The benefits of BODY SCULPTING MASSAGE

What is cellulite?

Your skin, fat, muscles, and other tissues are in layers. Cellulite is a term used to describe an area of the body where skin has a dimpled appearance. Cellulite is thought to arise when the fibrous bands of connective tissue that anchor the skin to muscles break down, allowing fat cells to push up into the skin layer. This creates the uneven, bumpy texture that gives cellulite its cottage cheese-like appearance.
According to research, 80 to 90 percent of adult women have some cellulite and it’s generally seen on the hips, buttocks, and thighs. It can also occur on the lower belly and upper arms. Cellulite, also called gynoid lipodystrophy, may be more pronounced in people who are overweight or obese, but it occurs in very lean people, too. Everyone has fat cells. While we’re all susceptible to cellulite, some people are more prone to it than others.
What Causes It?

Some factors that increase a person’s likelihood for cellulite include:
Gender: men have connective tissue that lie in a crisscross pattern, and those intersecting bands are good at holding fat cells down. Women, on the other hand, have vertical bands of connective tissue that are more likely to allow fat cells to bulge toward the surface of the skin.
Age: as we get older, skin becomes less elastic and connective tissue bands naturally weaken.
Hormones: particularly the hormone estrogens — appear to play a role in the formation of fat cells and cellulite. This may be another reason why women have more cellulite than men. It may also help explain why cellulite seems to first begin after puberty and sometimes worsens during pregnancy.
Genetics: genes can dictate the distribution of fat cells, skin elasticity, and other factors that influence cellulite.
Diet: according to research, a high-fat, high-salt, high-preservative diet may bring about metabolic disorders that can accelerate cellulite.
Lifestyle: certain lifestyle factors, such as not getting enough exercise and drinking too much alcohol, can affect circulation, inflammation, and the way fat cells are formed and distributed throughout the body.
Massage techniques used and cellulite

In our treatments we use both techniques and we can always add a special essential oils too, to enhance the effectiveness of the session. Please discuss it with your therapist when making your appointment.
Lymphatic drainage massage, a type of massage that uses light pressure to help the lymphatic system drain fluids, debris, and toxins;
Connective tissue manipulation (CTM) - is a type of massage to improve circulation that applies pressure to the ligaments, tendons, and tissues that connect muscle to skin.
Both techniques are effective in decreasing fat and the circumference of the area where the massage is performed.
Things to consider

Cellulite is common, especially in women. Having cellulite doesn’t necessarily mean you’re overweight, unfit, or in any way unhealthy.
While massage will probably make a difference on the appearance of your cellulite, it can offer other health benefits too. It can help you feel more relaxed, reduce tightness and soreness in your muscles, and decrease body pain. Massage may help you look better; definitely it can help you feel better.
If you’re concerned about the appearance of your cellulite, you can also see a dermatologist who can talk to you about other anti-cellulite techniques or even a nutritionist who can advise you on a special meal plan to help reduce and effectively treat cellulite.
Final consideration

Cellulite is completely normal. For most people, it’s not a medical concern but may be concerning in appearance. If you’d like to try massage to treat cellulite, understand its limitations.
Massage isn’t a cure for cellulite but it might improve skin’s appearance and make cellulite less noticeable. Massage does have many health benefits so it may be worth adding to your wellness regimen.
