What Is Strain Counterstrain?
Strain Counterstrain is a manual therapy technique, meaning clinicians use only their hands for treatment of muscle and joint pain. It uses passive body positioning of hypertonic (spasmed) muscles and dysfunctional joints toward positions of comfort or tissue ease that compress or shorten the offending muscle. The purpose of movement toward shortening is to relax aberrant reflexes that produce the muscle spasm forcing immediate reduction of muscle tone to normal levels. This allows the joint influenced by the now relaxed muscle to function optimally increasing its range of motion and easing muscle and joint pain. Strain Counterstrain is an effective, but extremely gentle, technique because its action for treatment moves the patient’s body away from the painful, restricted directions of motion.
What Is Myofascial Release?
Myofascial release is a type of massage therapy that is used to increase soft tissue mobility called myofascial mobility. Additionally, myofascial release reduces pain within the musculoskeletal system. It is a slow and effective technique to relieve the symptoms of fascia restriction. However, myofascial release massage therapy gives relief from many kinds of pains and conditions, so it is widely used. Furthermore, the myofascial is situated under the skin and muscles, ligaments, and bones because the myofascial is connective tissue. Therefore, if there is any immobility and skeletal muscle pain, then it is necessary to give Myofascial release therapy.
What is deep tissue massage?
Deep tissue massage is a massage technique that’s mainly used to treat musculoskeletal issues, such as strains and sports injuries. It involves applying sustained pressure using slow, deep strokes to target the inner layers of your muscles and connective tissues. This helps to break up scar tissue that forms following an injury and reduce tension in muscle and tissue.
It may also promote faster healing by increasing blood flow and reducing inflammation.
What Is Trigger Point Massage Therapy?
The goal of trigger point massage is to locate those active trigger points and encourage them to “calm down.” If your therapist can release the trigger point, your entire muscle will relax and function normally (and you’ll feel so much better).
Your massage therapist will start by palpating your muscles to identify the source of your pain (often a trigger point). They’ll then use direct pressure on the trigger point to encourage it to release. They may also include stretching, kneading, and other techniques to help the muscles relax.
This pressure may feel uncomfortable at first, especially if you’ve had the problem for a while. Communication with your therapist is key to ensuring a successful session.
It may also promote faster healing by increasing blood flow and reducing inflammation.
