Massage Types
Remedial
As the name suggests, remedy of various physical conditions such as:
Musculoskeletal injuries such as: scar tissue, sprains, strains, whiplash.
Overuse injuries: Plantar fasciitis, compartment syndrome(Shin Splints), tendinitis, bursitis, frozen shoulder.
Conditions affecting head and neck: torticollis, tension headaches, migraines.
Postural dysfunctions: Plantar Fasciitis, Iliotibial Band contracture, patellofemoral syndrome, hyperlordosis, hyperkyphosis, scoliosis
Joint dysfunctions: Hyper or hypomobility, temporomandibular joint dysfunction, degenerative disc disease, osteoarthritis. Assessing and treating postural dysfunction to alleviate joint aggravation.
Conditions of the Central Nervous System: Hemiplegia, MS, Parkinsons, Cerebral Palsy, Poliomyelitis. Helping improve function and mobility.
Conditions of the Peripheral Nervous System: Thoracic outlet syndrome, piriformis syndrome, Sciatica.
Respiratory Pathologies: Sinusitis, chronic Bronchitis, Emphysema, Asthma.
CIrculatory Pathologies: Hypertension. Relaxation response to decrease stress.
Gastrointestinal Concerns: Constipation, Irritable Bowel Syndrome
Remedial Techniques include:
Trigger point Therapy
Myofascial Release
Joint mobilization. Treating the skeletal system
Nerve mobilization. Freeing Nerve movement
PNF assisted stretching
Taping: Supporting damaged structures to facilitate healing.
Sports
Pre and Post event treatment,
muscular balance for maximal efficiency, injury treatment and prevention.
Lymphatic Drainage
Techniques to assist the Lymphatic Drainage throughout the body when this system is not working optimally.
This can be from a number of reasons:
Being immobile from an injury or less able bodied
Lymph gland surgical removal or damage
Immune dysfunctions.
Shiatsu
Looking at organ system imbalances in the context of Chinese Medicine.
Effective use of active and passive stretches, trigger point therapy (Tsubo), Pin and stretch techniques, to name a few ways in which a shiatsu massage engages whole lines of muscle and fascia to correct dysfunctional patterns.
Cupping
I use cupping to make effective use of time by placing cups on areas of the body whilst massaging another section. This means your body is treated in two areas at the same time to maximise time on the table.
