Muscle Strain Overview – Ravel Therapies Massage Limassol

Muscles can strain for a number of reasons., ranging from trauma, as in an accident to chronic overuse, as in repetitive strain injury. Orthopaedic massage is very helpful in the healing process, as it is specific and applied correctly to suit the phase of the injury. If you have a muscle strain, improve your chances of full recovery by booking in with Ravel Therapies Massage Limassol.

Muscles are made up of muscle fibres. When a muscle is strained, a number of fibres are torn. The number of fibres torn roughly determines the grade of the strain. For example, muscle strains with about 5% of fibres torn are considered to be Grade I strains. At the other end of the scale, strains with over 50% fibres torn are considered to be Grade III strains and may require surgical intervention.

Muscle strain treatment – Massage Limassol in Cyprus

At our massage Limassol clinic in Cyprus, the treatment provided by our orthopaedic massage therapist varies to suit the nature and stage of the injury.

Massage strokes during the acute phase are often feather light, and are designed to prevent newly formed scar tissue from bedding down strongly. Often, no massage is provided over the affected area at all until the sub-acute stage, which is a few days later.

In the sub-acute stage, strokes can be slightly deeper, and the objective in this stage is to begin to align newly forming fibres correctly and continue to reduce inflammation and pain.

In the chronic stage, massage strokes are deeper, and muscles are stretched to help normalize the length and function of muscle fibres.
