Treating Sports Injuries
Injuries and pain happen. Clinical treatment of soft tissues using neuromuscular/trigger point release therapy to quickly get the body functioning without pain is Jody’s specialty. If you are undergoing rehabilitation from a sports injury, such as IT band injuries, hamstring pulls, goin pulls, low back pain, etc., then you can benefit from massage.
Benefits of massage for injuries include:
- Remove cellular waste
- Bring blood flow to the area, which helps to heal the tissue
- Reduce trigger points
- Make muscles more pliable, which increases flexibility
