HOW WILL MASSAGE THERAPY HELP?
Therapeuticmassage can be extremely beneficial for those experiencing aches and pains. Some of themost common types of massage include: Swedish massage. This type of massage relaxes any stiff or tense muscles you may have, allowing for increased blood flow and fluid to drain from swollen areas. Deep tissue massage. This type of massage loosens up your muscles and their connective tissues. Myofascial release. This type of massage creates room for tissues that may be trapped by distortions or fascial adhesions, freeing them from constriction. Other types of massage that we offer include: • Trigger point therapy • Reflexology • Shiatsu • Sports massage • Relaxation
Therapeutic massage promotes tissue healing, so you can get back to your sport of choice as quickly as possible. By working to mobilize, loosen, and relax these muscles, you can help your muscles stay limber. This will decrease your risk of strains, sprains, and ruptures. Sports massage therapy can also be used before you even begin your rigorous exercise regimen, targeting the specific muscles and tissues that see the most use for your sport. We also offer aromatherapy & deep tissue warming and cooling therapies to add on to your massage experience.

WHAT PATIENTS ARE SAYING! Decreased stiffness is another welcome result many patients experience. By helping to improve circulation, especially of blood and lymphatic fluids, internal scar tissue is also broken up. This improves flexibility for the patient, as well as creates a greater range of motion. How do physical therapists perform cupping? There are two main types of cupping therapy -- wet and dry. Dry cupping solely relies on the suction action of the cups, whereas wet cupping starts with an additional step, in which the practitioner makes tiny incisions at the cupping site before the cup is placed over it, to further draw out blood. What should I do if I’m interested? In terms of physical therapy, cupping is generally used in conjunction with other treatments to help alleviate pain. Neck pain, lower back pain and migraines are among the conditions for which patients have reported favorable results. IS CUPPING THERAPY RIGHT FOR YOU? What is cupping therapy? Eastern and Middle Eastern cultures have relied on cupping therapy for thousands of years, but it’s only through popular culture moments such as the televised Olympics, that Westerners have been introduced to the ancient medical practice now popular with athletes, among others. As the name suggests, “cupping” involves placing several cups over strategic points on the body. Traditionally, suction was created when the practitioner lit a fire inside the cup to warm it, and then placed it on the patient’s skin to cool, but modern versions also exist. The resulting suction redirects circulation, allowing blood and other fluids to flow to areas in need of healing. What conditions can cupping therapy treat? Because proper circulation is a key component of treating so many conditions, it’s not surprising that cupping is used as complementary therapy for a wide range of health issues, from acne to high blood pressure and depression. Our physical therapists are highly trained in modern cupping techniques, but it’s always wise to consult your primary physician if you have reservations. The risk of adverse effects from cupping has proven to be low in numerous studies. But if you have excessive bruising issues or are on blood thinners, some cupping methods may not be right for you. Call us today to learn more about our modern cupping treatment methods, and how we integrate them to complement our other physical therapy treatments, in order to help you conquer your pain and mobility issues.
