What is the difference between recreational therapy from physical therapy?
Medical massage therapy uses advanced deep tissue massage techniques to break up scar tissue, release adhered tissues, and promote healthy tissue growth and repair. Physical therapy usually involves more range of motion testing, joint mobilization, stretches, exercises, and some massage. Both Physical therapy and Medical Massage therapy require a detailed knowledge of anatomy and physiology. Many Physical therapists do practice some form of massage and nearly all massage therapists are trained in range of motion, joint mobilization, and stretching movements.
What are the negative effects of massage?
If done properly and appropriately, there are no negative effects of massage. As long as the touch is safe and the person does not have any conditions that could be aggravated by massage, there should be no problems. The relationship between a massage therapist and a client should contain the elements of trust, compensation for services, and mutual agreement. If massage is performed when any of these elements are breached, then harm may result. The first rule is "Do no harm!"
How long should you wait to get a massage after a fall?
After a fall, it's generally advisable to wait at least 48 hours before getting a massage. This allows time for any swelling or inflammation to subside. However, if you experience severe pain, bruising, or suspect a serious injury, it's best to consult a healthcare professional before proceeding with any massage therapy. Always listen to your body and prioritize your recovery.
Are massage chairs bad for you?
No. They are not bad for you. Getting a massage on a massage chair is a bit different than lying on a table. For example, the massage will be shorter and will focus more on rejuvenating and energizing you so you can feel refreshed rather than sedated, which is more likely going to happen in a longer massage. If you are a practitioner, then they are not bad for you as long as you know how to use them and set your massage program. Also, which brand are you buying. I own a massage chair from OSIM which I use regularly and it hasn't caused any problems for me. OSIM Massage Chairs are really worth the spend.
