Tendon Talk – Tendon Health and Maintenance
Ahh, tendons. Tendons have to be in the top 5 of things physical therapists talk about every day. Whether we’re dealing with a new injury
• Sports Massage – Sports massage is a specialized form of massage therapy designed to help athletes improve performance, prevent injuries, and aid in recovery. It focuses on targeting muscle groups specific to the sport or activity, using techniques like deep tissue manipulation, stretching, and trigger point therapy. Sports massage can be used before or after physical activity to enhance flexibility, reduce muscle soreness, and promote faster recovery. It is beneficial for both professional athletes and active individuals looking to optimize their physical performance.
• Deep Tissue – Deep tissue massage is a therapeutic technique that focuses on the deeper layers of muscles and connective tissue. It uses slow, firm pressure and deep strokes to release tension, alleviate chronic muscle pain, and improve mobility. This type of massage targets knots and areas of tightness, often caused by stress, injury, or overuse, by breaking down scar tissue and improving circulation in the affected areas. Deep tissue massage is ideal for individuals dealing with chronic pain, muscle stiffness, or injury recovery.
• Myofascial Release – Myofascial release is a specialized form of manual therapy that focuses on relieving tension in the fascia, the connective tissue that surrounds muscles and organs. It involves applying gentle, sustained pressure to areas of tightness or restrictions in the fascia to help release adhesions, improve mobility, and reduce pain. This technique is often used to treat chronic pain, muscle stiffness, and conditions like fibromyalgia or postural problems. By restoring flexibility in the fascia, myofascial release promotes better movement and supports the body’s natural healing processes.
