Massage Therapy A Powerful Ally

Amanda Sullivan Alternative medicine, Educational, Healthy Lifestyle, Massage Service, Massage Therapy, Utah, Zen Massage , , , , , ,

We know that Massage therapy can be used to help manage a health condition or enhance wellness. Massage has been practiced in most cultures, both Eastern and Western, throughout human history, and was one of the earliest tools that people used to try to relieve pain. 

So what exactly are the benefits of receiving massage or bodywork treatments? 

While personal experiences very, massage is useful for all of the conditions listed below and more.

Massage can:

  • Alleviate low-back pain and improve range of motion
  • Ease medication dependence
  • Enhance immunity by stimulating lymph flow—the body’s natural defense system
  • Exercise and stretch weak, tight, or atrophied muscles
  • Help athletes of any level prepare for, and recover from, strenuous workouts
  • Improve the condition of the body’s largest organ—the skin
  • Increase joint flexibility
  • Lessen depression and anxiety
  • Promote tissue regeneration, reducing scar tissue and stretch marks
  • Pump oxygen and nutrients into tissues and vital organs, improving circulation
  • Reduce post-surgery adhesions and swelling
  • Reduce spasms and cramping
  • Relax and soften injured, tired, and overused muscles
  • Release endorphins—amino acids that work as the body’s natural painkiller
  • Relieve migraine pain

A Powerful Ally

There’s no denying the power of bodywork. Regardless of the adjectives, we assign to it “pampering, rejuvenating, therapeutic” or the reasons we seek it out “a luxurious treat, stress relief, pain management”, massage therapy can be a powerful ally in your healthcare regimen.

Experts estimate that upwards of 90 percent of diseases are stress-related. Perhaps nothing ages us faster, internally and externally, than high stress. While eliminating anxiety and pressure altogether in this fast-paced world may be idealistic, massage can, without a doubt, help manage stress.

Massage Benefits:

  • Decreased anxiety
  • Enhanced sleep quality
  • Greater energy
  • Improved concentration
  • Increased circulation
  • Reduced fatigue

Furthermore, clients often report a sense of perspective and clarity after receiving a massage. The emotional balance bodywork provides can often be just as vital and valuable as the more tangible physical benefits.

Profound Effects

In response to massage, specific physiological and chemical changes cascade throughout the body, with profound effects. Research shows that with massage:

  • Arthritis sufferers note fewer aches and less stiffness and pain.
  • Asthmatic children show better pulmonary function and increased peak air flow.
  • Burn injury patients report reduced pain, itching, and anxiety.
  • High blood pressure patients demonstrate lower diastolic blood pressure, anxiety, and stress hormones.
  • Premenstrual syndrome sufferers have decreased water retention and cramping.
  • Preterm infants have improved weight gain.

Research continues to show the enormous benefits of touch—which range from treating chronic diseases, neurological disorders, and injuries, to alleviating the tensions of modern lifestyles. Consequently, the medical community is actively embracing bodywork, and massage is becoming an integral part of hospice care and neonatal intensive care units. Many hospitals are also incorporating on-site massage practitioners and even spas to treat post-surgery or pain patients as part of the recovery process.

Zen Massage Therapists

When it comes to massage therapy, no amount of exotic marble, fountains, lights, and monograms on fancy terry cloth robes and slippers can equal the skilled, experienced hands of a master massage therapist. A luxurious interior can make a great impression, but when you’re back in your clothes again walking out the door, the only thing that matters is how you feel in the real world. The quality of any spa experience is quite literally in the hands of the therapist. Nobody understands this better than ZEN Massage of Salt Lake City. Our partner-therapists make ZEN Massage what it is. We partner with only the best therapists who share a sincere passion for the craft of healing and the art of massage. But most of all, our partner-therapists are approachable. They know how to listen and to understand. They want to make you feel great. They enjoy what they do because they do it exceptionally well.

