Sports Therapy Techniques

Sports Therapy Techniques aid in soft tissue release which involves locking and stretching the tissues and muscles. It includes neuromuscular techniques, by targeting trigger points in the nervous system to release pain and tension. Positional release which is used to release hyperactive muscle compartments and fibres. Myofascial meridian release which involves deep slow targeted kneading to release connective fascia and tissue around the body's musculoskeletal system.

Deep Tissue Therapy

Deep tissue massage breaks down scar tissue, adhesions, trigger points and reflex points; it can also help to loosen muscles, release toxins and allow blood and oxygen to circulate effectively.

Diabetes and Massage: Benefits of Healthy Touch​

There are many benefits of massage therapy to the diabetic patient, including improved
circulation, relaxation, and increased mobility and flexibility.

First, circulation. Increased circulation can improve cellular intake of glucose and insulin
utilization; additionally, according to research titled “Connective Tissue Reflex Massage for
Type 2 Diabetic Patients with Peripheral Arterial Disease: Randomized Controlled
Trial,” connective tissue massage improved blood circulation in the lower limbs of Type-2
diabetic patients, and researchers found massage may be useful in slowing the progression of
peripheral arterial disease.

Second, relaxation. The relaxation effected by massage can help relief the stress attendant
with having chronic disease; massage calms the nervous system.

Third, mobility. The positive myofascial effects of massage therapy can increase mobility and
tissue elasticity.

I advise four goals to achieve with massage protocols for diabetics:

  1. Free restrictions of thick connective tissues, thereby increasing mobility of the patient.
  2. Improve tissue elasticity, which enhances mobility and the metabolic capacity of the
    tissues.
  3. Lower blood glucose levels as metabolism improves.
  4. Improve effects of stress upon the body due to the chronic nature and effects of the
    condition systemically.
