Therapeutic Massage Therapy

Denise H.

When I met Frank I had extreme pain in my lower back, tight hips along with lower sciatica nerve pain. Just after two sessions I felt huge shifts physically and energetically. Unlike most physical therapists I have been to in the past Frank did a lot more work with me both hands on and with the exercises he taught me. If you are more comfortable being treated by a female practitioner Frank’s wife Amy is also a PT. She provided me with massage therapy and gave me some insight on my condition along with some yoga exercises.I was in a lot of pain and now I have Zero pain!!

Discover the Benefits of Therapeutic Massage!

Therapeutic massage is commonly used in McAllen, TX athletes whose muscles may have experienced extended periods of overuse.

It helps in loosening up any tight areas and making recovery quicker and easier – so you can get back on track to accomplishing your end goal. Contact Pure Physical Therapy & Pilates today to figure out how therapeutic massage can help you!

What can I gain from therapeutic massage?

Therapeutic massage can be extremely beneficial for athletes, both before and after their training process.

Our physical therapist may also recommend other types of massage to complement your physical therapy treatments, including:

Swedish massage

This type of massage relaxes any stiff or tense muscles you may have, allowing for increased blood flow and fluid drainage from swollen areas.

Myofascial release

This type of massage creates room for tissues that may be trapped by distortions or fascial adhesions, freeing them from constriction.

Deep tissue massage

This type of massage loosens up your muscles and their connective tissues.

Therapeutic massage promotes tissue healing, so you can get back to your sport of choice as quickly as possible.

Sports massage therapy can also be used before you even begin your rigorous exercise regimen, targeting the specific muscles and tissues that see the most use for your sport.

By working to mobilize, loosen, and relax these muscles before you train, you can help them stay limber throughout the process. This will decrease your risk of strains, sprains, and ruptures.

The importance of your soft tissues

Your muscles are made up of many small, thin fibers that contract on command, working together to mobilize your muscle groups.

These muscles are attached to your bones by connective tissues, called tendons, enabling them to move your body parts.

Your bones are then connected by tough bands of connective tissue, called ligaments, for added stability. Your ligaments are covered by yet another connective tissue called fascia. All of these connective tissues can be referred to as “soft tissues.”

Soft tissues help in mobilizing your joints and give your body the strength it needs to perform tasks. Your soft tissues provide you with the ability to do many things; however, they also limit you from pushing yourself too far – even if that’s your intention.

These can be damaged by certain stresses, especially those caused by the repeated actions within the athletic activity.

A tear in the tendon can leave you with a significant amount of swelling and inflammation. Many athletes also experience sprains, which is caused by a ligament stretching farther than intended.

These injuries may occur in response to the intensity of your sport, but they can also occur if muscles simply are too tight before you begin one of your workouts.

Therapeutic massage can help with this, as it loosens up the muscles, and may even prevent some of these injuries from occurring.

Therapeutic massage and athletes

If you are an athlete, you know the amount of dedication that it takes to be good at your sport.

Whether you’re preparing for a marathon, competition, recital, or big game, the amount of training and preparation is extensive.

You have to train your muscles and tissues to perform in the ways you want them to, which can ultimately lead to pain and soreness. This is a minor setback, but it doesn’t change the fact that it temporarily impedes your training process.

That’s where therapeutic massage comes in – it helps loosen up the muscles to alleviate pain and increase range of motion. This helps restructure the body so you can improve your physical performance and get back in the game!

Get started with therapeutic massage today!

Your soft tissues work hard to make sure your body is functioning correctly, so it is important to help optimize their health and function.
