The Tulsa Massage Specials

If you live in Tulsa, or are just passing through, it is definitely worth taking the time and indulging in a Tulsa massage. In Tulsa, there are a number of spas offering a variety of massages to make you fell rejuvenated and refreshed in no time at all. Here are a few Tulsa massage specials.

Massage Specials 

Depending how much time you have to spare, you can get a massage in 10 minutes or it can take as long as the whole day. Of course, I always advise to indulge when possible as it is very important to give your body, mind and soul a pampering now and again.

Swedish massage is one of the Tulsa massage specials, which is a must if you have the time. It will take you anywhere from 45 minutes to couple of hours depending on which options of the massage you choose. The Swedish massage is known to relax and refresh your every muscle, leaving you feeling light as feather with skin as soft as a baby's bottom.

Another Tulsa massage special is the deep tissue massage. This can take anywhere from 10 minutes to an hour. The deep tissue massage is known to deal with any stress that your body has gone through and due to which you encountered muscle cramps and/or muscle tightening. Deep tissue massage works with the problem area, which usually is around the neck and shoulder areas and sometimes other parts of the body as well. 

Quick Massage Specials

If, however, you don't have much time on hand, the recommended Tulsa massages are:

Foot and ankle massage – This is my favorite massage, especially if you are on your feet for a long during the day and/or drive for long periods of time. The foot and ankle massage takes away all aches and sores accumulated in time and leaves your feet ready to take on the world. I recommend the foot and ankle massage every week is possible. This massage does not take longer than 15 - 20 minutes.

Shoulders and neck massage - Yet another quick massage that works wonders. The neck and shoulders Tulsa massage works quickly to take away your muscles stress and whole body aches. Usually the tensions and stress accumulate around our neck and shoulders area from different activities such as working on the computer, writing and any other physical activity done solely with our hands. This massage should not take longer than 15-20 minutes and will leave you feeling like a million dollars. 

Conclusion

Whenever possible make time and treat yourself to a massage however short, you will help your body cope with the stress and physical work easier and also rejuvenate yourself in the process.

Reflexology Is Another Form of Massage Therapy

Reflexology is another form of massage therapy. Similar to shiatsu, it is a physical act of applying pressure to the feet and hands using specific thumb, finger and hand techniques without the use of lotion. It is based on a system of zones and reflex areas that reflect the human anatomy on both the feet and hands which in theory have significant effects on the entire body. 

This form of massage therapy has been around for thousands of years. There is archaeological evidence that suggests this was used by the Egyptians in 2330 BC, China in 2704 BC and Japan in 690 BC.  The West only knew about reflexology in the 19th century. 

Although reflexology is usually applied to the feet and hands, there are those who also apply the same thing to the ear. This technique is considered to be a modified from auricular therapy which is an acupuncture technique.

In general, reflexology is used to reduce stress because both the feet and hands help set the tension level for the rest of the body. If you are able to fix that, then there is balance in the body. It can also help those who are suffering from arthritis, back pain, digestive disorders or problems, hormonal imbalance, insomnia, menstrual disorders, sports injuries and tension headaches.

You must never go for reflexology if you are pregnant, have foot ulcers or blood clots. If you are doing this for the first time, you better tell the professional your medical history. 

Whether reflexology can help certain conditions and diseases is still being determined. But even if other tests need to be made, many experts agree that it is complement to standard medical care. With that said, patients should never use it as a replacement to medical help. 

The best part about reflexology is that it is not painful. If this happens, you should tell the reflexologist to go down one notch. If there are certain areas in the body that are sore, tell them to focus on it as this will decrease with pressure. 

Reflexology can be done at anytime and anywhere. If you have the time, you can even do this once a day. In fact, given its popularity most hospitals and HMO’s now consider this for insurance reimbursement as it is often used for post-operative or palliative care. In fact, one third of cancer patients undergo reflexology regularly. 

Most sessions being conducted by practitioners may last from 30 minutes to an hour. It is also a clothed session so the only thing you have to remove is your shoes and socks. You don’t even have to lie down on a table because some will perform this while you are seated on a chair. 

At the end of each session, you should feel relaxed. How long it lasts is a good indicator as to how effective it was. If you will be having another session in the future, you should give feedback to the reflexologist so they know what to do the next time you drop by. 

Reflexology is another form of massage therapy you can try if you want to relieve tension from the body. If you are interested in trying it, all you have to do is check if there is one within your neighborhood.
