Medical massage is specifically directed to help resolve conditions that have been diagnosed and recommended by a physician. Traditional massage can provide a multitude of benefits. However, when a specific condition has been diagnosed which has associated muscle complaints medical massage may provide more lasting pain relief.
When the physician interacts closely with the massage therapist it provides important benefits. First, the patient benefits both from the physician’s medical knowledge and the massage therapist’s experience working with soft tissue imbalances. Secondly, the physician is able to determine how much of the patients particular condition is truly of muscular origin. This constant feedback can prove to be therapeutic and diagnostic. Medical massages are often prescribed, but very few are in fact interactive between the physician and the massage therapist. This interaction can provide excellent results when the patient and the massage therapist’s feedback are closely monitored.
A general massage can provide important relief. However, consider the effectiveness of a regional specific medical massage. These particular massages can be very advantageous not only for people with specific medical conditions but also for those involved in certain sports. For example, swimmers: an individual may be working on changing their specialty stroke from breast to butterfly. This would cause different muscle demands that could result in pain. Undergoing regionally specific massages, before and after those changes, would decrease discomfort one might notice during that transition.
Massages can be much more than just for relaxation. We can clearly see the benefits in improving not only muscle tension but relief with nerve compression/entrapment; increased range of motion; posture/coordination and decreased pain/inflammation. The benefits of medical massage are becoming more universally recognized. Even some insurance companies are beginning to understand the importance of this and are providing reimbursement. As powerful as medical massage can be, in certain conditions it can be contraindicated. Please consult with our office or another health-care provider to determine the best and most appropriate treatment protocol.
