Therapeutic Massage
Therapeutic Deep Tissue or Relaxation massage is where both the client and practitioner have a shared goal of achieving structural changes within the body, often through a series of regular massages.
The therapist follows a four steps process, where they:
-
Assess your current condition by taking a history of how long have you experienced the pain. The therapist may also observe the way you move and test your range of motion.
-
Propose a plan. Once the therapist has a good idea of your condition, they can propose an approach to treatment. The therapist might recommend a series of sessions at recommended intervals and indicate the kind of progress you can expect during that time. If appropriate, the therapist might refer you to another health professional for further assessment and treatment.
-
Perform the therapy. This is the actual massage, or treatment, based on the assessment and the plan you have agreed to.
-
Evaluate the outcome. At the end of the treatment, you and the therapist review the results. On the basis of the results, the therapist can recommend additional sessions and the frequency. If you come every week, for instance, you'll see quicker progress than if you wait two or three weeks between sessions. An evaluation will take place at the end of each session to determine the continued course of therapy.
