Sports Massage is a massage technique that’s mainly used to treat musculoskeletal issues, such as strains and sports injuries.

It involves applying sustained pressure using slow, deep strokes to target the inner layers of your muscles and connective tissues.

This helps to break up scar tissue that forms following an injury and reduce tension in muscle and tissue.

It may also promote faster healing by increasing blood flow and reducing inflammation.

Sports massage caters to athletic patients of all types, professional, collegiate, and high-school level players – even people who exercise regularly and have an active lifestyle.

Sports massage therapy is a more focused deep tissue massage and may focus on a certain area of the body.

It uses a combination of deep and light modalities to loosen muscle knots, improve blood flow, and prevent lactic acid buildup.

Lymphatic drainage (or compression massage, lymphatic massage, pressure therapy or pneumatic compression therapy) is a painless, non-invasive and relaxing physiotherapeutic procedure.

Lymphatic drainage has been used to treat oedemas since the 1930s, but with time and the development of devices, other applications of drainage have been discovered: this treatment works well as a form of active regeneration of athletes (amateurs, semi-professionals and professionals), and more and more.

Often we find it in the offer of Wellness & Beauty salons, where its anti-cellulite, skin firming and body slimming properties are appreciated.

The World of Massage and Physiotherapy offers a mechanical lymphatic drainage performes by lymphatic drainage devices.

The aims of the treatment include:

– improving blood and lymph circulation,
– pushing the residual lymph towards the lymph nodes,
– removal of lymphatic oedema and exudates,
– improving the nutrition and oxygenation of the skin and other tissues,
– removal of toxins from the body.

Duration: up to 60 min.

Massage cupping has been around for the last 5000 years. It’s used by acupuncturists and massage therapists to treat disorders ranging from frozen shoulder to the common cold with great results.

In the case of cellulite, just like the famous endermologie, we use cups to create suction and roll and lift the tissue to loosen connective tissue adhesions and drain excess fluids and toxins out of the body. Ironing out the bumps makes the skin look better right away and also reduces further accumulations.

As toxins and fluid are drained out, fresh blood and oxygen flood the tissue, providing nutrients and collagen to strengthen the skin and smooth out the foundation over which fat cells lie.

The rolling motion breaks up the fat cell clusters, allowing blood to flow freely and thus making this fat available as fuel. This explains why even slim women can have cellulite: once a cluster is formed, it becomes hard to access by the body and it is unlikely to be used as fuel, hence staying in place for years.

By promoting movement and lifting and rolling the tissue, this treatment helps slim out the cellulitic areas by allowing the fat deposits to be burnt during exercise and daily activities.

Duration : up to 45 min

What is laser therapy?

L.A.S.E.R stands for Light Amplification by Stimulated Emission of Radiation. Laser Therapy involves applying low intensity laser light to relieve pain following damage to soft tissue. Laser therapy facilitates tissue repair and restores normal cell function.

Low level therapy involves using an infra-red spectrum which penetrates the skin and stimulates the cells within muscles, tendons or ligaments, promoting healing.

The method of application will depend on your presenting condition. A treatment head or probe is usually applied directly to the tissue being treated. The amount of energy exposed to the tissue is controlled by the physiotherapist.

When we use it?

Laser therapy can be used to treat:

• Soft tissue and sports injuries such as muscle strains and ligament strains.
• Repetitive stress injuries such as tendinitis, bursitis and carpal tunnel syndrome
• Arthritic conditions such as osteoarthritis and rheumatoid arthritis
• Tissue repair and wound healing such as burns and ulcers.
• Regeneration of nerves e.g. the treatment of Bell?s Palsy (paralysis of one side of the face).
• Temporomandibular Disorder

Benefit of laser therapy

• Laser therapy can be used for a wide range of conditions and will help reduce pain and inflammation following injury. The following benefits may include:
• Stimulation of wound healing in various types of open wounds
• Treatment of various arthritic conditions
• Treatment of soft tissue injuries
• Pain relief
• It is also a safe alternative to pain medication and can reduce healing time.

The physiotherapist at The World of Massage and Physiotherapy may use laser therapy to treat your condition. For more information or to book an assessment please call 07450504081. You can also book in for assessments online today!

