Post Injury Rehabilitation
Injuries can happen at any time, but those who lead active lifestyles or engage in regular sports are more likely to experience them at some point. Whether from intense training or recreational activities, the risk of injury is part of pushing the body’s limits.
Post Injury Rehabilitation
Massage therapy plays a crucial role in the recovery process, particularly for individuals dealing with injuries. By employing targeted techniques, our registered massage therapists help relax muscles and improve circulation, allowing essential nutrients to reach the injured areas more effectively.
At Regina RMT, we specialize in supporting recovery from a variety of injuries and conditions, including:
– Sprains
– Strains
– Muscle tears
– Fractures
– Scar tissue buildup
Our therapists use a combination of techniques like remedial, Swedish, deep tissue, and sports massage to tailor treatments to your specific injury and recovery needs.
Key benefits of massage therapy during injury rehabilitation include:
Pain Relief: When muscles and connective tissues tighten around an injury as a protective response, massage helps relax these areas, reducing pain and discomfort.
Improved Flexibility: Regular massage promotes better blood flow to the injured areas, relaxing tendons, ligaments, and muscles. It can help improve flexibility by breaking down tightness and easing scar tissue, which often restricts range of motion.
Reduction in Scar Tissue: Scar tissue, often formed after an injury, can limit movement. Massage therapy helps soften and break down collagen in the scar tissue, improving mobility and reducing pain.
Physiological effects of massage therapy during recovery include:
Capillarization: Massage encourages the expansion of blood vessels, increasing the flow of oxygen and nutrients to the injured tissues, which supports healing.
Collagen Realignment: Excess collagen from an injury can impede flexibility. Massage helps redistribute this collagen, aiding the muscles in moving more freely.
Increased Elasticity: By boosting circulation and relaxing the muscles, massage allows for improved flexibility and range of motion, essential for restoring normal function.
Massage therapy helps accelerate the healing process by enhancing blood circulation, reducing muscle tightness, and improving flexibility. This combination promotes faster recovery, so you can return to your normal activities sooner.
