What is Therapeutic Massage?
What is Therapeutic Massage?
Therapeutic massage is a combination of the following treatments:*
Deep Tissue Massage - Deeper and slower pressure designed to make lasting change in muscle tension. Pressure levels vary. Recommended for chronic areas of pain and dysfunction.
Trigger Point Therapy - Focused treatment to areas causing and dispersing specific pain and other sensation. Recommended for acute and intermittent areas of pain such as headaches.
Myofascial Release - Gentle stretching of fascia to separate and release adhesions with muscle fibers. Typically used for areas of scar tissue, suspected restriction or excessive pain sensitivity.
Specialized Treatments
TMJ Massage - This work involves a combination of gloved intraoral and extraoral work targeting key muscles that power the jaw including those in the scalp followed by neck and shoulder massage. It may help with clicking and popping but is mainly effective for headaches and jaw pain due to clenching or grinding of teeth and temporomandibular joint dysfunction. The therapist is certified for this specialized treatment.
Tennis Elbow - Pain in the elbow joint can be relentless. and can last for months. Focused treatment to the lateral epicondyle with deep tissue massage and Graston technique can speed the recovery and reduce pain quicker than general massage or physical therapy exercises. Golfer's elbow is similar, but at the medial epicondyle (other side of the elbow joint). Targeted treatment can break up scar tissue and increase mobility for either condition.
Frozen Shoulder - This malady causes searing pain at the top of the shoulder or in the joint itself while raising the arm. The glenohumeral joint can start to crystalize or harden for a time due to a variety of factors. Frozen shoulder can be treated with physical therapy, but massage is a more aggressive treatment therefore speeding the healing process, especially in less-severe cases. Trigger Point therapy on shoulder musculature combined with mobilization can break up the joint stiffness but also treat associated muscles that have become tight as a result.
Plantar Fasciitis – This painful condition is common but treatment options are limited. Fortunately, through the use of a Graston tool in addition to massage of the foot and calf, it is reversable. Inflammation and irritation of fascia has causes that are largely unknown, but with therapeutic massage therapy, measurable pain relief is possible after one session.
