Tips for choosing a massage therapist

Massage is a useful and even necessary procedure. The better the master, the more you will have to pay, because you shouldn’t skimp on your health. But price is not always the main indicator that the appointment is truly being conducted by a specialist.

It is necessary to consider the following information about the massage therapist:

• availability of medical education;
• availability of certificates;
• experience and several years of practice;
• reviews.

An experienced specialist offers a free trial massage session, always assesses the skin condition, and collects information about the client. You can study reviews of the specialist to get more information. A competent master always selects an individual and comprehensive approach to his client in order to truly provide assistance. It is not limited to just the back area, but works the entire body.

It is worth noting that after a professional massage, everything should not hurt. You should feel a pleasant tone. In rare cases, discomfort may be felt, but this is only after a therapeutic massage. Such sensations persist for several sessions and then disappear.

What do mistakes lead to?

Performing a back massage

, masters can make mistakes. They pose a serious danger to human health. Of course, massage will not help to completely recover from serious illnesses, but it will play a big role in recovery. To eliminate mistakes, you need to look for a competent specialist and visit special centers where all the necessary conditions have been created for the procedure.

What can happen if the procedure is performed by a non-professional:

1. Headache. The head area is considered the most vulnerable part of the body. The collar area needs to be worked carefully. It is in this area that important vessels and nerve endings are concentrated. A master without the appropriate education can do harm. One wrong move can crush the vessel. As a result, severe headaches appear in the future, and the cause of this is poor circulation.
2. Unpleasant sensations in the lumbar region and spine. Incorrect movements sometimes lead to disability. The reason for this is the unprofessional actions of the massage therapist who kneads the spinal column. To achieve positive results, you need to have an excellent knowledge of human anatomy. To do this, you should receive appropriate education. In addition, you need to find out why a person is bothered by lower back pain. Perhaps the reason for this is a serious illness.
3. Bruising. During a massage session there are not always pleasant sensations. But still, a person should not experience pain. Sometimes small bruises remain after an anti-cellulite massage. The reason is active manual influence. Aggressive movements lead to damage to blood vessels, and in such cases it will take a long time to recover, which is really upsetting.
4. Skin problems. During a session with a massage therapist, various oils are used. Please note that they are not suitable for all people. You may be allergic to oils. If the skin is problematic, then unpleasant rashes appear. The result depends only on the quality of the product and the actions of the massage therapist. An experienced master always evaluates the condition of the skin before starting a session to make sure there is no inflammation or other problems. The presence or absence of allergies must be clarified.
5. Leg pain. Sometimes a person feels pain in one leg or the other, and the reason for this is problems with the spine. You need to understand that not all diseases can be treated with massage. If before the session the specialist did not conduct a survey or clarify the presence of any diagnosis, he may make mistakes, and his actions will cause pain. You definitely need to observe how the master behaves at the reception. If in doubt, it is better to refuse the session and find another specialist.

Do healthy people need massage?

A restorative massage can be performed by everyone.
This will eliminate overstrain, improve blood circulation, and fight fatigue. An experienced master always offers several options for influence. Some massage therapists are ready to develop an individual course. Even a healthy person can and should undergo this procedure at least 2-3 times a year. The duration is selected individually. A professional takes into account your body type, health status, and the area that needs to be worked out well. Author: K.M.N., Academician of the Russian Academy of Medical Sciences M.A. Bobyr

Pain relief medications

To make the pain go away after a massage, you can use medications in the form of ointments, emulsions, and creams. It is better to consult with your doctor about which remedy is best to use in each specific case. The table below lists the drugs that are most often used for these purposes, but it must be taken into account that each of them has its own contraindications (the list of contraindications can be found in the instructions).

Medicines to relieve pain after massage

Apply gels and ointments with gentle stroking movements until completely absorbed, up to 2-3 times a day. The recommended duration of use without consulting a doctor is 3-5 days.

If there is no effect from local application, it is allowed to take drugs from the group of non-narcotic analgesics in the form of tablets or capsules (“Analgin”, “Baralgin”).

"Baralgin"

You can take these medications for no more than 2-3 days: if after this period the pain does not go away, you need to go to the hospital to exclude possible pathologies.

Video - Muscles hurt after a massage

Pain after a massage is a common occurrence and may well be of a physiological nature. If the unpleasant sensations do not go away within 2-3 days after the session, and after each subsequent procedure they become stronger, you should seek the help of a specialist: perhaps the massage is performed incorrectly, or the patient has contraindications for it.

Sometimes a massage is simply necessary, but a specialist does not have the opportunity to complete the full course. In this case, it is recommended to learn a simple self-massage technique to knead your neck and shoulders on your own. Detailed information can be read in this article.

Knee massage

Knee massage

• stimulation of blood and lymph flow;
• pain reduction;
• ensuring rapid resorption of blood clots;
• restoration of leg mobility.

First, the thigh muscles are massaged. After this, massage is performed for tendinitis of the knee joint. Next, the effect is carried out on the tibialis anterior muscle. Movements used:

• stroking;
• rubbing;
• kneading;
• vibration.

Directly the place where the source of pain is localized is massaged from the 4th-5th day of illness. Knee joint massage goes well with thermal treatments. The procedure is completed by stroking the area from the back of the foot to the knee.

Causes of edema

The main reasons are as follows:

• improper metabolism, allergies, excess weight, problems with the cardiovascular system;
• uncomfortable position of the body and head during sleep, insomnia, chronic lack of sleep;
• dietary disorders: insufficient or excessive fluid intake, love of salty and spicy foods;
• overwork and stress;
• smoking and drinking alcohol.

