Chronic, stubborn pain is a common experience we hear about at Serenity Zen. Whether it be due to migraines or back & body aches, there is one aspect that is consistent in all these cases. Medicine or spot treatments only bring temporary relief; lighting up in other areas throughout the day. What started out as a shoulder ache has now turned into stiffness and tension that is felt throughout the entire body.
A NETWORK OF TISSUE
Pain often has this domino effect because of the connective myofascial tissue that hold every organ, blood vessel, bone, nerve fiber, and muscle in place. Any part of the body that we are continually working may get sore over time, especially the tough membranes that connect to your muscles. At the same time, these nerves are almost as sensitive as skin. While the tendency to get stiff is normal, lymphatic fluids can build up in the fascia causing inflammation and tenderness.
CONSISTENCY IS KEY
Keeping good posture in mind, moving & stretching daily, and heat therapy is the key to combating chronic pain. Our services at Serenity Zen combine all these factors, working through muscle tension from head to toe using specialized styles to relieve problem areas in a relaxing environment. If your best efforts still aren’t working, consider adding consistent massage therapy to combat chronic pain.