Dr. Helen Litovsky, LMT

“My goal is to show our clients how to minimize work-related repetitive stress injuries and help people recognize and control stress-driven habits like smoking, drinking, and over-eating. My approach focuses on producing immediate physiological changes in the body which lead to increased awareness of the client’s mental and physical condition. My technique targets stress areas in the client that are responsible for chronic pain, discomfort, and loss of sleep. With proper application, the application of ZEN therapy restores the body’s natural posture and resolves the discomfort which interferes with prolonged and restful sleep.”

Helen Litovsky received her Doctorate of Medicine from the National University of Ukraine in 2002 and successfully defended her license before the US National Board of Medical Examiners. With all of the great opportunities in medicine, it is truly a testament to the innovation and potential of ZEN that she has postponed her clinical residency to help oversee and develop the ZEN Bodywork System.

Keegan Hughes, LMT

She quickly became the most requested and greatly ranked therapist at Zen Massage. She attended school at the Utah College of Massage Therapy in 2013 where she quickly developed a passion for the holistic healing of massage. Her goal as a therapist is to provide a relaxing and therapeutic experience while also giving you the tools you need to heal yourself outside of your sessions. Most of her work consists of deep tissue with Swedish mixed in for relaxation. However she also really enjoys injury work! Many of her clients come to her with a medical issue they need assistance with. Give us a call and ask how she can help you or book your appointment online today!

Ian Mitchell, LMT

Ian has a deep desire to create positive change in people through massage. Ian graduated from the Utah College of Massage Therapy and has been a Licensed Massage Therapist since 2000.  He is proud to have been a member of the 2002 Winter Olympics Sports Massage Team and enjoys working with athletes to maintain and enhance athletic performance.  Ian loves to help people relax and get relief from pain and tension using a blend of Swedish, deep tissue, and muscle-specific trigger-point techniques. He uses thoughtful communication while listening to the body to reach the specific goals of each client.

Brice Bowhay, LMT

Brice is a Board Certified Structural Integrator and a Licensed Massage Therapist. He has been a licensed EMT and has a diploma in personal training.   He got into bodywork after becoming frustrated from chronic pain and discomfort stemming from imbalances and scoliosis. He sought out experts in many other fields, but it wasn’t until he experience structural integration bodywork that he found permanent solutions and was equipped with relief. Structural Integration is a philosophy of the important fact the body is an interconnected system of nerves and connective tissue. He uses a series of sessions to progressively and incremental make long-term changes to connective tissue quality and movement patterns. In short, it resets posture, and disperses spots on chronic tension, offering a permanent solution for unwinding and releasing patterns of pain, stress, and trauma that accumulate from decades of injuries, physically and emotionally.

This involves safe, comfortable touch, and gliding strokes of medium pressure, which should feel extremely relaxing and help improve breathing and walking efficiency. Structural integration is a collaborative partnership, and clients can expect to stand up and notice that their body “feels different” and “lighter” and “more grounded” after each session. These changes persist from one session to the next, making Structural Integration a powerful catalyst to facilitate interpersonal transformation, which was the intention of S.I. according to Dr. Ida Rolf, the founder of the field who pioneered the first blueprint for how to organize the body in line with gravity.

Shar’s specialties are neck and back work. She enjoys doing all forms of Massage, but she specializes in Swedish, Deep Tissue, and Reflexology.

Check Out Olena Litovsky’s Story

Amanda Sullivan Blog, Healthy Lifestyle, Massage Service, Massage Therapy, Utah, Zen Massage , , , , , ,

Today we’d like to introduce you to Olena Litovsky.

Alright, so thank you so much for sharing your story and insight with our readers. To kick things off, can you tell us a bit about how you got started?
Massage was always a passion of mine. In 2006, as I was studying for medical exams we decided to open Zen massage. Started small as a way to stay in contact with my clinical background while going through steps of medical validation of credentials, but grew into amazing practice connecting two critical components of happy employees and satisfied clients.

Zen massage grew and constantly kept adapting to demand and changes in our social environment. Starting from the economic difficulties of the 2008 recession to the Covid19 shut down for six weeks.

