| Therapeutic
Massage - Treats Injuries |
|
A
specific trauma
-such as motor vehicle
accident, athletic injury,
etc.
Overuse
-such as occupational injury,
tendonitis, repetitive strain,
etc.
Situations which develop over
time
-such as headaches, arthritis,
Fibromyalgia, etc.
Post surgical conditions
-such as hip or knee
replacement, muscle or tendon
surgery, etc.
In
response to these conditions
Massage Therapists have
expanded their role in
preventative and
rehabilitative expertise and
have adapted their techniques
to assist a wide variety of
ailments. Massage Therapists
will combine their assessment
skills and physiological
knowledge along with an
integration of their personal
experience to provide the
patient with effective care
and treatment. Massage
Therapists will further
educate patients in the proper
postural procedures and
harmful repetitive strain
patterns and will suggest
remedial exercises to assist
in the prevention and
treatment of certain
conditions. Massage Therapy is
a hands-on approach which
affects all of the systems of
the body, more specifically
the muscular, circulatory and
nervous systems which help to
relax the muscles. When
muscles are loose and
circulation is efficient there
is less pain, a decreased
chance of injury or
dysfunction and better health
results. |
