Orthopedic Massage

Assessment: Orthopedic massage therapists typically conduct thorough assessments of a client’s posture, movement patterns, and any areas of pain or dysfunction. This assessment helps them understand the root cause of the client’s musculoskeletal issues.

Treatment Planning: Based on the assessment findings, orthopedic massage therapists develop customized treatment plans tailored to the individual needs of their clients. These plans may include a variety of massage techniques and modalities to address specific musculoskeletal issues.

Targeted Techniques: Orthopedic massage incorporates techniques, including deep tissue massage, myofascial release, trigger point therapy, and stretching. These techniques are applied with precision to target muscles, tendons, ligaments, and other soft tissues affected by injury or dysfunction.

Pain Relief: One of the primary goals of orthopedic massage is to relieve pain and discomfort associated with musculoskeletal conditions such as chronic pain, sports injuries, postural imbalances, and repetitive strain injuries.

Improved Range of Motion: Orthopedic massage techniques can help improve flexibility, mobility, and range of motion by releasing tension, breaking up adhesions, and restoring optimal function to muscles and joints.

Rehabilitation: Orthopedic massage plays a crucial role in the rehabilitation process for individuals recovering from injuries or surgeries. It can help speed the healing process, reduce scar tissue formation, and restore normal movement patterns.

Postural Correction: Orthopedic massage therapists often work with clients to correct postural imbalances and alignment issues contributing to musculoskeletal pain and dysfunction. This may involve manual therapy, corrective exercises, and ergonomic recommendations.
