Therapy.
By manipulating the body’s soft tissues, including muscles, tendons, ligaments, and connective tissue, it promotes relaxation, reduces tension, and addresses various musculoskeletal issues.
A multidisciplinary approach
The majority of back and neck pain involves more than one anatomical structure (muscles, bones, joints etc..) and will be caused by more than one factor.
It’s a common misconception that you need to be a sports person or play sports to benefit from ‘Sports Massage’, this is not the case. Many types of injury or muscle tension can be successfully treated and relieved from Sports Massage.
How can Sports Massage help?
01
Muscle Relaxation
Sports massage and soft tissue massage help relax tense muscles, reducing muscle stiffness and promoting a greater range of motion. This can be particularly beneficial for individuals with chronic muscle tension or those recovering from physical activity.
02
Pain Relief
Sports Massage therapy can alleviate pain by releasing endorphins, the body’s natural painkillers. It may also help reduce the perception of pain signals in the brain, providing relief for individuals with musculoskeletal pain, injuries, or conditions like fibromyalgia.
03
Improved Circulation
The manipulation of soft tissues during massage enhances blood flow and lymphatic circulation. This increased circulation promotes the delivery of oxygen and nutrients to the muscles and aids in the removal of metabolic waste products, contributing to overall tissue health.
04
Stress Reduction
Soft tissue massage has a calming effect on the nervous system, leading to a reduction in stress hormones such as cortisol. This can help individuals manage stress, anxiety, and improve their overall mental well-being.
05
Enhanced Flexibility
By targeting muscle and connective tissue, sports massage and soft tissue therapy can improve flexibility and joint range of motion. This is particularly valuable for athletes, individuals recovering from injuries, or those with conditions causing reduced mobility.
06
Improved Sleep Quality
Regular massage has been associated with improved sleep patterns. The relaxation induced by massage can positively impact sleep quality, making it an appealing option for individuals experiencing sleep disturbances.
07
Enhanced Mood & Well-Being
The release of endorphins during massage contributes to an improved mood, making it a valuable therapeutic tool for individuals dealing with depression or anxiety.
Soft tissue treatments
Having a hugely skilled and experienced therapist team means we can offer a host of soft tissue therapies to enable our clients to receive the very best care and solution to their needs.
Sports Massage
We offer many different types of Soft Tissue treatments tailored specifically to release muscle tension, support good posture and reduce localised pain through manipulation of soft tissue.
Dry Needling
Dry needling can help alleviate pain by releasing tension in muscles and reducing muscle spasms. It targets trigger points, which are hyperirritable spots in the muscles associated with pain.
Cupping
Cupping creates suction, which can enhance blood flow to the treated area. Improved circulation promotes the delivery of oxygen and nutrients to the tissues and helps in the removal of metabolic waste products.
Shockwave Therapy
Shockwave therapy treatment is a non-surgical procedure. It targets damaged tissue and emits impulses of energy to increase the blood flow and stimulate healing and cell regeneration and is ideal for treating chronic pain.
“We strive to make sure all of our massage clients at Life Chiropractic leave stress and tension-free and feeling the benefit of their treatment.”
How many treatments will I need?
It’s important to note that the benefits of soft tissue massage can vary from person to person, and individual preferences for pressure and techniques may differ. Our qualified massage therapists can help tailor treatment to specific needs and ensure its appropriateness for individual health conditions.
Many conditions will require an initial course of treatment. The number of treatments needed varies from person to person and what is right for you will be explained by your practitioner.
