Types of Massage/Soft Tissue Therapy

    • Used to assess and remedy painful and dysfunctional soft tissue conditions/injuries
    • Involves the use of various hands-on techniques such as Trigger Point Therapy & Myofascial Release. This may incorporate Massage Sports Massage Physio Burleigh Labrador Runaway Bay Gold Coast Pilatestechniques such as myofascial dry needling, active and passive movement and assisted stretching.
  • Sports Massage – use of remedial techniques in a sport specific setting to assist sports performance and enhance recovery.
  • Therapeutic Massage – incorporates various massage techniques designed to relax, de-stress and release soft tissue tension. Great for stress and anxiety management, and to assist general well-being.
  • Myofascial Dry Needling – Myofascial Dry Needling is used for the treatment of pain, soft tissue dysfunction and other symptoms associated with myofascial trigger points & tender points. It involves the use of acupuncture needles to specifically target and deactivate the local muscle/soft tissues tightness and associated dysfunction of the nervous system. It works well in conjunction with other massage techniques and is often less painful and more effective than using traditional deep tissue techniques.
  • Other styles:
    • Lymphatic drainage (MLD). This is a gentle superficial form of massage which involves using direction specific massage to increase lymphatic flow and therefore enhance detoxification. MLD is great for reducing swelling during the acute injury phase and can reduce congestion/swelling post surgery or after removal of lymph nodes. Therapeutic and remedial massage will also tend to enhance lymphatic drainage to some degree.
