Recovering from a Knee Injury

If you have had a significant knee injury, you may need pain relief, physical therapy, massage and other therapies such as aquatherapy to regain muscle balance.

We strongly caution against the use of opioids, except immediately after surgery, and in order to withstand the rigors of physical therapy in the first few days after therapy begins.

Please work with your physician, physical therapist, and massage therapist, to reduce the need for opioids within a short period of time after surgery. Addiction to these drugs can be devastating.

Neuromuscular massage can help you regain your range of motion and eliminate pain.

Without an obvious injury, knee pain is a sign that you’re experiencing some wear and tear on the cartilage that protects the femur (thigh bone), patella (knee cap), and tibia (lower leg bone).

Stop listening to the old adage, “no pain, no gain.” If there’s pain, stop the activity that is causing it, until the pain is relieved.

Arthritis is not as common in shoulders as it is in knees or hands, but it can cause pain with everyday activities such as driving.

Another problem with shoulder arthritis is that people tend to self-splint when where is pain which can result in loss of range of motion due to the constant tightening of the muscles used to splint against the pain.

Neuromuscular massage can help to maintain your range of motion and ease the pain of shoulder arthritis.

Shoulder pain

The shoulder is a complex joint that allows us to move our arms in a multitude of ways which is also why it is so easy to injure. One of the most common injuries to the shoulder is a rotator cuff injury or tear. The rotator cuff consists of 4 muscles and tendons that come from the scapula (shoulder blade) and attach around the head of the humerus (long arm bone). A tear may require surgery, but overuse can often cause pain that can be relieved with a good neuromuscular massage.
