 Medical Professionals
Massage by Design provides highly trained clinical massage therapists that work within your treatment plan to address a wide range of pathologies and injuries such as osteoporosis, scoliosis, degenerative joint disease, carpal tunnel, sprains and strains, rotator cuff injuries and whiplash just to name a few. Medical Professionals across the country have been finding out the benefits of adding massage therapy to their primary care program. Studies have proven that patient recovery is faster and more complete when healthcare professionals address multiple components of pain.
Soft tissue is important.
Addressing soft tissue problems is an important complement to a medical professional's treatment plan. This is because muscles move joints, while ligaments and fascia support them. If a joint is adjusted without addressing related soft tissue problems, patients may still experience pain. In addition, a patients tight muscles and shortened fascia can prolong the healing process and cause a joint complex to heal in a tightened and stiff state.
Soft tissue irritation and guarding can actually spread because it causes protective muscle tightening in surrounding areas. Over time, tight, inflamed muscles and fascia (together called myofascia) suffer poor circulation and can develop glue-like myofascial adhesions, which prevent muscles from lengthening completely. Painful trigger points can also develop, often referring pain or tingling to other areas in the body. In extreme cases, tight muscles can compress nerves or blood vessels.
Massage Therapy assists in the healing process
Medical Professionals can benefit from adding massage therapy to their primary care program. Recovery is normally faster and more complete when multiple components of pain are addressed. Chiropractic treatment often proceeds more easily, with less discomfort, when soft tissue has been relaxed with massage. Patients may be less anxious and more ready to receive chiropractic adjustment after a relaxing massage has been administered which will have a better effect on the recovery process.
