A quality massage
therapist will have an array of massage tools and techniques to assist
you. These massage techniques can include the following:
Longitudinal Gliding
Longitudinal gliding is a basic but
effective massage technique administered in the direction of the
blood flow. It aids the fluid dispersion from the injury site, and thus helps
reduce inflammation and swelling. It is also very useful in
relaxing tight muscles.
Massage
Massage can be performed in different ways and is described by the part
of a hand used to accomplish the massage, eg thumb kneading and palm kneading.
The pressure used must vary according to the purpose of the massage and
the bulk of the tissues under treatment. The rhythm and rate of the movement
are equally important as the pressure is applied intermittently.
Myofascial Releases
Myofascial release is manual technique for stretching the fascia with the aim to balance the body.
Fascia is located between the skin and the underlying structure of muscle and
bone, it is a seamless web of connective tissue that covers and connects the
muscles, organs, and skeletal structures in our body. Injuries, stress, trauma,
and poor posture can cause restriction to fascia, and the goal of myofascial
release is to release fascia restriction and restore its tissue.
Trigger
Point Therapy
Trigger point therapy is a bodywork
technique that involves the applying of pressure to tender muscle tissue in
order to relieve pain and dysfunction in other parts of the body. Trigger
points are active centres of muscular
hyperactivity, which often cross-over with acupuncture points. You will also
find that your muscular "knots" are commonly trigger points.
Deep
Transverse Frictions
Transverse friction is a
transverse connective tissue therapy applied directly by the fingers.
Transverse frictions use an oscillating pressure applied across the direction
of the tissue fibres. This technique is
used mainly on tendon or ligament injuries to help break down thickened,
pain-producing scar tissue. If these lesions are not reduced then they are
likely to cause further irritation, and degenerate more quickly than they
should.
Compression
Massage
Rhythmic compression into muscles
used to create a deep hyperaemia and softening effect in the tissues. It is
generally used as a warm-up for deeper, more specific massage work. Sports
massage utilises compression massage.
Cross-Fibre
Massage
Cross-fibre friction
techniques applied in a general
manner to create a stretching and broadening effect in large muscle groups; or
on site-specific muscle and connective tissue, deep transverse friction applied
to reduce adhesions and to help create strong, flexible repair during the
healing process. For more
