Types of Massage Offered at Our Yakima Massage Clinic
There are different types of massage that you can access at Acute Yakima. They include:
Healing Massage or Injury Massage
This combination of energetic and physical bodywork clears blockages and bodily stress. If you suffer from long-term stress and acute emotional trauma, you probably have negative energies accumulated within your body. The body often reacts to energy blockages and then holds them in the muscles, which could lead to physical pain.
You can release emotional trauma like depression, anxiety, and stress by getting a healing massage. This can be done through a combination of energetic and physical workouts. This is achieved using breathing therapy, energy movement, acupressure, and deep tissue massage. It’s a good choice for those with emotional issues, those who need clarity, who are depressed, anxious, feeling blocked, or stressed.
Relaxing Massage
This is a gentle and smooth massage that helps promote relaxation and helps with muscular tension relief. In addition, it helps improve movement and circulation. This kind of massage aims at rejuvenating and reviving you without causing discomfort. The Swedish massage is one of the best examples here.
Therapy Massage Yakima
In this kind of massage, you are attended by a medical professional who is certified and trained. This therapist can manipulate the body tissues. This includes the skin, ligaments, tendons, connective tissues, and muscles. The therapist uses different movements and degrees of pressure to get the job done.
Chiropractic Massage in Yakima or specialty massage therapists in Yakima WA can work with those who have pain and muscle problems. We also have chiropractors. There are times when patients deal with tight muscles that pull the bones leading to discomfort and pain.
Our clinic is also a great place for those involved in accidents and who suffered soft tissue damage. By getting massage therapy, the joints are moved in the proper position, which facilitates blood flow and healing. With muscle work and chiropractic adjustments together, you heal faster.
Massage under this category can include:
Swedish massage is mainly used to reduce tension in the muscles and utilizes lower pressure levels. Desired results are achieved by using rhythmic pressure at lower levels.
In this case, pressure is applied deeply and is the best for areas with dysfunction and pain. At high levels, the pressure can alleviate knotted tissues without enough blood.
This is an important option for athletes that want to maintain flexibility and avoid injuries on and off the field. There are different techniques combined in this case.
This focuses on some specific muscle areas and connective tissues with a lot of neurological activity. This is a good choice for those with idiopathic pain.
Chiropractic Massage in Yakima
This might not be a new term to you, but you may not know what it means. This type of massage combines massage therapy and chiropractic methods to boost the nervous system and spine health. A professional Yakima massage therapistnear your home can help relieve vertebral subluxations. The adjustments help the realignment of joints and remove pain or tension within the spine or limbs.
Chiropractic adjustments are aimed at the hard body parts like joints and bones. Chiropractic massage can be used alongside adjustments to bring full health benefits to the body. Sometimes, methods are used together on a treatment plan. Chiropractic massage deals with back pain, headaches, and joint pain.
Massage Therapies we provide in Yakima
At Acute Yakima, there are different therapies that we provide professionally to our clients, and these are therapies that are the best for injury care. Our therapists are well trained in the different options and relaxation techniques. Some of our specialties in this area include:
Medical Massage
A medical massage is not the same as a massage. While pressure is applied to the body, medical massage differs in some ways. Medical massage is outcome-based. Apart from relaxation and stress relief, this kind of massage helps in pain management, improving circulation, reducing inflammation, increasing flexibility, improving digestion, and relieving nerve compression.
Medical massage can help with different needs by employing different techniques. Our therapists can make the recommendations and help you out. In addition, we can give follow-up recommendations and treatment plans to help you get better sooner.
Based on the goals, medical and massage treatments can be used together to achieve and fulfill your needs. For example, the medical massage you can get from us includes cupping therapy, Thai massage, chair massage, aromatherapy, postnatal and prenatal massage, healing touch, myofascial release, reflexology, sports massage, trigger point and deep tissue massage.
Muscle Therapy
This Musculoskeletal treatment (Massage Therapy Yakima) aims at healing the body as a whole. It can also target specific injuries to ensure you get the best treatment possible. Muscle therapy usually involves some rehabilitation stretches and exercises. These aim at rebalancing the body to ensure that injury does not return, and total healing is achieved.
Muscle treatment makes use of different techniques that help the patient feel better. It involves movement-based techniques, deep tissue massage, correcting exercise, dry kneading, myofascial release, and trigger point therapy. With this kind of therapy, pain is dealt with. When the body is not in pain, you tend to perform better, which is important.
