Here are three clear examples of how massage therapy can help with rotator cuff injuries:

1. Reduces Muscle Tension and Pain
Rotator cuff injuries often cause surrounding muscles in the shoulder, neck, and upper back to tighten as they compensate for the weakened area. Massage therapy helps release these tight muscles, reducing pain and allowing for better mobility. Techniques like trigger point therapy can target specific knots that contribute to shoulder discomfort.

2. Improves Circulation and Healing
Massage increases blood flow to the injured area, delivering oxygen and essential nutrients that aid in tissue repair. This enhanced circulation also helps flush out metabolic waste products, reducing inflammation and speeding up recovery.

3. Restores Range of Motion and Flexibility
Scar tissue and stiffness are common with rotator cuff injuries, limiting mobility. Massage therapy, particularly myofascial release and stretching/ROM integration, helps break down adhesions and restores elasticity in the soft tissues. This allows the shoulder joint to move more freely, which is essential for both daily activities and athletic performance.

One common misconception is that massage therapy is solely for relaxation and stress relief. While it does promote relaxation, massage therapy also plays a crucial role in athletic recovery. Techniques such as deep tissue massage, myofascial release, and trigger point therapy are specifically designed to address muscle tension, improve circulation, and enhance flexibility, all of which are vital for athletes recovering from strenuous activities.

Sciatica:

Causes: Sciatica is caused by compression or irritation of the sciatic nerve, which runs from the lower back down through the legs. Common causes include herniated discs, spinal stenosis, or piriformis syndrome.

Symptoms: Sharp, shooting pain that radiates from the lower back down through the buttocks and legs. It can also cause numbness, tingling, and muscle weakness in the affected leg.

Massage Benefits: Reduction in nerve pain and inflammation, improved circulation, and relief from muscle spasms. Massage can also help improve posture and alleviate contributing factors to sciatica. RMA can help!

Understanding Tech Neck

Tech neck occurs when the neck muscles are strained from holding the head in a forward, downward position for extended periods. This posture is common among individuals who frequently use smartphones, tablets, and computers. Over time, this strain can lead to muscle imbalances, tension, and pain in the neck, shoulders, and upper back.

Regular massage therapy offers a comprehensive solution to combat tech neck, providing pain relief, improved posture, increased circulation, stress reduction, and enhanced range of motion. Book your session online today!

At RMA, we believe that there is strength in motion and power in recovery. When you get sidelined by pain or injury, it is always important to go through a process of repair of the injured tissue.

While working with the University of Texas men's and women's track and field teams, I was able to see the extreme benefits of regular targeted massage for over worked and injured muscular tissue in high performance athletes.
