ROM tests ๐Ÿคธ๐Ÿผโ€โ™€๏ธ

What is ROM?
- Range of Movement

Why do I ask to test your ROM?
- This gives me an indication to what muscles may be causing a restricted range of movement to a joint or tension / pain in certain areas

- It allows me to demonstrate to the client that the massage is having a positive effect on their mobility and reducing that feeling of resistance

How does massage improve ROM?
- Massage increases soft tissue elasticity and breaks down adhesions that restrict motion. This is achieved by increasing tissue temperature and blood flow, which relaxes muscles and allows the muscle fibers and surrounding connective tissues to be stretched and lengthened. Massage also realigns and loosens haphazard collagen fibers, restoring their proper alignment with muscle fibers and further enhancing flexibility and movement!

Things you canโ€™t see post massageโ€ฆ ๐Ÿ‘€

As much as we can often see the visible effects of a regular massage, such as:

- Improved posture
- Promotion of muscular re-balance
- Erythema
- Lymphatic drainage

Here are some of the things we canโ€™t physically see, but can certainly feel ๐Ÿคฒ๐Ÿผ

Improved circulation: speeds up recovery time from working muscles, and reducing chance of injury occurrence ๐Ÿƒ๐Ÿผโ€โ™€๏ธ

Improved flexibility: promotes better range of motion by stretching shortened muscle tissues and breaks down adhesions of scar tissue ๐Ÿคธ๐Ÿผโ€โ™‚๏ธ

Encouraged muscle recovery: massage promotes blood and lymph flow which delivers oxygen and nutrients to tired muscles and clear metabolic waste ๐Ÿฅฑ

Stress reduction: massage promotes the release of endorphins and lowers stress levels / reduces anxiety, especially when the upper back is targeted as this is where people often hold stress / tension ๐Ÿ˜Œ

Promotes better sleep: releasing the tension within our muscles creates an overall calmness allowing the body to relax ๐Ÿ’ค

Improved mental clarity: a reduction in physical discomfort and mental stress can lead to improved concentration and mental clarity ๐Ÿง 

That post massage feeling of relief ๐Ÿ’†๐Ÿผโ€โ™€๏ธ
