Massage Wollongong
ADAM JARRETT
If your training for your sport or personal fitness and don't have a rest and recovery regime it's only a matter of time before you sustain an injury, take a look at professional athletes, they self massage, have massage, stretch, and even have there partners massage them to release tension. Once you have an injury if it's not managed properly in rehab stage the area becomes weak and wont recover to full strength creating pain & dysfunction, causing a domino affect through the body. I'd like to point out that massage is not just for for active people, there are painful conditions in this century that affect office workers and people from all walks of life, for example being stuck in front of computers all day, this places pressure on your inert structures (ligaments, Disc) causing postural changes manifesting into tension headaches, shoulder impingement, lumbar pain, hip dysfunction and many other problems.
Soft Tissue Therapy incorporates a whole range of techniques in a clinical setting these include:
- Myofascial Dry Needling - used to release the bodys own pain killers.
- Trigger Point Therapy - placing pressure for 30sec to release pain.
- Myofascial Release - deep flat hand pressure affecting structural release.
- PNF Stretching - push, hold, release method inducing greater range.
- Stretching - simply finding the benefits & empowering the client to do @ home.
- Postural Assessment & Correction
- Rehabilitation Exercise
- Remedial Massage - specific treatment usually limited to the affected area.
- Relaxation Massage - more Swedish relaxation technique.
"Trigger Points are among the most common, yet poorly recognized and inadequately managed, causes of musculoskeletal pain seen in medical practice."
Ex White House Physician Janet Travell 1976.
All the GP's at Helensburgh Family Practice recognize these pain referrals.
