Clinical Sports and Remedial Massage
What
is Remedial Massage?
The
application of deep tissue massage and manipulation for pre-event
and post-event treatment is very beneficial indeed and great care
should be taken to ensure that the practitioner is sensitive and
sympathetic to the nature of the client's lifestyle as well as their
history of sports and previous experiences of injury and recovery.
The
treatment always begins with a full personal assessment and detailed
lifestyle and health analysis. Physical examination along with muscle
testing is carried out and at treatment plan formulated.
A
wide range of appropriate manipulative techniques are employed along
with gentle, soothing massage to assist the healing process, tone
and condition muscles, help to assist pain reduction and maximise
painless joint mobility,
A
follow-up and home exercise programme will be put together and the
client's progress will be closely monitored to ensure that everything
possible is being carried out to arrive at the desired outcome.
Sports
and remedial massage therapies are very beneficial for anyone who
suffers from muscular and joint injuries either through athletics/sports
or exercise, or possibly through repetitive strain incurred at work.
The level of massage is generally more vigorous than that used in
Swedish Massage and the manipulative techniques and mobility exercises.