Electrotherapy is the application of an electric current to the affected area of the body to accelerate healing and reduce swelling and pain.

Electrotherapy is used by our experienced physiotherapist at The World of Massage and Physiotherapy to treat a variety of conditions. The type of electrotherapy you receive at The World of Massage and Physiotherapy will depend on your individual injury and the stage of healing.

At The World of Massage and Physiotherapy, electrotherapy is combined with other treatment techniques such as manual therapy and exercise for the best possible results.

If you would like more information on electrotherapy, or to book an appointment please call The World of Massage and Physiotherapy today on 07450504081. Or alternatively, make your appointment online.

At The Worldof Massage and Physiotherapy, we use different types of electrotherapy including:

• Electrical Muscular Stimulation (EMS)
• Interferential
• Fuctional Electrical or Neuromuscular Stimulation (FES)
• T.E.N.S
• Low Intensity Pulsed Ultrasound (LIPUS)
• Pulsed Shortwave Diathermy (PSWD)

What is ultrasound?

Ultrasound promotes healing and reduces inflammation at a cellular level. An ultrasound machine creates mechanical sound waves that produce energy, which when they enter the skin cause micro vibrations in the cells improving tissue healing and reducing pain.

During ultrasound treatment an ultrasound head is placed onto the affected area using specialised gel, which ensures maximum contact between the head and the skin, and slowly moved. Ultrasound is a painless treatment used to promote the healing process following an acute injury or a chronic condition. Ultrasound is commonly used to treat soft tissue problems such as ligament sprains or muscle tears.

When we use ultrasound?

Ultrasound is used for acute and chronic conditions.

Ultrasound uses different frequencies depending on the depth of the tissue and can be pulsed or continuous depending on the type of injury or condition.

Acute Injuries

When a person suffers from an injury, joints or soft tissue may become swollen and painful. Ultrasound will speed up the rate of healing, enhance the quality of repair and increase the strength of the soft tissue. For an acute injury ultrasound may be pulsed with a low intensity.

Ultrasound can also improve the way collagen is laid down when tissue is trying to repair itself and therefore increase strength and enhance scar mobility.

Chronic Injuries

Ultrasound for chronic conditions will increase blood flow to the affected area and kick start the healing process and decrease pain. Ultrasound may be used in a continuous mode to create this effect.

Benefits of ultrasound

Ultrasound treatment can be used for a wide range of conditions and will help:

• Promote tissue healing
• Improve quality of repair
• Decrease pain
• Ligaments, tendons, fascia, joint capsules and scar tissue contain large amounts of collagen and therefore absorb the ultrasound better and benefit from this type of treatment.

The physiotherapist at The World of Massage and Physiotherapy may use ultrasound to treat your condition. For more information or to book an assessment please call 07450504081. You can also book an assessment or appointment with The World of Massage and Physiotherapy online today!

The physiotherapist can also teach you how to apply the tape yourself so you can continue to experience the benefit.

What are the benefits of taping?

The benefits of taping will depend on your injury. Your physiotherapists will aim to encourage some of the following benefits:

• Protection of injured soft tissue structures (ligaments, tendons, fascia)
• Injury prevention
• Encourage normal movement
• Quicker return to sport or work
• Pain reduction
• Improves the stability of a joint

How can taping help me?

Whether you are recovering from an injury or would like to use taping as an injury prevention technique, taping can help you in the following ways:

• Helps to reduce pain by stimulating movement detectors in the nerve (mechanoreceptors) which stop messages passing via pain receptors (nociceptors)
• Restrict movements that may cause further damage to an existing injury
• Facilitate the normal healing process of soft tissues
• Support and protect the muscles surrounding an injured joint
• Remove the pressure from an injury
• Helps to reduce swelling
• Provide feedback to the area to correct any abnormal movements
• Provide proprioception (awareness of joints position) to reduce the risk of re injury
• Improve the coordination of a joint that may be reduced by injury

If you feel like you may benefit from taping in physiotherapy treatment, then please call The World of Massage and Physiotherapy today on 07450504081 today arrange a full assessment. You can also do this online today via our online booking system.
