Moving your body requires your joints to flex, extend, or rotate. But that can’t happen if they are not stable. Ligaments hold bones together at joints. Muscles and tendons move bones and stabilize the joints during movement. If the intended muscles aren’t strong enough to move or stabilize, others will be recruited to do the job. Your brain could see that as instability and tell the surrounding muscles to protect the joint, limiting your movement. And possibly creating some pain.
Orthopedic massage addresses joint mobility and painful movement issues. It can be incorporated into every massage session. We would perform some movement assessments to pinpoint what needs work. Treatment generally involves targeted, gentle myofascial, trigger point, deep tissue, and neuromuscular techniques, although it will be customized to your particular needs. Regular massage sessions can be the key to maintaining your mobility.
