TREATMENT: The answers
you have been waiting for...
Treatment/Medical
Massage. Treatment results vary per person
and issue. Many patients notice relief during the
first treatment. This however is rare. The
majority of patients need several sessions until
their pain reduces and may be relieved
permanently. It si not uncommon to have soreness
after the initial treatment--many tissues are
adjusting to changes that occurred during
treatment. As these tissues are being treated they
learn to adjust more quickly, giving more relief
and less soreness. This body and tissue
response is a normal stage of chronic pain and
healing.
The speed at which
a patient is able to return to "normal" activities
without pain depends on treatment frequency,
adherence to suggested 'homework', and possibly

Benefits
of TP work:
Trigger point work
helps treat and manage pain, directly at the
source not where it manifests itself. We
also work the surrounding tissues/muscles to
reduce the tension from compensation and general
tightness.
Method:
Your LMT will greet
you, review our medical history, do a verbal and
physical assessment of your bodies condition
finding the TP and tight muscles. During
treatment your LMT will use different techniques
with varying pressure to break down the tension,
build-up of knots, and TP work. Because of thise
pressure and specific area work it may be
uncomfortable.
Post
Treatment:
Stay hydrated. The
break-up of tension and TPs releases the trapped
toxins in the tissue into the blood stream and
lymph system. This hydration helps flush
these toxins out faster, decreasing aches and
soreness.