Some sports medicine, osteopathic, chiropractic, and physiotherapy approaches are reductionist. This means that the injury can be broken into something specific. In some cases, the pain can be due to different things. With some practitioners, treatment is rushed, and you may never get to know what the main cause of the pain was. For a good outcome, muscle therapy is recommended.
With our muscle therapy, we help reduce the pain that is within your muscles. As a result, you have a better chance of increasing muscle function with experienced and trained physical therapists, stretchologists, and occupational therapists.
Muscle therapy is the best solution for those with pain caused by physical activity, and there are different types of massage available. These include massage therapy, assisted stretching, and myofascial release.
Cupping
This alternative medicine method uses special cups on the skin for a couple of minutes to create some suction. It is done for different purposes, such as helping with wellbeing, relaxation, blood flow, inflammation, and pain. The cups can be silicone, earthenware, bamboo, or glass. While cupping therapy is still trendy today, it has been used for centuries and by different cultures.
There are various cupping methods, including wet and dry. In the cupping methods, therapists put flammable substances like paper, herbs, and alcohol inside a cup and then set it on fire. When the fire goes out, the cup is placed on the skin. When the air inside this cup cools, a vacuum is created, making the skin rise and reddens because of the expansion of blood vessels. The cup can be left in that position for some minutes. Instead of fire, the modem versions use rubber pumps for vacuum creation. There are instances where silicone cups can be moved on the skin to give massage effects. Cupping can be used alongside other treatments for better outcomes.
Myofascial Release
This is a manual therapy type of technique that is often applied during the massage. It focuses on pain arising from myofascial tissues. These are the membranes that connect, support, and wrap our muscles. Myofascial pain comes from trigger points related to anchored or stiff areas in the myofascial tissue. Pain caused by trigger points can be very hard to localize.
In this therapy, the therapist will locate all fixed and stiff areas instead of the movable elastic ones. The areas may not always be close to the pain source but can restrict joint and muscle movements, leading to more muscle pain. With myofascial release, restricted movement is loosened, which reduces pain significantly.
This manual therapy differs from one therapist to the next but working with someone with the proper training in the area is always important. The elements involved in this kind of therapy are not always uniform.
Combined with manual therapies such as chiropractic manipulation and massage, it can be very helpful with back pain treatment. However, before such a therapy starts, you need to consult someone with training in this area to ensure that it is the right option for you. At our Yakima massage clinic, we make it our business to evaluate your needs and ensure that you access the most suitable treatment for your pain issue.
Instrument Assisted Soft Tissue Manipulation
This is another area that we specialize in at Acute Yakima. IASTM, or instrument-assisted soft tissue manipulation, is a kind of myofascial intervention used to treat soft tissues. It is based on James Cyriax’s principles of cross-friction massage.
Instrument assisted soft tissue manipulation is applied using stainless steel instruments with beveled edges. They also have contours capable of conforming to different anatomical locations of the body for better and deeper penetration. It is one of the best ways to treat and detect soft tissue disorders.
The skilled intervention uses specialized tools to manipulate tendons, muscles, myofascial, and skin using different comprehensive techniques and strokes. This technique can be traced to Chinese medicine, where instruments were used to scrape the skin, causing red blemishes.
The use of instruments causes a breakdown of scar tissue and fascial restrictions. However, the instruments are designed ergonomically, providing clinicians with the capacity to locate all sorts of restrictions. The affected area can be treated by applying the right pressure.
When microtrauma is introduced to the affected areas, a local inflammatory response occurs, and microtrauma ends up initiating reabsorption of the inappropriate fibrosis or scar tissue. This causes a cascade of different healing activities that result in the remodeling of the affected tissue structures.
Adhesions in soft tissues can develop due to immobilization and surgery. It can also result from repetitive strain and other mechanisms. These adhesions are broken down using this technique, allowing functional restoration.
IASTM can be used on different conditions such as patellar tendinitis, plantar fasciitis, neck pain, carpal tunnel syndrome, muscle strains, ligament sprains, a chronic swelling of joints, musculoskeletal imbalances, heel pain, non-acute bursitis, back pain, hip pain, trigger finger, scars, ankle sprains, unhealed fractures among many others. A careful and skillful Yakima Injury Massage can accelerate healing and get you back to your old self.
At Acute Yakima Injury Massage, we offer solutions to bring back balance to your body. With the different disciplines we specialize in, we can help you get back to health and alleviate pain using different techniques.
