The Truth About Deep Tissue Manipulation Therapy New Orleans

By Linda Ruiz


Nawlins, NOLA, the Big Easy, the City that Care Forgot, is the capital of the southern state of Louisiana. In addition to Mardi Gras, jazz, creole architecture and Hurricane Katrina, the city is famous for sports. Not only does the city have representatives in two out of four major sports leagues (football and basketball), it also fields a woman's football team, and a flat track women's roller derby team. This major enthusiasm for physically active pastimes translates into a huge need for deep tissue manipulation therapy New Orleans.

The NFL football team ran into a lean spell in the 1980s. Thousands of fans were seen at televised games wearing paper bags over their head so that nobody could recognize them. By 2009, the team finally redeemed itself by bringing home the Super Bowl trophy. Feasibility studies are currently under way to see if NOLA is a suitable venue for a major league soccer team.

The local NBA basketball team is called the Pelicans. The team was forced to leave the city temporary after the city was severely damaged by Hurricane Katrina in 2005. They made it home in time for the 2007-2008 season.

The city also supports an Arena League football team called the Pelicans. The team plays in white and blue uniforms with a dash of red on each shoulder. The mascots are named Bones and Mojo, while the cheerleaders are affectionately referred to as the Voo Doo Dolls.

Nawlins is a popular landing spot for hurricanes. Hurricane Katrina, a deadly Category 5 storm, slammed into the city on August 29, 2005. Eighty percent of the city was under water in the resulting floods. Hurricane Katrina is one of the five deadliest hurricanes to make landfall in the United States and the seventh most intense Atlantic storm on record. One month later, Hurricane Rita hampered rescue and recovery efforts.

On the fun side, NOLAns celebrate Mardi Gras every year on Shrove Tuesday, the day before the commencement of Lent, which occurs on the following Wednesday. The French name of the giant street party translates into "Fat Tuesday, " in respect of the consuming of rich foods in preparation for the upcoming 40-day fast.

Deep tissue massage is a form of therapy that concentrates on reaching the deep layers of muscle and connective tissue. It is most often used for people with chronic aches and pains. The treatment realigns the deeper tissues in the lower and upper back, shoulders and leg muscles. Many of the same strokes that are used in conventional massage therapy are used in this specialized form of manipulation therapy.

The problem with ignoring stiff muscles is that the resultant toxins build up a significant inflammatory response that causes pain and stress. You don't necessarily need to have a sports injury in order to benefit from this approach. Normal wear and tear, bad posture and external stress can be enough to set up the conditions for damaging inflammation. Don't think of deep tissue massage as a treat, think of it as a regular tune-up that keeps you at peak performance.
