Specialized Techniques for Therapeutic Massage

Here at Move Empower Concierge Physical Therapy, we specialize in not just any massage, but therapeutic massage tailored to your unique needs. Today, we’re exploring the intricate world of massage therapy, focusing on four specific techniques: trigger point therapy, cupping, myofascial release, and manual lymphatic drainage.

Trigger Point Therapy: Unlocking Tension with Therapeutic Massage

This technique involves identifying and applying pressure to specific “trigger points” in your muscles. These are tight areas within muscle tissue that can undeniably cause pain in other parts of the body. Our technique involves targeted touch, easing these points and offering relief from pain and discomfort.

Cupping: Ancient Technique Meets Modern Therapeutic Massage

Cupping, an age-old practice with roots in traditional Chinese medicine, has found a new home in modern therapy. This technique uses special cups on your skin to create suction, promoting increased blood flow, relaxation, and therefore general healing.

Myofascial Release: A Gentle Approach To Therapeutic Massage

Relief doesn’t always have to be about deep pressure. Myofascial release is a testament to that. This technique involves gentle, sustained pressure on the myofascial connective tissue. This technique certainly helps eliminate pain and restore motion. The aim is to ease the tension in the fascia that surrounds muscles and organs. Therefore, enhancing flexibility and movement.

Manual Lymphatic Drainage: Therapeutic Massage for Enhancing Your Body’s Natural Healing

Finally, manual lymphatic drainage encourages the natural drainage of the lymph, which carries waste products away from the tissues and back towards the heart. This technique is certainly beneficial for detoxification, edema, pre- and post-surgery therapy, and overall health enhancement.
