Are you looking for a Portland massage therapist? Holistic Portland Massage in Portland Oregon offers one of the best massages in town.  Jonathan Prue, LMT has been building his clientele over the past several years in Portland, and has a long list of relaxed and happy customers.  Jonathan offers a unique approach towards massage:  instead of giving everyone the same cookie cutter massage, he listens to your body and uses his intuitive nature and experience to design a massage that will work best for you.  This means your therapeutic Portland massage will always leave you feeling relaxed and renewed, with a greater sense of peace and more range of movement from releasing tight knots of tension and letting go of stress.

Satisfied customers say that a massage therapy appointment with Jonathan is akin to therapy – a necessary routine where you take the time to tend to your body and spirit and manage your stress in a holistic, healthy way.   We are all so rushed and have so many commitments that we forget to take time out for ourselves and just unplug for a while.  A regular massage can be a healthy way to do this and can serve as a wonderful addition to your holistic health regimen.   Jonathan offers massage discounts for clients who purchase massage packages, and of course he has the best new client massage offer in Portland – a free Portland massage or upgrade to an hour for only $20!  This is his way of giving everyone an affordable opportunity to experience the healing benefits of massage.  Hopefully, after your first appointment, you will become a regular client, too!

Portland Massage Therapists offer several different styles of massage in many different settings, from luxurious Portland massage spas, to bare bones settings.  At Holistic Portland Massage, the primary focus is on you:  giving you a massage tailored to your body’s signals, designed to make you feel better, each and every time.  Massages are offered at the Tint Salon and Spa location in NE Portland in the Hollywood neighborhood.  Housed in an old Portland bungalow, Holistic Portland Massage is located upstairs where you will get your massage in the “tree house room”, a quiet space with wood floors, surrounded with windows up in the tree canopy.  Relaxing soft music or ambient noise will help lull you into a state of relaxation as your massage therapy session begins.  If desired, aromatherapy massage oils can be added to enhance the experience.   It is a great space and you will get a wonderful massage.  There are more expensive places to get a massage in town, but the massage experience at Holistic Portland Massage is one of the best, and the highest quality, each and every time.

What to Know to be Prepared for your Portland Massage Therapy Session

Just let Jonathan know if you want your massage customized in any way to work on certain problem area such as a tight neck or sore shoulders, and tell him how much pressure you feel comfortable with.  As one of Portland’s best deep tissue massage therapists, you won’t get a wimpy massage – he will get those tough knots out and loosen up the tension!  If you want more or less pressure, just let him know.

Knots are also called myofascial trigger points, and they are those knots in your back or neck that seems to be locked up and producing pain or limited range of movement.  A deep tissue massage can help to release the tight muscle spasm that is producing the knot.  Working out a particularly tight knot can be a little uncomfortable and leave you a little sore the next day, but you will feel so much better once the muscle has relaxed and pent up toxins have left your body.  Always drink lots of water after your massage session to facilitate flushing the released toxins from your body, so they don’t just pool up again and leave you feeling lousy.  People who get a therapeutic massage and then complain of feeling slightly ill the next day probably forgot to drink lots of water.

Portland Massage Therapist Qualifications

Jonathan Prue has been educated at the renowned East West College of Healing Arts and is a member of several professional massage organizations.  As a professional licensed massage therapist in the State of Oregon (LMT #11061), he is required to take ongoing education and continually updates his massage practice with new skills to improve your massage experience.  Visit the “About” Portland Massage Therapist page to read Jonathan’s personal mission and outlook towards healing massage.  Also read some client reviews about Holistic Portland Massage on Yelp.com.

A Portland relaxation massage is by far one of the most popular services at Holistic Portland Massage.  Everyone needs to relax and de-stress, and one of the most effective ways you can do that is to get a massage.  So what is a relaxation massage?  Usually, it is a combination of deep tissue work to remove knots, combined with Swedish massage to gently warm up your muscles in a relaxing series of repetitive motions that eases the tension out of your body.  The overall experience will leave you feeling more relaxed and at peace.

Taking time for yourself is one healthy way you can manage stress and anxiety in your life.  Make your personal health and well being a priority.  A regular massage appointment gives you time alone to relax and care for your mind and body.  The massage itself will produce a relaxed and euphoric state of mind, and this will help quell any feelings of anxiety.   As your pulse slows and you relax in a quiet room with the skilled hands of the therapist working the kinks out, you will feel at ease.

