Sports Massage
Chinese sports medicine combines the modalities of acupuncture, external herbal applications, and sports massage to alleviate the chronic pain and weakness of old injuries as well as speeding the recovery of more acute cases. In the case of acute trauma, gentle application of acupuncture and massage can help increase circulation to the injured area, removing the damaged cells and tissues that accumulate in the area during the initial swelling and inflammatory phase. As the recovery moves into the first weeks following the injury, these therapies offer the body continued reminders of the need to focus its healing efforts on the original site, to alleviate any point of potentially chronic weakness. By balancing the surrounding muscles and maintaining increased circulation in the ligaments and tendons, the muscles are able to retrain themselves after the trauma, and the patient is able to more quickly return to activity and the rehabilitative process. The application of external Chinese herbs is effectively paired with acupuncture to provide a complete approach to the problem area, treating from both the exterior as well as from within the damaged tissues themselves.
