Massage for UCSB, SBCC, Westmont College Students, Faculty and Staff

Massage for UCSB, SBCC, Westmont College Students, Faculty and Staff

My SPECIALTY is “On the Edge” Deep Tissue Massage. I work on a scale of 1 – 10, where 7 is on the edge and 10 is very excruciating pain. Some discomfort is necessary when receiving deep tissue massage to get results.   A lot of my clients handle the deep tissue pain or even like the deep tissue pain in order to get the quickest results for their body type. My style of Deep Tissue Massage releases the body’s natural painkillers whereby it stimulates the release of endorphins, the morphine-like substances that the body manufactures, into the brain and nervous system….kind of like a “Runners High” or a parasympathetic state “rest and digest” of mind.

Resistance training (also called strength training or weight training) is the use of resistance to muscular contraction to build the strength, anaerobic endurance, and size of skeletal muscles. Resistance training is based on the principle that muscles of the body will work to overcome a resistance force when they are required to do so. When you do resistance training repeatedly and consistently, your muscles become stronger.

People tend to assume therapeutic massage means deep tissue massage, and that they will get a very strong massage.

The sports recovery process is vital to restore physiological and psychological functions to an athlete after both training and competition days. For those athletes that compete in a regular sport, generally on a weekly basis, it is particularly important that they take their recovery seriously.

The recovery process is necessary to help minimize the risk of fatigue and maximize the speed of recovery between competition days.

As more and more elite sports persons gain a higher demand and a strong desire to gain an edge over the opposition, it becomes more important that effective recovery strategies become of high priority in sporting teams.
