Sports Massage Los Angeles, Santa Monica, and Redondo Beach<\/strong><\/h3>\n

<\/span> Erik Gray specializes in of sports massage and neuromuscular therapy in Los Angeles and two other locations. Remember this: Muscles move bones and not the other way around. This is a fundamental truth of any musculoskeletal system. Therapies that ignore this fact play a hazardous and expensive game of roulette with their client\u2019s healing process. Simply forcing the skeletal structure back into orthographic alignment through mechanical manipulation ignores this rule. Unless the chronic spasm in the affected tissue is calmed first the problem is almost guaranteed to return. If you are a high performance athlete, gymnast, dancer, performer or runner who challenges the limits of your body daily, this is not a game you want to play.<\/p>\n

For the treatment of\u00a0athletes, I use a specific form of sports massage therapy\u00a0at Gray\u2019s Anatomy L.A. There is a five-stage rehabilitation process.\u00a0 It is my experience that if these five steps are performed in sequence flare-ups and\u00a0relapse\u00a0can be avoided.<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"Arrow-Icoin\" Remove chronic muscle spasm\"Massage\"<\/p>\n

\"Arrow-Icoin\" Restore range of motion without the pain<\/p>\n

\"Arrow-Icoin\" Increase flexibility<\/p>\n

\"Arrow-Icoin\" Improve strength of compromised areas<\/p>\n

\"Arrow-Icoin\" Endurance training<\/p>\n

In 80% of the patients treated if this pattern is followed, relapse can be avoided. The difficulty with most physical therapy programs is that they are designed to start the patient's therapeutic program roughly halfway between steps three and four. This is due to a pre-determined rehab protocol determined by allopathic medical standards that has yielded favorable results for most, but to for all patiences it is applied to. This has more to do with what insurance companies dictate that they will reimburse the healthcare provider for and less to do with what most healthcare provides would like to do to help their clients.<\/p>\n

Remember: If the above order is performed out of sequence, re-injury is almost guaranteed. If the muscle spasm that is provoking the soft tissue problem is not calmed, the problem will come back.<\/p>\n

After working in a busy rehab clinic for over six years as head of the soft tissue department, The primary complaint heard from clients was: \u201cMandatory P.T. and strength training was actually making me worse!\u201d They said they 'put-up' with their required P.T. sessions just to receive neuromuscular therapy and sports massage therapy\u00a0later in there session.<\/p>\n

Before beginning a program aimed toward improving your performance on the track, in the water,\u00a0or on the road\u00a0it is necessary to manage\u00a0your body's level of\u00a0pain. Check with your medically trained doctor first to\u00a0be clear that they\u00a0understands the three rules that govern soft tissue issues:\u00a0physical, dietary, and emotional.\u00a0These are global factors that have a direct affect on your physiology over time. They will affect the quality of your life experience, or lack there of if ignored. Although they sound easy, they can be tricky to consistently apply. I\u00a0offer a range of professional resources it assist you in building your support team.<\/p>\n

Muscle tone, if allowed to become chronically tight, does have a direct link to a catalogue of pathologies, sometimes labeled as \u201csyndromes.\u201d How many people do you know who have told you that their low back is always aching, they continuously, have headaches or inexplicable body pains? Add to this the pathologies of degenerative disc disease (DDD) or spondylolisthesis (slipped spinal vertebra) or the specter of spinal surgery.\u00a0This kind of worry and stress can distract you form your competitive focus.<\/p>\n

In order to rid the body of chronic pain, we need to get rid of chronic muscle spasms first. Lactic acid is a bi-product of cell metabolism when in an anaerobic state. When allowed to build up within muscle tissue, it can\u00a0trigger varying degrees of spasm. Skeletal muscle tissue is your power source you need working properly when you reach inside for that last bit to win the race or make your goal happen. You don't need it to be make more susceptible to spasm from an excess of lactic acid.<\/p>\n

These chronic pain challenges\u00a0affecting your performance can be addressed with the help sports massage therapy, eventually eliminating them.
