Carpal Tunnel Syndrome (CTS) is a common and often debilitating condition that affects the median nerve, which runs from the forearm into the palm of the hand. This condition arises when the nerve becomes compressed or irritated as it passes through the carpal tunnel—a narrow passageway in the wrist. If left untreated, CTS can lead to chronic pain, numbness, and even permanent nerve damage. The good news is that non-invasive treatments such as Myotherapy and Remedial Massage offer significant relief from CTS symptoms and can improve both short-term comfort and long-term function.

Dry needling is growing in popularity as an effective supplemental treatment technique used by physical therapists, athletic trainers, myotherapists and other specialists to treat injuries, manage pain, and speed recovery. This quick video provides a complete beginner's guide to understanding everything you need to know about dry needling. We'll cover what dry needling is, how it works, the conditions it can help treat, what to expect during treatment sessions, the many benefits it provides, and tips for finding a qualified dry needling practitioner in your area. Dry needling, also known as intramuscular stimulation or trigger point dry needling, relies on principles of anatomy and neuroscience to treat myofascial pain syndromes. It is not traditional Chinese acupuncture. The extremely thin disposable needles used in dry needling are inserted into tight bands of muscle fibers called trigger points. Needle stimulation of the trigger point provides immediate relief of the referred pain caused by the trigger point. Repeated dry needling treatments can provide lasting pain relief. Extensive research demonstrates dry needling performed by properly trained healthcare professionals is very safe and effective for treating many common chronic neuromuscular pain conditions like back pain, neck pain, tension headaches, tendinitis, arthritis, nerve pain and more. If you are dealing with an injury or chronic musculoskeletal condition causing pain and dysfunction, dry needling may provide the natural pain relief and improved function you need to heal and get back to regular activities. We’ll also discuss what to expect during your dry needling treatment sessions, the many potential benefits it provides, and tips for finding a qualified dry needling practitioner in your area. Dry needling is a proven treatment option for faster injury recovery and lasting relief of chronic muscle tightness and pain when performed correctly. hashtag#dryneedling hashtag#triggerpointtherapy hashtag#chronicpainrelief hashtag#painmanagement hashtag#injuryrecovery hashtag#myofascialrelease hashtag#acupuncture hashtag#physicaltherapy hashtag#naturalpainrelief hashtag#tensionrelief hashtag#mgrainerelief hashtag#headacherelief hashtag#backpainrelief hashtag#neckpainrelief hashtag#arthritisrelief hashtag#tendinitis hashtag#muscleknots hashtag#muscletightness hashtag#musclespasms hashtag#sciaticarelief hashtag#nervepain hashtag#alternativemedicine hashtag#holistichealth hashtag#athleticrecovery hashtag#mobility hashtag#healthandwellness

Do you deal with tightness and discomfort in your hips? Tight hip flexors could be the culprit. These important muscles connect your thighs to your pelvis and lower back. When they're tight, it can negatively impact your posture and mobility. The major hip flexor muscle is the psoas which attaches your femur to your lumbar spine. If it's tight, it can throw your whole body out of alignment. Luckily, there are some simple stretches you can do to target tight hip flexors and feel better. In this video, I demonstrate 3 key hip flexor stretches: Hip circles and marching to warm up the area Lunge stretch to target the psoas Runner's lunge for a deep psoas stretch Releasing tight hip flexors through stretching can help reduce lower back pain, improve posture, and allow you to move more freely. Try incorporating these 3 moves into your next workout or stretch session for some hip flexor relief! 🧘‍♀️🤸‍♀️ 🦵 #hipflexors #hipflexorstretch #psoasstretch #hipmobility #hippain #lowbackpain #flexibility #mobility #stretching #yoga #fitness #health #wellness #injuryprevention #alignment #posture #hipopening #hipflexibility #hipflexorrelief #hipflexortightness #chronichippain #hiphealth #hipflexorsyndrome #iliopsoas #psoasmajor #psoasminor

There are many potential benefits of pregnancy massage, including: Reduced stress and anxiety: Pregnancy can be a stressful time, both physically and emotionally. Massage therapy can help to reduce feelings of stress and anxiety, promoting a sense of relaxation and well-being. Pain relief: Many pregnant women experience aches and pains, particularly in the back, hips, and legs. Massage therapy can help to alleviate these discomforts, improving overall comfort and quality of life. Improved circulation: Pregnancy can cause swelling and fluid retention, particularly in the hands and feet. Massage therapy can improve circulation, helping to reduce swelling and promoting healthy blood flow throughout the body. Better sleep: Pregnancy can also disrupt sleep patterns, making it difficult to get adequate rest. Massage therapy can help to promote relaxation and improve sleep quality. Improved digestion: Pregnancy can cause digestive issues, such as constipation and heartburn. Massage therapy can help to stimulate the digestive system, promoting healthy digestion and reducing discomfort. Mood enhancement: Massage therapy can promote the release of endorphins, which are natural mood enhancers. This can help to improve overall mood and reduce feelings of anxiety and depression. It is important to note that not all pregnant women may experience these benefits, and that every pregnancy is different. 🤰👶🏼 #massage #remedialmassage #pregnancymassage #masagetherapy #myotherapy #musclepain #muscletherapy #massagetherapist #myotherapist #massagenorthcote #massagemelbourne #myotherapynorthcote #myotherapymelbourne #massagenearme #myotherapynearme #northcote #thornbury #fitzroy #fairfield #brunswick #preston (at Motion Myotherapy Northcote Remedial Massage Melbourne) https://www.instagram.com/p/Cp_urX3vYpy/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Deep tissue massage is a type of therapeutic massage that focuses on the deeper layers of muscles and connective tissues. This technique uses slow, deep pressure and friction to target the muscles and fascia (the connective tissue that surrounds muscles) to alleviate chronic pain, muscle tension, and adhesions (knots). Deep tissue massage can also improve blood flow, increase flexibility, and reduce inflammation. During a deep tissue massage, the therapist will use their fingers, thumbs, and even elbows and forearms to apply sustained pressure and slow strokes to the affected area. This pressure may cause some discomfort, but the therapist will work with you to ensure it is within your tolerance level. It is important to communicate with your therapist during the massage to ensure they are working within your comfort level. One of the key benefits of deep tissue massage is its ability to release tension and knots in the muscles. This is particularly useful for individuals who have chronic pain or stiffness in specific areas of their body. The therapist will work on the specific areas of tension, gradually breaking up the adhesions. Another benefit of deep tissue massage is its ability to improve blood flow to the targeted area. This increased circulation can help reduce inflammation and promote healing in the affected muscles and tissues. It is important to note that deep tissue massage may not be suitable for everyone, particularly those with certain medical conditions such as bleeding disorders or osteoporosis. Overall, deep tissue massage can be a powerful tool for improving your overall health and well-being. It can help alleviate chronic pain, reduce muscle tension, and improve your flexibility and mobility. If you are interested in deep tissue massage, be sure to seek out a qualified and experienced massage therapist who can provide you with the most effective treatment possible. 🤲💆🏼‍♂️💪 #massage #remedialmassage #sportsmassage #deeptissuemassage #massagetherapy #relaxationmassage #myotherapy #relaxation #selfcare #wellness #cuppingtherapy #massagemelbourne #massagenearme #northcote #thornbury #fitzroy #brunswick #ivanhoe #ivanhoe #preston (at Motion Myotherapy Northcote Remedial Massage Melbourne) https://www.instagram.com/p/CpvqrczvmOu/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
