Sports Massage Therapists Working with Minor Injuries

http://www.alohamassageschool.com

It can be a little nerve-wracking when a patient comes to you suffering from road rash, sprains, and other minor injuries from sports. After all, you’re not quite a nurse, but you are expected to heal. The first thing to do as a sports massage therapist is to be the calm source of comfort for the patient, then attend to your responsibilities.

Your first task is to assess the patient’s injuries and, if necessary, refer them somewhere else if their pain or wounds need closer medical examination, like x-rays or stitches. You don’t have to send the patient away for any broken skin; you can use basic first aid for those minor injuries. However, remember never to massage on or close to open wounds.

Always remind the patient to keep hydrating during the healing process. Your mission as a sports massage therapist is to prevent secondary injuries, which are the onset of swelling. By doing this, you can also help prevent cellulitis, which is the rare internal infection of cells and tissue.

The acronym to remember when doing sports massage on minor injuries is R.I.C.E.—Rest, Ice, Compression, and Elevation. The patient should not be exerting himself. Ice a wound for 20 minutes at most out of the hour, or until the area is numb. An ace bandage is a good example of compression—both compression and elevation help prevent fluid buildup (swelling) around a wound. To prevent secondary injury is to heal the athlete more quickly and more painlessly!

You don’t know how, but suddenly your neck tension is worse than it has ever been. If your shoulder blades were squeezed any tighter together, your spine would cease to exist… and your lower back has never seized up this bad or this often. Not only do you have to get away from the office, but you have to find some way to stretch or something, so that it’s not worse tomorrow. But what about taking comfort in the sound of ocean waves and a relaxing chair massage?

You can get a massage right on the beach in Maui, Hawaii, where the ocean waves are peacefully lapping the shore. The fine sand will gently exfoliate your feet as you walk out to a chair massage. A chair massage is the perfect solution for stress and tension, because it gives you the opportunity to completely let go, while not getting so relaxed that you’re tempted to go to sleep for the rest of the day, like being on a massage table might.

The sound of ocean waves have actually been proven to relax people and make them more at peace, along with the sounds of wind and rain. The chair massage and ocean sounds will create inner piece as well as outer body peace, making all your troubles float away and be replaced with positive thoughts.

All the while, a trained massage therapist is targeting your most tense areas and putting you on the road to perfect health and better joints. It is very important to have a professional therapist. Even if you make an appointment with a massage student, it will be much better for you than someone who doesn’t have much experience or knowledge of the craft at all. By not knowing the physiological details of the art, an amateur can actually do more harm to your body than good.

Once you make an appointment, if you can’t actually get down to Maui, Hawaii to the ocean side, have the massage therapist come you your house with the massage chair and a tape or CD of relaxing ocean sounds. It will be almost as good as the real thing, without the smell of seaweed and salt, and you’ll end up just as relaxed. Enjoy your beach chair massage, even if it takes place in the comfort of your own home!

During the second term, students really dig deep into clinical practice and the business side of massage. Some more specific studies also begin, like prenatal and orthopedic massage, ortho bionomy, treatment and pathology, and neuromuscular therapy. You will also gain some free time to set up your own practice of Lomi Lomi massage in Hawaii and use what you’ve learned during student clinic times.

Lomi Lomi, which is a very popular form of massage, concentrates mostly on the joints, moving body parts rhythmically so as to dispel tension. It usually has a rejuvenating effect on the patient, and is typically practiced in the patient’s own home, rather than a clinic or parlor. With the strength of thought and the spirit of Aloha combined with this treatment, there is nothing more powerful than the techniques of Lomi Lomi massage in Hawaii. Since it has been gaining recognition, your clients will be even more impressed with your skill.

For all this, the Aloha School of Massage Therapy is very reasonably priced, and you will be happy to spend your time getting your massage degree in Maui, Hawaii. You will also feel great about helping heal people and being a positive presence in their lives in general, because massage is a powerful tool that can influence the mind and spirit as well as the body.
