Are there any specific techniques or movements used in massage therapy for joint pain?

When it comes to massage therapy for joint pain at Tattva Wellness Spa, skilled therapists employ specific techniques and movements to target and alleviate discomfort. These may include:

Friction: This technique involves applying deep pressure with the fingertips or knuckles to the affected joint, promoting increased blood flow and reducing pain.

Cross-Fiber Friction: The therapist applies pressure across the muscle fibers, which can help break up scar tissue and improve joint flexibility.

Passive and Active Stretching: Gentle stretching of the muscles and joints helps improve range of motion, reduce stiffness, and alleviate pain.

Petrissage: Kneading and squeezing motions are used to manipulate muscles around the joint, improving circulation and promoting relaxation.

By combining these techniques, along with others tailored to individual needs, the therapists at Tattva Wellness Spa provide effective relief and support in managing joint pain.
