About Massage Band
What is Massage Band?
Whether you stay at home, go to school, play sports, work in an office or work in the field. Everyone, at some point has an injury related to everyday life. When you injure muscles, a few things happen:
- The body creates an inflammatory response due to damage to surrounding healthy tissue. Swelling, bruising, pain and a loss of
movement may occur. The result is the healthy tissue being replaced by a far less pliable scar tissue. - Stress, either from over exertion or emotional stress can create an environment for prolonged semi-contracted muscles. This can cause pain, spasms, loss of flexibility, loss of range of motion, cramps, fatigue and
reduced muscle efficiency. - Adhesions can form as a result of the above mentioned. Adhesions bind healthy tissues to one another making the muscle perform less effectively by not allowing the muscles to contract or lengthen completely. This causes the muscle to fatigue quickly and feel weak.
Massage Band is a system that was created to effectively and efficiently mobilizes scar tissue, adhesions and reduces tension, while improving overall muscle and fascial health. It facilitates increased blood flow which allows more oxygen and nutrients to heal and repair exhausted or damaged tissue.
This patented method requires client participation with resistance bands. The client is guided through movements while receiving therapeutic soft tissue mobilization techniques by a “Massage Band Certified” body worker (Massage Therapist, Physical Therapist, Chiropractor or Athletic Trainer).
The best part of Massage Band is its efficiency (it works fast)! So, if you (body worker) or your client is pressed for time, it’s the perfect remedy. The technique is also 100% integrative. You can use Scraping (IASTM) or Graston, Deep Tissue, Cupping or just about any other modality that facilitates better mobility.
Frequently Asked Questions
Conventional techniques are “static” which means the client allows the therapist to do all of the work. With our method, the client is interactive and moving throughout the session. We allow the client to be in control during the session and the movements help activate their muscles to enable the therapist to address them efficiently and effectively. We do utilize traditional methods but the activation of muscles enhances and intensifies the experience.
The resistance bands enable us to put the client through different movements while activating the muscles in the areas of concern. All sessions are customized to the client and the weight of the resistance is fully adjustable. The resistance bands help speed up recovery and it does not require the therapist having to dig away at the muscles to find the issue. The resistance bands also enable education of the body during proper movements and allows the client to be a part of their healing process.