Benefits of Portland Relaxation Massage:

• Stress management
• Relief from tension headaches
• Improved blood circulation
• Removal of toxins
• Improved range of movement
• Reduced anxiety
  

In these busy times, we often forget to take care of ourselves.  Make yourself  and your health a high priority.  Why not make a regular massage a part of your routine?  Holistic Portland Massage offers discounted relaxation massage therapy sessions when you purchase massages by the package.  Many of my clients have been regulars for years and they swear by it, and how important a regular massage is in their regimen of good health and stress management.  You will receive your massage in a relaxing room, and aromatherapy can be used at your request to enhance your massage experience.

Holistic Portland Massage is located in a peaceful room, upstairs at Tint Salon and Spa.  Your Portland massage spa setting is a quiet, relaxing space where you can forget your troubles.

Fibromyalgia refers to a condition of unknown origin that induces widespread muscular and joint pain.  This pain also emanates from tendons and ligaments.  This muscular pain is often accompanied by the inability to sleep soundly as well as feelings of exhaustion.  The term fibromyalgia is a relatively recent one.  The condition used to be known as soft tissue rheumatism, fibrositis and non-articular rheumatism.
It is estimated that fibromyalgia affects 4% of all people.  Women are four times as likely to get fibromyalgia as men.  It is most common amongst women and men over 50 years old.  As people age, they’re more likely to get fibromyalgia.  Here’s a list of symptoms associated with the condition:

• Stiffness and pain in the muscles and joints
• Total body pains
• Insomnia
• Chronic fatigue syndrome
• Muscle and joint numbness
• Memory failure
• Inability to concentrate
• Tension headaches
• Migraine headaches
• Depression
• temperomandibular joint dysfunction (TMJ)
• Dryness of the eyes
• Shivering and the inability to withstand cold temperatures
• Sensitivities to foods, medicines and allergens
• Irritable bowel and bladder

Looking at this list of symptoms, it is clear that fibromyalgia is a serious condition that demands regular and effective treatment.  Massage therapy techniques, applied by a licensed massage therapist (LMT), are greatly instrumental in the management of fibromyalgia symptoms.  Massage for fibromyalgia enhances the health of the entire receiving organism in a holistic fashion.  By increasing the circulation of blood, oxygen and nutrients are more efficiently delivered throughout all of the systems of the body.

When people have fibromyalgia, they hurt.  When they hurt, they avoid physical activity.  When they avoid physical activity, their muscles weaken which accentuates the cycle.  When you add to that the fact that they often can’t sleep at night, it’s easy to see why many sufferers have a hard time enjoying any of life’s activities.  The inability to participate in life can lead to an onset of depression.  It can be a frustrating, vicious cycle, and you need to do as much as you can to fight back and live a healthy and balanced life.

Benefits of Fibromyalgia Massage

Massage therapy techniques are designed and implemented specifically to increase the well being of the clients.  Take a look at this a list of just some of the miraculous benefits that directly result from regular massage:

• Increased blood flow that brings about increased oxygen and nutrient delivery to cellular structures throughout the body
• Alleviation of pain in the muscles and joints
• Accelerated healing of sore muscles, tendons and ligaments
• The release of stress-related tension
• Allows the brain to escape the worries and stressors of everyday life
• Puts the mind in touch with the body on both physical and emotional levels
• Induces relaxation and peacefulness
• Enhances digestive ability
• Increases serotonin levels
• Decreases the release of disease-causing, stress-related hormones

Helpful Fibromyalgia Tips

• A gentle exercise regimen can help.  Try yoga, pilates, or regular stretching.
• Be sure to drink adequate water (8-10 glasses a day)
• Some evidence suggests Omega 3 fatty acids (fish oil supplements) might help naturally reduce cellular inflammation
• Make your relaxation and well-being a priority.  Of course a regular massage can help you relax, and offers several other health benefits.
• If you have severe symptoms, please see your physician.  Your body needs adequate rest, and if you aren’t sleeping you can become chronically exhausted.

Unfortunately, there is no known cause or cure for fibromyalgia.  However, many leading world health organizations are in agreement that as much as 80% of all diseases are stress-related.  They all agree that an effective pain management strategy is the best course of action for dealing with symptoms of fibromyalgia.  Massage therapy increases your well being.  An increase in your well being results in decreased stress levels.  You have to take control of your fibromyalgia symptoms.  Take the first step in getting back control of your own life today.

