What is massage therapy used for?

Massage therapy is used to help manage a health condition or enhance wellness. It involves manipulating the soft tissues of the body. Massage has been practiced in most cultures, both Eastern and Western, throughout human history, and was one of the earliest tools that people used to try to relieve pain.

What are the different types of massage?

The term “massage therapy” includes many techniques. The most common form of massage therapy in Western countries is called Swedish or classical massage; it is the core of most massage training programs. Other styles include sports massage, clinical massage to accomplish specific goals such as releasing muscle spasms, and massage traditions derived from Eastern cultures, such as Shiatsu and Tuina.

Do massages help pain?

Massage therapy has been studied for several types of pain, including low-back pain, neck and shoulder pain, pain from osteoarthritis of the knee, and headaches.

Tips for relieving pain from herniated discs

Exercise

There are special exercises and stretches, which help relieve the pain associated with a herniated disc. Our physical therapists can train you on performing these exercises properly to reduce the pressure on the disc and reduce pressure on the spine associated with poor mobility. As your spinal muscles become stronger, the pressure on the disc should lessen, causing the pain to ease.

Abdominal Strengthening Exercises

The following abdominal strengthening exercises are designed to improve the strength of the abdominal muscles (figure 1). You should discuss the suitability of these abdominal strengthening exercises with your physiotherapist prior to beginning them. Generally, they should only be performed provided they do not cause or increase pain.

Begin with the basic abdominal strengthening exercises. Once these are too easy, progress to the intermediate abdominal strengthening exercises and eventually the advanced abdominal exercises.

Abdominal Strengthening – Basic Exercises

To begin with, the following basic abdominal strengthening exercises can be performed daily. As your abdominal strength improves, the exercises can be progressed by gradually increasing the repetitions, frequency or duration of the exercises provided they do not cause or increase pain.

Transversus Abdominis Retraining

The transversus abdominis muscle is a key stabilizing muscle often used as part of a core stability, Pilates or rehabilitation program. Learning how to activate this muscle and then applying it to other exercises and daily activities is an important aspect of core stability. Slowly draw the section of your abdomen situated below your belly button upwards and inwards “away from your belt line” whilst breathing normally. Your rib cage should remain relaxed and should not elevate during this process. You should be able to feel the muscle contracting if you press deeply 2cm in from the bony prominence at the front of your pelvis (figure 2). Practise holding this muscle at 20 – 30% of a maximal contraction for 10 seconds and repeat 10 times. As your activation and control of this muscle improves, practice activating it during all other abdominal exercises and as long as possible during everyday activity.

Prone Hold

Begin this abdominal strengthening exercise propped up on your elbows and toes with your back straight as demonstrated (figure 3). Hold this position for as long as possible provided it is pain free and you are maintaining good posture. Repeat 3 times.

Side Holds

Begin this abdominal strengthening exercise propped up on one elbow and foot with your back straight as demonstrated (figure 4). Hold this position for as long as possible provided it is pain free and you are maintaining good posture. Repeat 3 times.
