Therapeutic Manual Therapy for Pain Relief and Recovery
Therapeutic Manual Therapy encompasses various massage techniques aimed at relieving pain and reducing stress. This therapy is often used to address specific issues, such as tennis elbow, by focusing on the soft tissues of the body—muscles, tendons, and ligaments that aid in movement and support.
Therapeutic Manual Therapy can help alleviate discomfort caused by:
•Repetitive stress injuries from prolonged sitting or standing
•Migraines, cluster headaches, tension headaches, or sinus headaches
•Temporomandibular joint (TMJ) disorders
•Post-surgical scar tissue
•Strains and sprains
•Whiplash
•Low back pain
•Tendonitis
•Frozen shoulder
•Radiating pain
Another method of treatment is "spot work," where the therapist concentrates on a specific area of concern for about 15 minutes, often incorporating stretches into the session. Therapeutic massage can significantly improve overall well-being, reducing pain, increasing range of motion, and promoting faster recovery from a variety of medical conditions. These focused techniques help restore ease of movement and enhance functional abilities.
