HOW ARE CLINICAL AND REGULAR MASSAGE DIFFERENT?
The clinical massage therapist uses very specific procedures to benefit your specific dysfunctions.
WHAT TYPE OF DYSFUNCTIONS
RESPOND TO CLINIC MASSAGE?
Pain and/or physiological dysfunction originating from identifiable points within muscles and their
fascial tissues. These locations are known as trigger points because they often trigger distant reactions.
WHAT ARE THE PROCEDURES USED IN CLINICAL MASSAGE?
Most
of these procedures will involve releasing the body from a dysfunctional holding pattern that has developed as the result
of the client’s accommodating to a recent or old injury or misuse. Among these procedures are:
Neuromuscular
/ Myofascial Therapy—a method of carefully searching for and treating ischemic locations and the trigger points that
are often the key factors in chronic and severe pain. This type of therapy is widely acclaimed and extremely successful in
pain relief.
Positional Release is a release wherein
the dysfunctional part is placed in a position of complete, pain-free relaxation and allowed to normalize its function during
a 90 second period of neuromuscular reorganization.
Isometric Muscle Release—gently
facilitate joint movement to assist a muscle in regaining a normal, relaxed length. The client actively participates.
WHO CAN BENEFIT FROM CLINICAL MASSAGE THERAPY?
The procedures described are helpful for an incredible number of symptoms that arise when musculoskeletal
problems exist.
Any chronic muscle or joint pain.
A known condition of referred pain, such as "when my neck gets tense I get a headache."
Tight muscles that are limiting the mobility of a joint.
Chronically fatigued muscles.
Decrease energy level, overly tight muscles, tend to harbor myofasical
trigger points, and cause stress on the muscles that oppose them and the joints that they cross.
