Repetitive strain injury is a condition that is caused by repeated movements, causing the soft tissues to tear. People who do such activities as office workers, dentists, and hair stylists are at high risk of developing this condition. Even if you do not perform a physically demanding occupation, massage can help you recover quickly. This treatment can be used in conjunction with other treatments. A massage can help you heal quickly, depending on the nature of your repetitive motions.

## Rotator cuff injury
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|

This allows for a return to normal activities. The physical therapist will determine what type of injury you have and recommend the best course of action. Massage therapy will most likely improve range of motion and reduce pain.

An injury to the rotator cuff can be either acute or chronic. It can result from repetitive physical activities, such as lifting or reaching. It could also be caused by your sleeping position. While massage therapy can help with the pain, it is important to see a doctor as soon as possible to determine the right course of treatment. A physiotherapist can perform diagnostic tests such as an x-ray and ultrasound to help determine the severity of the injury. Sometimes, a doctor will order an MRI to assess the extent of the injury. A scan will also provide a better understanding of the structure of the shoulder joint, which will help your therapist determine the best course of treatment.

## Overuse syndrome
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Overuse syndrome is a painful condition that affects the arms and hands. It is characterized by pain in the wrist, which may radiate to the hand, palm, index finger, third finger, and the adjoining half of the ring finger. Pain may also be felt along the median nerve innervation path. Many therapists feel pain when they do various tasks such as writing, turning a faucet, or rolling a car window. Overuse syndrome usually develops slowly and may only be evident with a sudden increase in workload or decrease in time between massages.

[Physical therapy is the best treatment for overuse injuries](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/11831132/). Ice and anti-inflammatory medication are effective, but physical therapy can correct the underlying cause of the injury and improve overall health. Sports massage is specifically designed to target specific muscles used in a particular sport, and can help athletes recover from injuries caused by overuse. Massage therapy promotes healing and helps the body to regain its natural alignment. Incorrect training can also lead to overuse injuries.

## Deep tissue massage
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
It is best to consult a doctor before you book a deep tissue massage for injury. Some people may develop a bone condition after deep tissue massage. Deep tissue massage should be avoided by people with heart conditions and those who have had a recent fracture. People with high blood pressure are at risk of further injury. People with diabetes are also at higher risk for further injury. Also, deep tissue massage might interact with certain prescription drugs.

The goal of deep tissue massage is to release chronic muscle tension and pain, and relieve physical and psychological pain. Deep tissue massage is best for injuries but it can also help you relax your mind. One 2014 study found that deep tissue massage was comparable to nonsteroidal antiinflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) such as ibuprofen in reducing pain. The main differences between deep tissue massage and Swedish massage are their focus and the pressure they apply.

## Neuromuscular therapy
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Neuromuscular therapy for injuries can be a very effective way to reduce pain due to a variety of conditions, including soft tissue injuries and acute trauma. In addition to relieving pain, it can also help clients learn how to strengthen their muscles and change their lifestyle to reduce pain and improve their quality of life.

This involves manipulating the nervous systems to help patients regain their range of motion, proprioception and strength. When a muscle is injured, the resulting pain can make it difficult to maintain proper posture, function properly, or move at all. The general pain and aches of the body can be reduced with neuromuscular treatment. Neuromuscular therapy can ease pain and allow patients to live more freely. |
