Repair Style Massage Services

Regardless of the type of massage you receive, whether repair, maintenance, or relaxation, you will experience the benefits of all three to some extent. Simply being touched and having the soft tissue manipulated in any way can relax your system and facilitate repair. The body has amazing restorative capabilities, and the focus of the massage will depend on your primary goals.

Repair Massage: Transforming Soft Tissue Dysfunction

Repair style massage, also referred to as clinical or medical massage, is a targeted approach meticulously crafted to address and rectify soft tissue dysfunction. Its primary objective is to retrain muscle memory and restore tissues to a healthier state.

The Repair Phase:

Tailored Appointments for Effective Retraining

1 / Frequent Sessions:

Initially, appointments are scheduled closer together to aid in the retraining process.

2 / Progress Monitoring:

As symptoms lessen in intensity and frequency, the frequency of appointments is reduced.

3 / Transition to Maintenance:

Gradual spacing of appointments until reaching the maintenance phase.

Personalized Treatment Plans:

Catering to Individual Needs

1 / Unique Approach:

Treatment varies per individual, as each person’s pain and body response are different.

2 / Influencing Factors:

Consideration of activity level, diet, work environment, sleep habits, emotional state, pain duration, and structural damage.

3 / Adjustments:

Treatment plans are flexible and adaptable to these factors.

Treatment Objectives:

Muscular Pain vs. Structural Damage

1 / Muscular Pain Relief:

Massage can be highly effective in relieving muscular pain.

2 / Structural Damage Considerations:

For structural damage, massage focuses on symptom management rather than reversal of damage.

3 / Symptom Management Techniques:

Includes reducing inflammation, relieving tension, improving fluid exchange, and enhancing soft tissue range of motion.

4 / Effectiveness Evaluation:

Typically, the effectiveness of massage in managing pain is assessed within the third or fourth session.
