A system of integrated massage techniques that are effective in rehabilitation

massage focuses on pain treatment and improving muscular functioning.
Orthopedic massage incorporates techniques which improve range of motion,
and passive and isometric testing. Orthopedic massage includes massage
techniques such as fascial release of connective tissues, transverse friction

massage helps to dissolve adhesions, realign soft tissue and reduce or
eliminate tension; and much more. Orthopedic massage is often used to
enhance performance of athletes, dancers and by individuals wishing to
improve overall health and well-being.
Sports Massage
A special form of massage and is typically used before, during, and after
athletic events. The purpose of the massage is to prepare the athlete
for peak performance, to drain away fatigue, to relieve swelling, to reduce
muscle tension, to promote flexibility and to prevent injuries. The main
purpose of sports massage therapy is to help alleviate the stress and
tension which builds up in the body’s soft tissues during physical activity.
Where minor injuries and lesions occur, due to overexertion and/or overuse,
massage can break them down quickly and effectively. The massage will
help prepare the athlete for peak performance, to drain away fatigue,
to relieve swelling, to reduce muscle tension, to promote flexibility
and to prevent injuries. Sports massage can help prevent those niggling
injuries that so often get in the way of performance and achievement,
whether a person is an athlete or a once a week jogger.