I’m sure you wouldn’t say it’s been obstacle-free, but so far would you say the journey has been a fairly smooth road?
Of course, during 15 years we have seen it all. Busy and slow. High unemployment rate and difficulties finding competent and compatible team players to add to our Zen family. Despite all of them we only grew stronger.

As you know, we’re big fans of you and your work. For our readers who might not be as familiar what can you tell them about what you do?
I do have a medical background (graduated from Medical school in Ukraine) but had neither business education nor experience. So, the beginning of the journey was easy and without expectations to make money.

It came later as a result of regulars returning customers, word of mouth, etc. Lots of our clients are close to us as a family too. Some have been loyal to us for 15 years, I am overwhelmed with gratitude every day. Being so happy to experience this perfect tango between business and passion, love to help people.

That is probably the key difference between us and other massage businesses. We don’t follow the traditional approach to staff and employment. We allow lots of freedom, encourage taking time off as needed to spend time with family, friends, to recover physically and mentally. Health is the main topic here. That includes physical, emotional, and spiritual aspects.

Risk-taking is a topic that people have widely differing views on – we’d love to hear your thoughts.
I love taking risks. Without it, I believe, it is impossible to achieve success and growth. Major risk #1 for me personally was to come to the USA in 2004.

As for Zen Massage signing up for the construction of the new location, signing up for a personal guarantee right before the 2008 market crash and downturn of the economy. I take risks in numerous ways in my life, my personal safety, and my hobbies by training and competitions in jiu-jitsu.

Hiking, always trying new things like target gun shooting, ax throwing, ect. Trying new travels and experiences like yoga retreats. I challenge myself and others with physical and mental challenges. Risks are a big part of who I am.

Pricing:

  • $89 for 60 min massage (reg price)
  • $69 for 60 min massage (membership price
  • $129 for 90 min massage
  • $159 for 120 min massage

Every Athlete Needs Massage Therapy

Amanda Sullivan Healthy Lifestyle, Massage Advantage, Massage Therapy, Sports Injury, Sports Massage, Therapy Sports Injury , , ,

Being a great athlete isn’t just about practicing on the court, it’s also about keeping your body healthy. In interviews, most star athletes say that massage therapy is part of their usual pre-game routine.

Massage therapy has helped tons of athletes stay in shape, improve performance and relieve pain. You don’t have to be Lebron James or Michael Jordan to reap the benefits of this treatment. Massage therapy can help you be your best self in and out of the game.

Whether you play football, basketball, soccer, tennis, or track and field, training can be hard on the body. Most practices last for hours, and they occur at least five days a week. The massaging technique removes waste out of the body, including lactic acid build-up that a lot of athletes suffer from. A massage treats muscle tension and promotes healing of the tissues, muscles, and joints.

Regular massage therapy strengthens the cardiovascular system, which has great benefits for the heart. Massages also serve as a great post-game option because it lowers the heart rate, leaving the player relaxed.

As an athlete, you expect your body to score points, take you from one base to the other, and make slam-dunks. How do you tell your body “thank you”? A Sports Massage, also known as Deep Tissue Massage, will prepare you for peak performance and help your body recover.

Rumor Has It … Massage Myths Explained

Amanda Sullivan Alternative medicine, Blog, Healthy Lifestyle, Massage Service, Massage Therapy, seasonal stress, Zen Massage , , , ,

“Massage is a luxury for the rich and famous.” 

“A massage will help me relax, but if I’m in pain I’ll go to the doctor.” 

“A Swedish Massage is the best massage for me.”

You’ve probably heard or said one of those statements before, but they’re not the full story. It’s time to set the record straight on the three most common myths about massage therapy.

Myth 1:

Massages are a luxury that you can’t afford.

Truth:

Massages are both a luxury and a necessity. If you think about all the other “luxuries” you have each month like hair salons, gym, and nail salons, a massage is probably equal in expenses. A massage is not a luxury for just rich people. Massage treatments are affordable for the stay-at-home mom, the working dad, and even the college student with a part-time job. It’s just up to you to decide how much your well-being is worth.