Severe swelling of the facial skin, as a rule, is not a cosmetic, but a medical problem. It is important to eliminate the causes if possible: for example, normalize sleep, limit alcohol consumption and start eating right.

If there are no health problems, but, for example, your face is swollen after sleeping in an uncomfortable position and you are looking for how to relieve these symptoms, you can wash your face with cool water or wipe the problem area with ice, do a light massage (it will improve blood and lymph flow ). If the problem of swelling occurs frequently, contact a cosmetologist - he will select an effective correction scheme.

Periarthritis of the knee

Therapeutic massage of the knee joint helps to cope with periarthritis. This is a group of diseases in which the soft tissues surrounding the knee become inflamed. These are usually where the tendons attach to the bone. The main symptom is pain. It develops as a result of the progression of degenerative processes and the development of reactive inflammation.

The causes of periarthritis of the knee are most often tendinitis or tendobursitis, which develops at the site of fixation of the pes anserine tendons. The inner surface of the knee hurts.

Purposes of massage:

Treatment methods

Mesotherapy

An injection technique that allows you to saturate the deep layers of the skin with useful substances. Vitamin “cocktails” are administered through special thin needles. Blood supply to tissues improves, facial contour becomes clearer.

Vacuum massage

The effect of vacuum is deeper than a regular massage. The main thing this procedure is based on is the ability of a vacuum to activate metabolic processes. The dermis is saturated with oxygen, blood circulation increases - as a result, swelling disappears. We use the modern IONTO-BEAUTY TOWER CONCEPT device - reliable and safe.

Electromicrolifting

An effective hardware technique that combines the benefits of massage and microcurrent treatment. Improves cellular metabolism, saturates tissues with oxygen. Patients do not experience discomfort during the process - electromicrolifting is painless and safe.

Microcurrent therapy

Treatment with low-frequency electrical impulses. The principle of action is similar to electromicrolifting - the therapeutic effect is based on the ability of electric current to stimulate metabolic processes in tissues.

Aikun laser

Laser radiation has a remarkable therapeutic effect - it stimulates the production of collagen and elastin. Additionally, this effect is enhanced by lymphatic drainage massage - the nozzles of the device gently vibrate during the treatment.

Usually the result is visible after the first procedure; for a more lasting effect, a course of 3-5 sessions is needed (in some cases more).

Plasma therapy

Injecting your own plasma under the skin is an effective rejuvenating procedure. Plasma has a surprisingly rich composition - it includes vitamins, microelements, enzymes that accelerate cellular metabolism and increase skin elasticity. This procedure is also called auto-rejuvenation. Its most important advantage is complete biocompatibility and the absence of contraindications.

massage

massage

• relieve pain and inflammation;
• reduce swelling;
• ensure the outflow of lymph and prevent its accumulation in the periarticular tissue;
• relieve pain;
• ensure normal trophism of soft tissue structures and their regeneration.

Massage movements are carried out in the direction from the proximal part of the limb to the distal one. First, they stroke, then vigorously rub and lightly vibrate. The strongest effect is on the places of fixation of tendon structures to bone tissue. Be sure to warm up the muscles of the thigh and lower leg. Finish the massage with stroking. After the procedure, movements are performed in the knee.

Diagnosis and clinical symptoms

Diagnostic measures for edematous syndrome are not particularly difficult. This condition has certain manifestations, including changes and thickening of the skin. It gets colder or warmer. After pressing, a “dimple” remains, which disappears after a while.

To recognize edematous syndrome, a comprehensive examination is prescribed, which includes:

• serum protein electrophoresis;
• determination of T3 and TA in blood serum;
• liver function tests.

A radioimmunoassay test is also performed to determine TSH in the blood serum. The patient is required to undergo a chest x-ray, electrocardiography and CT scan of the chest. The doctor may order Doppler ultrasound of the veins, cardiac angiography, renal tomography and lymphangiography.

If therapeutic measures have not been taken, then the patient's condition worsens. There is rapid weight gain and thickening of tissues, which in consistency resemble soft dough. The easiest way to diagnose is asymmetrical lymphedema, which is a typical sign, for example, swelling of the arm due to cancer or an increase in the volume of the foot. At the same time, it becomes impossible to gather the skin into a fold.

The clinical picture depends on the affected area:

• Lung cancer
  . Accompanied by intense penetration of fluid into nearby tissues. Edema in lung cancer is hidden in nature - the volume of urine decreases and body weight increases slightly. With lung cancer, swelling of the legs occurs and signs such as dryness and excessive peeling of the skin occur. After pressing on the skin of the legs, a small depression appears, which disappears after a short period of time.
• Breast cancer
  . Accompanied by the development of lymphostasis - difficulty in the outflow of lymphoid fluid. With this complication, the volume of the upper limbs and mammary glands increases. There is a risk of developing irreparable consequences caused by disruption of microcirculation processes. The appearance of trophic ulcers and sepsis (with the development of an infectious disease) is possible.
• Liver cancer
  . A malignant tumor is accompanied by swelling of the legs and lumbar region, which is associated with damage to the lymph nodes or thrombosis of the inferior vena cava. In this case, rapidly progressing ascites also appears. This is accompanied by an increase in abdominal volume and intra-abdominal pressure. The patient's condition worsens and characteristic shortness of breath occurs.

Legs with cancer may swell when undergoing radiotherapy to the area of ​​the inguinal lymph nodes. Large malignant tumors also block the outflow of lymph, which can lead to its accumulation. The progression of the pathological process leads to cyanosis, in which marble stains appear. The condition is accompanied by severe pain and limitation of motor activity.

Swelling muscles compressing blood vessels cause the development of secondary venous thrombosis. This aggravates the patient's suffering and leads to the migration of thrombotic masses into the pulmonary vessels, which poses a threat of death.
