How Massage can Help?
Research has shown massage to be an effective means of pain relief and we at Empower have found using this in combination with exercise & education yields greater benefits than massage alone.
We introduce different massage techniques depending on your pain and previous experiences with treatment- ranging from soft to firm treatments, Incorporating passive and active techniques to improve movement & increase confidence.
Benefits of Massage:
Useful for short-term pain relief.
Showing that your pain can change & you are capable of coming out of pain.
Helpful in kick-starting movement --> return to regular activity
Massage can also lead to the release of chemicals that promote feelings of wellness and pain relief, therefore can be beneficial for reducing stress and anxiety, through "therapeutic touch" (connection)
Massage does not have to be painful to be effective!
