Persistent musculoskeletal pain is a common symptom of the modern age. It is often a complex issue which stems from muscular imbalances, increased stress and acute injury or wear and tear.
Following the Jing approach to clinical massage, we work with you to reduce pain, increase range of motion and find ease in your body.
Clinical Massage draws on a combination of modalities including:
Hot and cold therapy – dependent on whether you are suffering with acute or chronic symptoms, hot and/or cold therapy can help to reduce inflammation and ease pain.
Myofascial release – fascia is an important source of chronic pain. It has ten times more sensory nerve receptors than red muscles!
Trigger point therapy – a trigger point is a hyper irritable spot in a skeletal muscle that is often painful on compression and has a characteristic referred pain pattern.
Acupressure points – an Eastern technique that is used to manipulate the meridian lines for treating conditions that do not traditionally respond to other standard massage techniques.
Stretching techniques – active and passive stretching and PNF techniques to increase range of motion and introduce movement back in to the body.
Exercise Rehabilitation – exercises to help strengthen and stretch relevant muscles, which you recieve as clearly narrated exercise videos, delivered straight to your smartphone or computer.
