Whether you are recovering from surgery, or from an acute injury... the goals are similar. You will be dealing with:

• Inflammation
• Formation of adhesions (i.e. sticky bonds in and between tissues)
• Reduced range of motion
• Scar Tissue formation
• Pain

Typically, most people end up taking pain-killers and greatly reducing activity. But the body is made to move. Moving the body helps circulation of both blood and waste products, moving them where they need to go. Movement also helps to prevent tissue atrophy and the development of adhesions (i.e. sticky bonds). This normal healing process that the body uses can be enhanced by massage.

Massage for injury healing and surgery rehabilitation is focused on:

• Reducing inflammation
• Preventing adhesions from forming
• Regaining or preventing loss of normal range of motion
• Molding scar tissue as it forms to prevent future restrictions

There is no reason to let your healing process drag on. Treatment massage will help you heal more quickly and get you back to doing the things in life you enjoy. And since doing the things you enjoy is what life is all about, why would you want to delay? Accelerate your healing by picking up the phone and calling (206) 234-9929 to make an appointment.
