Some Specific Therapy Skills Include:
The following are some of the methods employed by medical massage therapists.
- Postural Analysis---This tool allows the therapist to identify body stress areas. Undue stress and pain is often caused by "guarding", unconsciously holding muscles in locked position.
- Extensive patient history---having a clear medical history and information about environment, work, pastime interest, and other activities provides the therapist with a blueprint from which to begin.
- Muscle resistance testing---To help identify muscle-tendon tears.
- Advanced Form of Trigger Point Therapy---This intriguing technique is safe and effective in reducing or removing pain by releasing the tissues that are feeding the trigger point.
- Myofascial Release Therapy---Sometimes fascia can become stuck through injury or holding patterns. The traction methods of this therapy are very helpful in restoring normal range of motion.
- Transverse Friction Technique and Multidirectional Friction Technique---This is a valuable tool to soften scar tissue, and break down adhesions.
- Repetitive Use Injury Technique---This wonderful method can break pain barriers and restore normal function of injured muscles.
- Pelvic Stabilization--This protocol is designed to balance the core muscles.
- Eccentric Scar Tissue Alignment Technique--Aligns scar tissue in direction of movement.
- Differentiating Between Muscle/Tendon Tears and Trigger Points.
- Differentiating Between Tight Constricted Muscles vs Weak, Overstreched Muscles.
