Things One Should Know About Massage Therapy Treatment

by Dr. Cameron Chiropractor

The practice of massage therapy is largely the hands-on assessment and treatment of the soft tissues of the body to prevent physical dysfunction. As the muscles, connective tissues, ligaments, tendons, and joints are assessed and treated through massage, it helps in optimizing one’s health. Whether a person wants to have a moment of relaxation, ease the muscle strain or get relief from chronic pain, a therapeutic massage can work wonders.

Registered massage therapy treatment helps in developing, maintaining, and improving the physical functions of one’s body and enhance the overall sense of emotional and physical well-being. By acting on the muscular, nervous, and circulatory systems, it delivers a therapeutic effect on one’s body.

How does it work?

At the beginning of the treatment, the massage therapist will carry out a thorough history and physical assessment in order to verify the major problem areas. The physical evaluation includes testing the range of a person’s motion, orthopedic testing and the condition of affected muscles.

Depending on the assessment, the massage therapist will decide the type of treatment an individual needs and how much time the patient will take need to recover.  The speed of recovery and type of treatment depends on the individual’s age, activity level, severity of the condition, and duration that a person has had the problem.
