Medical Massage Therapy Buffalo NY
The purpose of medical massage is to deal with any dysfunctional areas or problems in the soft tissues of the body. It is intended for clients who are recovering from injuries or surgical procedures and need muscle rehabilitation. Doctors will inform the client if he or she could benefit from massage therapy as it is often used to help speed healing and recovery. Medical massage is used to improve the general wellbeing of the client.
Each session typically lasts between 30-50 minutes. The number of treatments needed vary depending on the muscular problem, its location, how long it's been present and the patients healing process.
Medical massage helps promote healthy movement and functioning of the newly healed area of the body while also preventing further injuries from occurring, alleviate pain and return muscle function and increase range of motion.
During a session, the soft tissues of the body are manually manipulated using various hand techniques, soft tissue massage, active and passive stretching, range of motion techniques, and possibly the use of other therapeutic modalities in support such as hot or cold therapy, connective tissue massage, neuromuscular therapy, trigger point or friction techniques, myofascial release, lymphatic drainage, etc.
Combination of therapies will depend on the specific client and their individual needs. Medical massage and home exercises will further enhance recovery to good health and fitness lifestyles.