Myth 2:

A massage is just for relaxation.

Truth:

Relaxation is just one of the many benefits of massage therapy. They are therapeutic and can get to the heart of other problems. Massages have positive emotional, physical, and mental effects. In fact, many people receive massage regularly to relieve pain or to rid their bodies of toxins. Cramps, headaches, back pain, and anxiety are also conditions that a massage can remedy. So, whether you need to relax or relieve pain, massage can get the job done.

Myth 3:

The only massage available is Swedish Massage.

Truth:

Although Swedish massage is the most common massage, there are many other types available. Sports massage, deep tissue, and hot stone massage are just some of the other options available. If you are unsure about which massage is right for you, you can always give us a call at Zen Massage of Salt Lake City (801) 467-3529 and speak with one of our professionals.

So, in conclusion, don’t believe everything you hear when it comes to massage therapy. It’s best to try it for yourself, let our team of Zen Massage Therapists show you the amazing benefits massage brings to your life. Schedule your appointment online or by phone.

5 Reasons To Book A Sports Massage

Amanda Sullivan after workout massage, Educational, Massage Therapy, Sports Injury, Sports Massage, Therapy Sports Injury , , , , ,

There are many reasons to get a Sports Massage. Today’s athletes expect the most out of their bodies. To always perform at maximum efficiency. This can cause serious stress to be put on the body which in turn can cause muscle fatigue and even serious injury.

Sports massage therapy is a specialized massage therapy that identifies the muscle group in need of repair and works to minimize the stress put on the body by aggressive training. At Zen Massage, we help athletes maintain peak efficiency and recovery with targeted sports massage therapy at our Salt Lake City massage studio.

1. Reduce Pain

Soft tissue massage can be used to help reduce pain caused by injury or soreness caused by intensive training. A variety of research demonstrates the positive impact of massage on pain levels when combined with exercises and manual therapy techniques.

2. Release Muscle Tension 

Certain exercises for long periods can create stress on the body, which can create trigger points and tension in the muscles. Having massage regularly helps optimize your tissue’s pliability and increase your range of movement, thereby reducing the risk of injury.

3. Good Posture

Spending every day at work maintaining the same posture and engaging the same muscles over and over again can cause muscles to shorten and pull your joints. Which over time can reduce function and increase your chances of overuse and repetitive strain injuries. Sports massage can help to release these muscles and counteract the negative effects of bad posture.

4. Accelerate Recovery & Improve Training

Ache after training? Massage is a great way to help reduce Delayed Onset Muscle Soreness (DOMS), basically soreness after exercise….massage may help recovery by increasing the blood circulation to the area and help to flush out the toxins that build up during exercise. Resulting in the improvement of recovery and helping you get ready for your next exercise.

5. Relaxing

Though not generally thought of as relaxing, Sports massage does help to reduce general anxiety by releasing tension. As the body releases and reduces physical tension, the mind follows, bringing about a great feeling of well-being and relaxation.

Zen Massage is all about Technique

Amanda Sullivan Healthy Lifestyle, Massage Advantage, Massage Service, Massage Therapy, seasonal stress, Zen Massage , , , , , ,

The ZEN Massage Technique

ZEN Massage is more than a brand. ZEN is a new approach to traditional therapy, refined with sound medical expertise and our knowledge of anatomy, kinesiology, and range of motion.

ZEN is a modern modality, fusing traditional refinement with the advances of modern medicine. But best of all, the ZEN Massage technique feels amazing long after your appointment. The technique is deep and relaxing, providing maximum benefit for the client while minimizing impact and strain on the therapist by applying refined angular kinetics with the proper application of leverage and body weight. We target the “sweet spot” in the muscles with direct pressure and stretching to lengthen and relax them.

The Tandem ZEN

The potential of two therapists working together led us to develop a Tandem ZEN Massage Technique. Unlike traditional 4-hand massage where therapists work on separate parts of the client, Tandem ZEN builds on the collaboration of two therapists working together. Stretching or “opening” the target muscle while applying our technique is very effective at breaking up tension and knots while feeling absolutely incredible!

