Physical Relief Through Massage for Separated Men
The high stress levels caused by divorce or separation can have a devastating physical effect on a newly single man. Stress can be held onto typically in the buttocks and more so in the shoulders. These two sets of muscles are prone to tension because they are most often in motion. Buttocks are either being sat on of being used whenever your legs are in use. Your glutinous maximus is in fact the biggest muscle in the body. You can end up with buttock tension turning into aches and pains. Massage can help as it is renowned for releasing muscle tension and relaxing muscles. Shoulders too are constantly under pressure. They are in use when sat at a working at a computer desk, walking and also when driving. Hagberg el al (2003) tells us that if you have perceived muscular strain then you use your trapezius muscles more during computer work. Also, when suffering high emotional stress with divorce, you tend to lift your shoulders higher, causing even more tension in them. As we use these muscles so often it makes them the go to area for storing stress. Through many tried and tested targeted massage strokes muscle tension can be relieved and painful discomfort can be relaxed.
Types of Massage Suitable for Divorced Men
Navigating the emotional, stressful aftermath of divorce can make for a complex journey. So, choosing the correct style of massage can be crucial in addressing both your physical and emotional well-being needs right now.
- Swedish massage is very relaxing overall. It uses long, gentle strokes all over the body usually with warm oil as a lubricant. Your therapist will use the correct amount, to get the right amount of both grip and slip to sooth your muscles. This is often a good choice due to heightened stress levels that come with divorce.
- Deep tissue massage strokes can be used when you have specific muscle groups that are in greater tension than others. The tissues are warmed up with Swedish strokes. Then your therapist uses an asymmetric stance to slowly apply his body weight via a triangle (legs > angled back > angled arm) to your tight warmed muscles. This slow focus of deep pressure can help with aches and pains as well as remove muscle knots that appear at stressful times.
- Hot stone massage can be the ultimate in relaxation which is perfect in times of emotional tension like a separation or divorce. There is a excess of oil used to make sure the warm lava stones slip over you easily. The pressure used help to remove tension as well. Just imagine how having a warm hot water bottle slid all over your by a professional might feel. Yes, it can be that good.
- Aromatherapy massage for divorced men adds the further dimension of essential oils into your soothing treatment. Your sense of smell is a very powerful tool that should be embraced for the purposes of relaxation. Once you have tried it your olfactory (smell) memory will drive you deeper into relaxation each time. You know when you pass by a restaurant that you can smell cooking one your favourite dishes (steak, bacon, curry)? Your olfactory memory makes your mouth water. Exactly the same can happen once you experience a good, scented oil during your relaxation treatment. All you do is smell it again the next time you get treated and ahhhh … you relax again. The perfect choice when you are emotional and stressed out by life.
- Each one of these massage styles offer unique benefits, catering to your personal needs and preferences. It’s all personalised just for you each time. You might be wanting to simply unwind with Swedish massage, target specific aches and tightness with deep tissue techniques or enhance your low mood with aromatherapy. Any massage style you incorporate into your busy, stressful, routine provides you with personalised well-being support during the challenging period following a divorce.
