Massage Therapy by a RMT or Registered Massage Therapist can work with more than just our muscle knots and soft tissue.
What soft tissue structures does massage therapy affect?
Anyone who answered "muscle" is correct. Anyone who said "Muscle and dense connective tissue such as tendons and ligaments, and irregular or loose tissue such as fascia, articular capsules and aponeuroses" is also correct!
The primary connective tissue structures treated are regular or dense tissues such as tendons and ligaments, and irregular tissue such as fascia, intrinsic elements of muscle, articular capsules, and aponeuroses.
Now take these structures and add in an injury which results in adherent and inextensible scar tissue which resulted from abnormal remodeling stimuli eg. inactivity. This 'tight' scar tissue can result in chronic inflammation and my interfere with nerve conduction and fluid movement. With abnormal fluid movement you get a build up of waste products in the area.
As Registered Massage Therapist or Soft Tissue Therapist our techniques can help remodel this scare tissue and get the fluid moving and increase the health of the nervous tissue.
This will help shorten to injury healing time and get you back to full funtion.
