Can Massage Therapy Treat Fracture Injuries?
Massage therapy treatment can help maintain and improve tissue health in a fracture injury, enabling a person to regain his or her full function sooner. Massage therapy is a treatment option which can reduce pain and discomfort in the soft tissue surrounding a fracture injury, and it can also assist in reducing edema and muscle tension of both the affected and compensating structures. When a massage therapy treatment plan is carried out correctly, once the cast is removed, a client can regain full function sooner as the health and mobility of compensating muscles has been addressed.