Appointment for Portland Fibromyalgia Massage

Contact Jonathan Prue, LMT at Holistic Portland Massage for a relaxing massage for fibromyalgia.   You can book online, or call 503-753-2233 if you have any questions about fibromyalgia massage and what to expect.  Be sure to tell Jonathan that you have fibromyalgia, and communicate about the level of pressure that is comfortable for you.  There is nothing wrong with asking for more or less pressure to fine tune the massage to what your body signals are telling you.

Massage for arthritis can be beneficial in relieving pain, assisting with flexibility, and helping you relax.

Arthritis in its differing forms affects millions of people. The Arthritis foundation reports that ” 27 million Americans live with osteoarthritis, and 1.4 million Americans live with rheumatoid arthritis.”  And according to the Center for Disease Control (CDC), arthritis is the nation’s most
prevalent cause of disability. Although the chance of getting arthritis increases with age, more than 2/3 of arthritis patients are under the age of 65.

Arthritis is a disease that does not discriminate regarding race or ethnic groups. However, more women have arthritis than men. Arthritis is a general term that refers to over 100 different diseases and conditions.

Here are some of the most common types:

• Osteoarthritis
  
• Rheumatoid arthritis
• Gout
• Juvenile rheumatoid arthritis
• Fibromyalgia
• Systemic lupus

Regardless of the classification of arthritis, all types of the disease commonly exhibit symptoms such as joint pain, inflammation, stiffness, decreased mobility, fatigue, weight loss and anemia. Arthritis can also affect the performance of the heart, eyes and lungs. Osteoarthritis is the most common form. Cartilage in the joints disintegrates. The synovial joints are broken down. Rheumatoid arthritis is also very common. Tissues and membranes – including cartilage and synovial fluids – lining the joints become inflamed. As a result, the inflamed tissue develops antibodies. Over time, this will destroy the components of the joint.

Glucosamine and chondroitin sulfate are produced within the body. They act like anti-inflammatory drugs and can help to alleviate the  symptoms of arthritis. Engaging in a program of regular massage therapy for arthritis increases the natural production of these chemicals.
Popular anti-inflammatory drugs are available, but sometime present an array of adverse side effects. Massage therapy is a drug-free treatment that may be a good alternative or complementary therapy.

Massage Therapy for Arthritis – How it can Help

All people who suffer from arthritis have one thing in common at least: they hurt. So what are some of the ways a massage for arthritis can help?

The Arthritis Foundation provides this information about managing pain:

Pain Factors
(from the Arthritis Foundation)

What can make your pain feel worse?

• Increased disease activity

• Stress

• Overdoing physical activity

• Focusing on pain

• Fatigue

• Anxiety

• Depression

What can help block pain signals?

• Positive attitude and pleasant thoughts

• Appropriate exercise

• Relaxation

• Medications

• Massage

• Distraction

• Topical pain relievers

• Humor

• Heat and cold treatments
  

A full-body massage for arthritis is both relaxing and soothing. Licensed massage therapists (LMTs) use their fingers, hands, forearms and elbows to deliver a series of strokes, rubs, taps, pulls and other manual manipulation techniques. This results and pain reduction, tension release, increased blood flow, increased oxygen and nutrient delivery, a euphoric sense of well-being, increased production of natural healing chemicals and a general increase in the health and happiness.

As with many debilitating diseases, arthritis makes those afflicted hesitant to participate in life’s activities. Non-participation in common activities weakens the muscles, tendons, ligaments and joints further. The pain increases and many times general lethargy sets in. This causes an imbalance in all of the body’s systems. Chemicals get out of whack and sometimes depression sets in. The individual experiences a chronic loss of interest and motivation.

Massage therapy for arthritis encourages the body’s natural defense mechanisms to engage. Chemical imbalances can be lessened or reversed. The healing of sore muscles and joints is accelerated. After a full-body arthritis massage, the individual is left feeling invigorated and more capable. Because they feel better, they are once again able to participate in life. This in turn may help to reverse the effects
of depression that can come from suffering with any chronic illness.

If you suffer from symptoms of arthritis, you have to take control of your own pain management regimen. Taking drugs can mask the pain. However, drug use can have undesired side effects. Massage therapy for arthritis is one complementary therapy that may help you feel better. There are no harmful side effects.

Remember, your health and well being is the top priority.  Always consult with your healthcare professional for diagnosis and treatment if you are suffering from frequent stiff and painful joints, or inflammation. Massage has many benefits and can definitely help you feel better but is not a substitute or replacement for medical treatment of arthritis.
