwork or overuse by you. When this event happens your best friends is a massage therapist!

Remember the song “Be happy, No worries”? Be Happy!
Smiles come from way down in your pain free essence. We, at Allchristie Massage Spa want you to leave with that smile on your face and a song in your heart.

The view above shows the locations of the muscles surrounding the femur bone of the leg. The “Big Bang” theory is completely null once you see how the human body is formed with bones, muscles, tendons, ligaments, nerves, blood vessels, organs, and attachments.

The adductors of the hip - I have added their locations as follows: Adductor longus, abductor brevis, and adductor magnus are all located underneath the Pectineus muscle and attached to the Ischium and Pubis bones. The Ischium is part of the Ilium in the lateral pelvis. The Sacrum is attached to the hip bone (Greater Trocanter) by the Piriformis. The Epidermis lies on top of the three Adductor muscles (mentioned above); therefore, attaching the Sacrum with Ligaments (Sacrotuberous, and sacrospinous) allows a solid structure.

For muscles that continue to feel tired, tight, or painful, we use essential oils and apply manually to the area for deep penetration into the muscle. These essential oils need to stay on the body for 24 hours, if possible. Giving them time to penetrate and work deeply into the muscle. It is not unusual for the muscles that have been worked, by your massage therapist at Allchristie Massage Spa, to experience some tenderness afterwards. We advise our clients to drink plenty of water after their massage to allow the toxins and lymph fluids to move, be diluted, and expelled. If water is not taken for several hours, the body may feel stressed. Any stress may cause pain or swelling and this is not the effect you are seeking. Be sure to drink plenty of water after your massage.

Today is a good day to get your massage at AllChristie Massage Spa in Sandy, Utah. Don’t forget to put that smile back on your face with a GREAT massage. Don’t forget that we also have the Migun Jade Heated bed for relaxation. Call for your next appointment.

AROMATHERAPY INFO AND USES AT ALLCHRISTIE MASSAGE IN SANDY UTAH

Aromatherapy is the science of using volatile plant oils from one or a variety of plants, labeled essential oils, for psychological and physical well-being. The scents from these oils bring about positive changes in the mind, mood, and in the body. Essential oils have healing properties and can be used to reverse illness and physical ailments. Essential oils treat medical conditions. For example, they can fight infections, promote wound healing, reduce inflammation, affect hormonal levels, stimulate the immune system, heat the skin promoting blood circulation, and are good for digestion, sinus or lung congestion.

Scent is a very powerful thing. Scent has the power to transform our emotions, and heal our bodies. For example: certain scents like oatmeal cookies can trigger memories and take you to that experience instantly. Ohers scents can bring about certain mental or physical changes. Some persons are very affected by relaxation with certain oils. You can see the facial expressions change – right before your eyes.

During a massage the use of essential oils is a powerful way to maximize the healing power of the massage itself, with a powerful calming or energizing effect.

A client that is suffering from Arthritis will have pain in joints.
