Massage Therapy Techniques Utilized by Our RMT
Deep Tissue Massage
In this massage technique, Registered Massage Therapists apply slow, forceful strokes of varying pressure to target different groups of deep layered muscles and connective tissues. It’s used to target and treat chronic pain and aches by breaking down muscle knots or adhesions, relieving muscle tension, and breaking up scar tissue. The benefits of deep tissue massage include:
- Reduces muscle inflammation
- Breaks down scar tissue and knots (rigid bands of muscle tissue) in muscles
- Improves circulation to promote faster soft tissue healing
- Alleviates muscle pain due to injuries
- Helps athletes and other individuals recover from injuries
- Improves mobility
- Enhances mood and relieves stress
Sports Massage
Sports massage is a massage therapy tailored to suit the special needs of professional athletes and other active individuals. Athletes are involved in strenuous activities that strain and sometimes overuse their muscles, causing pain and discomfort. Sometimes, their muscles and connective tissues incur injuries, which require fast and effective treatments.
At Push Pounds Sports Medicine, our RMTs specialize in sports massage therapy, and they can help active individuals recover from injuries during their rehab, relieve pain and discomfort, and prevent injuries. Some benefits of sports massage include:
- Improved performance
- Stimulates soft tissue repair
- Helps avert sport-related injuries
- Reduces recovery time after workouts
- Alleviates soft tissue pain caused by strenuous activities
- Improves mobility
Trigger Point Massage
A trigger point is a small, tight nodule (band of muscle fibres) that forms in the muscles due to injuries or overuse. Trigger points are notorious as they tend to irritate the surrounding nerves, causing pain and discomfort. They can also cause referred pain, i.e., pain in other regions of the body. For example, a trigger point in the upper back muscles can cause headaches.
Trigger point massage has the following benefits:
- Improves flexibility and range of motion
- Helps alleviate headaches
- Decreases pain in the musculoskeletal system
- Better posture
- Improves overall performance
- Improves blood circulation
- Faster recovery time after workouts
Swedish Massage
Swedish massage is one of the most commonly performed types of massage therapies. RMTs utilize long slow strokes, vibration, deep pressure, kneading, and tapping to relax your muscles and improve your overall wellbeing. Apart from muscle and connective tissue relaxation, Swedish massages have many health benefits to individuals. These are:
- Swedish massage decreases lactic acid, uric acid, and other metabolic byproducts through improved circulation
- Relaxes muscular and nervous system tension
- Boosts the immune system by increasing the number of lymphocytes
- Increases the level of oxygen in the circulatory system
- Reduces stress by decreasing the levels of cortisol, i.e., the stress hormone
