Sports Massage
Sport and remedial massage techniques
are used in combination with:
•
Muscle Energy Techniques [METs]
•
Soft Tissue Release [STR]
•
Strain-Counterstrain [SCS]
•
Trigger Point Therapy
to treat, detect and prevent soft tissue injury and dysfunction.
Massage helps to both relax and normalise soft tissue function as well as detecting areas of
tension, active trigger points and adhesions. Careful assessment throughout treatment of
muscle length and strength allows for a comprehensive remedial stretching and strengthening
plan to be put together which is both achievable and patient specific.
Massage can be of benefit to anyone and is often used simply to relax tired and aching
muscles and to relieve stress.
Kinesio Taping
Kinesio Taping, utilises a thin, porous cotton fabric tape which when applied correctly will lift the skin to
increase the space between the skin and muscle. The reduced localised pressure helps promote
circulation, lymphatic drainage and lessens the irritation on the subcutaneous neural pain receptors.
The Kinesio Tape Technique can be used as part of a lymphoedema management programme or as part
of an injury and pain management programme.
Kinesio Taping reduces pain, swelling and muscle spasm and subsequently promotes the body's natural
healing processes. Additionally, the built-in stretch of the tape supports fatigued, weakened and/or strained muscles. It is a useful
adjunct to therapy both for lymphoedema and injury.
Kinesio Taping can be used for many soft tissue indications, including:
•
Lymphoedema
•
Sports Injuries
•
Post operative swelling.
•
Tendonitis
•
Muscle strain
•
Ligament sprains
•
Joint Arthrosis
•
Frozen Shoulder [Adhesive Capsulitis}
•
Knee Pain
•
Back Pain
