Sports Massage Can Benefit Everyone in Largo 33771, Belleair and Indian Rocks Beach by Massage Envy Largo
Sports massage does not have to be reserved only for athletes and sports buffs. According to sports massage authority Wrio Russell, it can benefit everyone. Sports massage can, therefore, benefit all residents of Largo 33771, Belleair and Indian Rocks Beach.
Wrio Russell is the founder director of the London School of Sports Massage and a practicing sports massage therapist, as well as a Reiki master teacher.
In his article “Sports Massage – A Therapy for All,” Russell points out that sports massage is recognized by athletes around the world and even by the British Olympic Association medical committee but it does not have to be confined only to them. Sports massage could, actually, benefit anyone with problems related to soft tissue, whether these are acute, chronic or post-operative. He says that the techniques of sports massage are “actively and passively physical” and they enable self-motivated patients to participate in their respective treatments, thereby empowering them.
Russell identifies the strokes of general massage as effleurage, friction and petrissage.
He describes effleurage as the primary technique used for diagnosis and treatment in massage. The palms, fingers or even the arm is used in effleurage to make deep or superficial sweeping and probing strokes either lengthwise along muscles in the direction of the heart or in transverse across muscle fibers.
Russell describes friction as a technique using the thumbs or the fingertips to apply deep pressure across muscles fibers where there is adhesion or the formation of scar tissue. The technique can be painful and the pain may be lessened with deep breathing by the patient.
Petrissage, on the other hand, is, according to Russell, made up of muscle squeezing, kneading, rocking, shaking and percussion.
Russell also mentions the neuromuscular technique or NMT which he says is quite similar to acupressure. This is what he refers to as a passive technique. According to Russell, NMT is used in conjunction with general massage. The area of the body with muscular tension is prepared with general massage. Deep yet subtle pressure is then applied for a maximum of 90 seconds on painful spots. This is followed by stretching. A series of such treatments will produce long term relief.
Among the active techniques referred to by Russell are soft tissue release or STR, the muscle energy technique or MET and strain counter strain or SCS.
Soft tissue release, according to Russell, was partly developed from traditional Thai massage and involves a combination of pressure and stretching. It is an effective method to break down soft tissue adhesions. The target muscle is first shortened and relaxed by the therapist by moving the appropriate joint. The palm, thumb or fist is then used to put deep pressure on the muscle adhesion while the therapist’s other hand is used to move the joint again so that the muscle fibers are stretched and the adhesion is pried apart. The stretching has to be done gently and subtly so as to avoid injury.
Russell documents several cases wherein sports massage was used to relieve the pain of patients with neck and shoulder pain, whiplash, thoracic kyphosis, frozen shoulder and knee injury.
In fact, he himself had benefited from sports massage therapy. Russell says he became seriously ill in 1999 and had to undergo surgery. After the operation, though, his back and left shoulder were “almost in a state of rigor mortis.” His sports massage therapist applied soft tissue release regularly for six months and he was restored to normal.
Now that you know of the many benefits of sports massage, you could ask for it as an alternative to other massage therapies, such as deep tissue massage therapy, from your favorite professional massage clinic in Largo 33771, Belleair and Indian Rocks Beach.
