Recovery is a process
Injury recovery is rarely just about one treatment. Depending on the injury, recovery may involve medical assessment, rehabilitation, movement, rest, gradual loading, sleep, and symptom management.
Know the stage of your recovery
The treatment approach that feels appropriate early in recovery may be different later. Tell your practitioner what happened, when it happened, what care you have received, and what movements currently bother you.
How massage may contribute
When appropriate, massage can focus on surrounding muscular tension, comfort, relaxation, and recovery. It should complement—not replace—necessary medical or rehabilitation care.
Return to activity gradually
Avoid the temptation to test an injured area at full intensity just because it feels better for a day. Progress should be appropriate to your injury and guidance from qualified healthcare professionals.
