Massage can influence soft tissue healing. As a Massage therapist I will choose my technique based in part on the stage of healing of the injured tissue. Gentle techniques are used in acute and sub-acute injury stages to aide in proper arrangement of Fibrils and to prevent adhesions. Later chronic stages of healing require deeper techniques to decrease adhesions, improve scar extensibility and increase overall mobility of tissues.
The majority of massage treatments are 1 hour to perform a proper and thorough massage. Patients often book 90 min sessions to work on their muscle issues longer.
Patients tend to feel fabulous, and often experience delayed muscle soreness that can last a couple of days.
The number of treatments needed depends on the injury, what was damaged, and how long ago it happened.
Overall maintenance with no major underlying issues can be done once a month.
