Expected Results of Deep Tissue Lincoln Park Massage If Done Right

If you have had a Swedish Lincoln Park massage, then you have a fairly good idea of the motions, although the pressure is stronger. Also, this type of Lincoln Park massage focuses on the “knots” in your muscles which are probably causing you anywhere from mild discomfort to extreme pain when you move that particular muscle group.

Have you ever swung your arms around and stopped abruptly due to pain? This pain could be caused by muscles tension, or what most people commonly refer to as “knots.” It is possible to have more than one “knot” in your body especially if you are physically active, like to dance, sleep in the wrong position, or if you are an athlete. However, one session of deep tissue massage is not likely to fix your problem completely. In fact, chronic knot problems are best solved by going to a physical therapist or having regular sports massages. You will have to find the cause for the chronic knots so you can take steps to avoid future problems.

For example, if you are a tennis player, the knots are usually found in your shoulders because you swing your shoulders to generate power in your game. A weekly deep tissue session is not the only remedy to take. You will have to do something more, aside from the massage.

Finally, after every deep tissue massage, be sure to drink lots of liquids (water is best) to flush out the lactic acid causing the knot problem. Any soreness should disappear within 24 to 48 hours.
