Clinical Progression Massage
Everyone experiences soft tissue abnormalities or “knots”. Muscular imbalance incurs soft tissue compensations that have tendency to inhibit circulation &/or impinge nerve function, causing discomfort & disrupting function. Typically compared to a “Deep Tissue” treatment, Clinical Progression Massage combines a host of specialized techniques to help treat any imaginable causal factor (that which has an effect on tissue, action, &/or postural alignment) at every level of tissue structure (deep or superficial).
The intent of a Clinical Progression Massage is to assess soft tissue to locate areas of pathology and to facilitate change in that tissue to promote ideal function.
By using Kinesiology (study of muscles & movement), adverse conditions affecting soft tissue integrity are treated.
These conditions include, but are not limited to:
- ADHESIONS: Binding of adjacent layers of soft tissue
- BLUNDT INJURY OR SURGERY: Altered tissue from trauma &/or scar tissue
- SOFT TISSUE STRAIN: Traumas to a muscle or a musculotendinous unit due to repetitive movement,excessive contraction, or forceful stretch
- SOFT TISSUE STIFFENING: Formation of fibrous tissue as a reparative or a reactive process in an area it does not normally occur
- ISCHEMIA: Lack of blood flow through an area or tissue
- MYOFASCIAL TRIGGER POINTS: Myofascial trigger points (palpable tender spots due to overstretched &/or weakened skeletal muscle tissue that are hyperirritable when compressed, that refer or radiate pain in a characteristic pattern)
Multiple sessions may be necessary on similar area if extensive soft tissue pathology exists.
Unique specifics of muscle addressing can always be created based on cut required.