Benefits of ZEN Massage

After a session at ZEN, your body feels loose, almost like it’s a size too big for you. You might notice that your bed feels particularly comfortable that night, and you might also notice that you didn’t dread the sound of your alarm the next morning. With a good night’s sleep, you’ll notice yourself concentrating better at work, smiling more, and paying attention to details you normally wouldn’t. You have taken a significant step to a healthier, calmer self and we have succeeded in making you feel your best. The next time we see you, we’ll know more about how your body responds to our therapy and we can then fine tune your massage for your body type for maximum effect. You will feel the effects of a ZEN Massage long after you leave. We will make every effort to ensure your good health and will gladly answer any questions you might have about our service or approach.

Today’s athletes expect the most out of their bodies to perform at maximum efficiency. This can cause serious stress to be put on the body which in turn can cause muscle fatigue and even serious injury. Sports massage therapy is a specialized massage therapy that identifies the muscle group in need of repair and works to minimize the stress put on the body by aggressive training. At Zen Massage, we help athletes maintain peak efficiency and recovery with targeted sports massage therapy at our Salt Lake City massage studio.

Sports Massage Therapy for the pros or the weekend warrior

You don’t have to play for the Utah Jazz to receive sports massage therapy in Salt Lake City. At ZEN Massage, our massage therapists can help everyone, including amateur athletes, weekend warriors, and daily joggers.

Reduce sports injuries and get back in the game faster

Frequent injuries and repeated motions can cause chronic pain and restrict your range of motion. If your body isn’t prepared to perform at its peak, you can be sure that you won’t reach the level of performance you desire. Our sports massage methods put emphasis on preventing injury and healing the stressed muscles and tendons by stimulating blood circulation in the affected area. At ZEN Massage, our sports massage therapy addresses the areas of motion which you use frequently to promote faster recovery and flexibility.

Perform at your best

If you are expecting to compete in an event, a preventative, stimulating massage will direct the blood flow to the areas of the body that are going to be used. This ensures that your blood is pumping, your muscles are ready, and you have a full range of motion to compete at your best.

After the big game or an especially grueling workout, there is nothing better for your muscles than a therapeutic sports massage. When you’re working at your best, your muscles are taking the beating of a lifetime. To prevent injury and promote muscle recovery, a post-event sports massage will repair muscles and normalize the body’s tissues.

Rehab from sports injuries

One of the most popular uses for sports massage is for the rehabilitation of a previous injury. Nothing slows you down like chronic pain from an old injury. Our massage therapists work on the injury location as well as on the muscle groups associated with the injury that may be causing additional pain from over-compensation due to the injury.

The massage therapists at ZEN Massage are ready to get you back in playing form. Contact us about our Sports Massage Therapy in Salt Lake City today!

Therapeutic Massage for Seniors

Amanda Sullivan Healthy Lifestyle, Massage Service, Zen Massage , , , , , ,

Therapeutic Massage for Seniors

As we grow older, our bodies tend to start slowing down as we begin to experience some of the pain and stiffness that comes with aging. It may be difficult to stay involved with all the physical activities you enjoy due to chronic conditions like osteoarthritis or ailments like Parkinson’s disease. However, staying physically active is vital for seniors because regular exercise can help improve mobility, flexibility, and even your mental health.

Massage Therapy for Seniors

According to a survey conducted by the American Massage Therapy Association, approximately 9 million people over age 55 had a total of 39 million massages in the last twelve months, mainly for medical purposes. Massage therapy for seniors can be an effective, non-invasive way to help alleviate some of the symptoms of many age-related conditions, especially when used to complement traditional medical services. With regular massage, seniors can experience an improved quality of life, increased energy levels, and feel healthier overall.

