Guest guest Posted December 3, 2003 Report Share Posted December 3, 2003 Hi everyone... I think this is an obvious example of the bad trend of medicalizing massage... All good massage therapists should be able to at least help the following... When possible, I throw in a little homeopathy with my massage, and my clients 99.9% of the time feel completely restored!! Be Well, Misty L. Trepke http://www..com Medical Massage Medical or Clinical massage deals with the dysfunction of the soft tissue or range of motion of the joints. This type of massage usually occurs after an injury has been sustained or due to over use. It is important that the injury is assessed as soon as possible after an injury occurs. The longer an injury goes untreated, the longer the recovery time. Clinical Massage can be beneficial in the treatment of conditions such as: Carpal Tunnel Syndrome, Frozen Shoulder, R.S.I., Tendonitis (in various sizes), Osteoarthritis, Rheumatoid Arthritis, Fallen Arches, Sprained Ankles, Shin Splints, Scoliosis, Knee Problems, Tennis Elbow, Golf Elbow, Whiplash, Rounded Shoulders, Rotator Cuff Tears, and Bursitis. Your Physiotherapist will often refer you to a Soft Tissue Therapist to help you restore the range of motion within joints of the body, and or through muscle lengthening techniques.
