The Omni Massage Roller in a Professional Setting

In a clinical setting, the Omni Roller can be very effective on both large and small muscle groups. Use the Omni Roller with stroking or stripping techniques on large muscles, either superficially or deep, as with the 6th and 7th layers of the spinal para-vertebal musculature. The Omni Roller is excellent for moving fluid congestion in and around muscle trigger points.

The Omni Roller is also perfect for general fascial release as well as specific muscle work. For smaller muscle groups such as with the hands, feet and face, the Omni Massage Power Roller works really well as a pressure point tool.

Small circular motions combined with good deep pressure seem to work well with all muscle groups. You can actually feel, through the ball, what is going on below the surface.

Just like driving your car over a 'speed bump', you can feel the change in consistency of the muscle tissue thereby locating and identifying certain restrictions, trigger points and facial problems. The Omni Massage Roller can remove knots in muscles with less pain and more speed than fingers. The use of oils or creams with the Omni Roller gives added therapeutic value to the treatment and we recommend that you apply the oil or cream directly on the skin and then use the roller to complete the therapy.

The Omni Roller can then be cleaned up easily with soap and water afterward, making it the perfect tool for all your bodywork needs.

The top six professional massage techniques

By: Nishanth Reddy

Massage is probably the oldest and simplest existing form of medical care that it has been applied for relaxation, fitness, and other health purposes. Basically, massage therapy is a therapeutic technique that involves manipulation of the soft tissues of the body. It is the calming, therapeutic process of kneading, stroking, and pressing the different areas of the body to alleviate pain, relieve stress and tensions, or relax, stimulate and tone the body.

Well, as what most experts have said, massage, no matter how simple or complex the techniques involved, can really be a great healing system.

A number of massage techniques are available nowadays. The massage is commonly applied in different techniques and in different strokes. The techniques and strokes vary widely from the most delicate touch with the fingertips to the more focused deep tissue work. These techniques may even vary in speed as well as in pressure.

Below is a list of the top rated massage techniques. Read on for one of them might be the right option for you.

Deep Tissue Massage

The deep tissue massage, on the most basic, is a massage technique that focuses on the deeper layers of muscle tissue. It involves a number of slow movements, but generally the pressure is more intense as it aims to release the chronic patterns of tension in the body. The most common target of these movements and deep finger pressure are the contracted areas, either following or going across the muscles of the fiber, fascia and tendons. Usually, in this kind of massage, the therapists use their thumb, fingers and even elbows to apply the needed pressure.

Swedish Massage

Also included in the line of the top rated massage techniques is the so-called Swedish massage. Basically, this technique involves the use of kneading, tapping or calming strokes applied to the entire body to loosen sore joints and relieve muscle tension and pain. Well, what sets Swedish massage unique from the other massage techniques is that it involved five major beneficial strokes: effleurage, petrissage, friction, tapotement, and vibration. Although each of these strokes differ according to their movements and target points, all of them are developed to promote an ultimate feeling of being pampered.

There is one particular purpose that the Swedish massage is strongly holding - to increase the flow of oxygen in the blood and release toxins that were trapped in the muscles. With this purpose alone, the Swedish massage highly works to shorten the recovery time from muscular strain.

Heated Stone Massage

Heated stone massage, also known as la stone massage, is widely appreciated and accepted in the healthcare and bodywork industry today. Several clinics, spas, fitness centers, and other healthcare establishments have in fact considered it a very effective alternative to the regular massage therapy.

During the heated stone massage procedure, the therapists and the clients themselves will notice certain changes on the body temperature, including the heart and breathing rates. Heated stone massage is used to indicate such changes to determine the flow of the blood and the exchange of blood and oxygen in the body, allowing a sense of well-being in the end. That's basically how the heated stone massage works. 

The Omni Metal massage roller works really well as an alternative to hot stone massage.  Place a metal massage roller into piping hot water not boiling so that the massage roller is completely submerged for a couple of minutes.  After a couple of minutes remove the massage roller from the hot water and shake of any excess water.  The massage roller will retain the heat for very long periods allowing you to enjoy the benefits of heated massage in the comfort of your own home..

Neuromuscular Massage

This is actually a form of deep tissue massage that is applied to the individual muscles. However, the main purpose of the massage techniques involved here is to increase the blood and lymphatic flow, while reducing the pain and release pressure trapped on the nerves. The neuromuscular massage techniques are also considered to release the trigger points which could help relieve headaches and the pain in your shoulder.

Rolfing

Rolfing also hit the line of the most well-known and widely performed massage techniques available. This technique, on the most basic, involves reeducating the body about proper posture. Yes, posture is given much attention here for the belief that posture highly determines health problems like headaches, backaches and joint pain. With that focus, the rolfing massage techniques no doubt seek to straighten and realign your body by working the myofascia, which is actually the connective tissue that assists to hold your body together. This tissue surrounds your muscles.