Massage therapy offers numerous benefits to the entire body. It helps ease joint and muscle pain, and can even reduce the increased levels of stress that tend to come with aging. The massage techniques utilized for seniors include lighter, gentle stroking and kneading as well as the application of pressure to specific points on the body. Even the most gentle massage has proven effects on the nervous system and blood circulation, two of the most vulnerable systems of the body that feel the effects of aging.

Typically a massage for a senior involves a short session lasting around thirty minutes. Soothing hand motions help improve blood circulation, especially in diabetic feet, and relieve muscle tension while relaxing the body and mind.

Senior Massage Benefits

Massage therapy for seniors has been proven to have positive effects on:

  • Pain due to osteoarthritis. A study showed that seniors who utilized massage as part of their treatment for osteoarthritis had less pain and stiffness and improved physical function over the course of a few months.
  • Sleep habits and quality of sleep. Seniors who receive weekly massages report that they are sleeping more deeply and for longer lengths of time. This results in an overall feeling of better health as the body is being allowed more time to repair itself.
  • Agitation due to Alzheimer’s disease. Studies have shown that slow-stroke back massage on Alzheimer’s patients helps alleviate some of the agitation expressions that come with the disease, like wandering, pacing, and resisting.
  • Alleviating depression. Touch has been proven to provide comfort to the elderly- especially since so many of them are deprived of it- which can help improve mental health.
  • Physical and mental relaxation. Massage has been shown to decrease the unhealthy buildup of cortisol, known as the “stress hormone,” in the body, allowing the body to enter a rest and rejuvenation period.
  • Quicker healing from injuries or illnesses. As we age, our joints and muscles tend to tighten, which can make it more difficult to heal from an injury because our range of motion is restricted. Massage therapy keeps muscles, connective tissues, joints, tendons, and ligaments more fluid and even less injury-prone in the long run.

Try incorporating massage into your healthcare routine to see what benefits and relief you begin to experience yourself. Please consult your Doctor before seeking new treatments and therapies.

Chair Massage

Amanda Sullivan Healthy Lifestyle, Massage Advantage, Massage Service, Massage Therapy, Zen Massage , , , , ,

Chair massage focuses on your neck, shoulders, and back to give you quick relaxation and relief from stress. It can also be used to ease someone in the world of massage.

What is a chair massage?

The massage utilizes light to medium pressure to offer relief. In the session, a person sits on a massage chair, fully clothed. The massage therapist may request you to sit while facing the chair for him/ her to access your back.

The benefits of chair massage include:

  • Reduces stress and anxiety
  • Offers relief from soft tissue and muscle pain.
  • Helps to cure or reduce the intensity of headaches (both chronic headaches and migraines)
  • Gives relief from arthritic pain and carpal tunnel syndrome.
  • Helps to cure body tension and offers relief from fatigue
  • Offers a cure for back, shoulder and neck pain
  • Lowers blood pressure
  • Improved blood circulation to the hands and brain

In addition to lowering stress and increasing productivity, massage can significantly improve employee problem-solving abilities. A recent study in American Psychologist gave one group of workers a 15-minute rest, and another, a 15-minute massage. The group that received the massage performed significantly better on complicated tasks like math problems.

Massage also improves creative thinking and relieves fatigue.

How to choose the best massage therapy for you

There are several considerations however to make before deciding on the type of massage therapy that you should get. The following are the common things to consider:

  • Is it your first time getting a massage or do you frequently get a massage? The Swedish massage is the best massage if you are getting a massage for the first time. However, other types of massages can be used when it’s your first massage.
  • Do you have major pain or minor pain? And where is the pain located?
  • How much time do you have for the massage?
  • Are you comfortable with aromas?
  • The type of muscles targeted/ the area of focus. Some massages like Swedish massage target the superficial muscles whole others like deep tissue massage target the deep-lying muscles, tendons, and joints.
  • Cause of the injury or pain. Pains caused by repeated use of a muscle like in sports are better treated using deep tissue massage or sports massage
  • The end result desired: A Thai massage gives an energy boost and mental stimulation while a Swedish massage gives improved relaxation and sleep.

All of these are things to consider and to speak with your masseur about when booking your appointment.
