Orthopedic Massage(cont'd)
When doing soft tissue mobilization and myofascial release, the therapist will work each muscle in the particular direction needed in order to correct the positional dysfunction that is creating pain.  For example, when the big muscles along the spine in the back, the erectors, become very tight, they also shorten, moving closer to the spine itself. Using Orthopedic Massage techniques, the therapist would work to release this dysfunction by moving the muscle gently away from the spine, freeing up the joints to move in a wider range of motion, without pain. Often after a treatment, clients will report feeling "lighter" as the joints no longer having irregular compressive forces on them, allowing them to feel more free.

Along with work on the table, it is often very helpful to have the therapist work with the client on stretches and exercises that can be done at home or at work in order to help the client strengthen and release the muscles around the tight and painful joints. In order to truly get all the benefit possible out of your treatment time, home exercises and stretches are a must. The client needs to be actively involved in their own recovery, reversing the affects of poor posture or repetitive stresses created in the work environment. The combination of MET and home stretching/strengthening is the core of the neuromuscular reeducation. If you have an injury or chronic pain in any joint or muscle, caused by an accident, or repetitive stresses, please call us to schedule an initial evaluation and a series of treatments to relieve yourself of these pains.

 

This is NOT for everyone. It takes work on your part... However, When you are ready to get out of pain AND increase your function - call us!
