How massage helps with muscle strains

A strain is a muscle or tendon that has been overstretched or torn. Once the first few days of rest are past, massage helps the muscle heal in a flexible, well-aligned way, reduces the tightness around the strain and restores normal movement.

Ken will assess the strain before treating, and adjusts the pressure to the stage of healing so the treatment helps rather than hinders recovery.

What a session involves

  • A chat about how and when the strain happened
  • Gentle massage of the strained muscle and the area around it
  • Pressure matched to the stage of healing
  • Advice on a gradual return to full activity
