Dry Needling
The term dry needling is used as a short form for myofascial trigger point dry needling. The treatment plan is devised to reduce muscle pain in order to restore the function of the muscles. The procedure is carried out by using a single use sterile fine needle, also known as acupuncture needles, which is then inserted directly into the myofascial trigger points in the affected muscles to release the pressure and the knots formed. The treatment plan is used when muscle fibers contract but fail to lengthen out on relaxing, thus indicating an active trigger point. In such cases, knots are formed between the muscle fibers which are then released with the help of dry needling.
Medical Massage
Medical Massage is the term used for the specific massages which are prescribed by a physician often after detailed assessment and evaluation of the chronic pain at hand. Medical massage varies from spa massage in such a way that it is devised to treat a specific underlying problem. Plus, they vary from person to person, which is why, in consultation with your treating physician, should only be carried out by a qualified Medical Massage therapist. It is often carried out to treat chronic pain which results from serious injuries majorly after accidents. Our therapists are highly trained and experienced and promise to get you the best result possible.
Remedial Massage
The name says it all! Remedial massage is a specifically designed massage treatment that focuses on the injury points at hand. It is designed to stimulate the blood flow at the affected area (muscles, joints, tendons) with the aim to release pressure and restore movement which might have been affected due to a chronic condition or a sudden injury. Remedial massage therapists at East Malvern Massage Group would assess and evaluate the problem at hand first by conducting a series of tests so they can design the best suited treatment plan for your fast recovery.
Pregnancy Massage
Pregnancy can be hard for many. The stress, anxiety and back pain often leaves some mothers troubled throughout their pregnancy. In such cases, pregnancy massages help relax your muscles.
