By stretching a muscle, applying the tape to the stretched muscle and returning the muscle to neutral position, the tape forms wrinkles or convolutions in the skin. The wrinkling effect appears to be an essential element in ensuring the efficacy of the Kinesiology Taping technique on muscles. Strapping can help prevent injury as well as protect the athlete from re-injury whilst returning to sport. The role of tape is to limit the movement in an injured joint to prevent excess or abnormal movement. In addition it should provide support to the muscles surrounding the joint. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c71d2718dfc8c3e4ee9f470/1551254040662-LO6WVT5ODVV9PAQ1XLQL/image-asset.jpeg Welcome - Orthopedic Sports Massage A Sports Massage goes deeper than a regular massage. The main aim is to increase range of movement and decrease pain by working on adhesions which form within the layers of muscle and connective tissue. An Orthopaedic Sports Massage uses a variety of techniques such as cross fibre friction, muscle stripping (which seperates individual bunches of muscle fibres and increase muscle length), Petrissage and Effleurage. The Muscle Injury Clinic also specializes in Pre, Inter and Post Event Sports Massage tailored to suit the individuals needs, you don't have to be an Athlete to benefit from a Sports Massage. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c71d2718dfc8c3e4ee9f470/1618873302241-58MWVYF5RP6VZFS2TLYG/Dwayne2.jpg Welcome - Myofascial Release Travell and Simons, define a Trigger Point is as a "......hyperirritable spot in skeletal muscle that is associated with a hypersensitive palpable nodule that is tender when pressed, and can give rise to referred pain and motor dysfunction.” What this means is that a Trigger Point will present itself as a "knot" which is along a taut band, or hard felt line along the skeletal muscles, when a muscle presents with Trigger Points, it cannot lengthen and shorten as normal, and as such cannot function properly. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c71d2718dfc8c3e4ee9f470/1555391212491-801XOWZIQCUAQCCWEAMY/IMG_0057.jpg Welcome - Trigger Point Dry Needling Trigger Point Dry Needling involves the insertion of a filament acupuncture needle into a target muscle directed specifically at a Myofascial Trigger point. A primary aim of Trigger Point Dry Needling is to achieve a local twitch response, in turn reducing tension and pain. Trigger Points are little nodules in taut bands of muscle, taut bands shorten the muscle inhibiting muscle function. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c71d2718dfc8c3e4ee9f470/1555391652439-R5AERRSEILKVN1X7O691/IMG_0256.jpg Welcome - Neuromuscular Therapy Neuromuscular Therapy (NMT) is an innovative healing approach that combines the best Soft Tissue Manipulation techniques of Osteopathy, Trigger Point Therapy, Massage and other fields. NMT uses a combination of Manuel techniques and facilitated Stretching to identify and treat Soft tissue injuries, pain and dysfunction. The main focus of Neuromuscular Therapy is to not just treat the symptoms but to also identify the cause of pain and can be combined with other modalities as part of a comprehensive treatment program. I treat individuals with chronic long - standing pain, acute Sudden pain and Occupational injuries. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c71d2718dfc8c3e4ee9f470/1618873877765-5ZH7MMH7NIAHK0IFYL3O/Dwayne3.jpg Welcome - Electro Acupuncture The basic premise behind electro acupuncture is to increase the effect of the needles through the addition of the electrical current, the electrical current is able to stimulate more powerfully a larger area than just the needle itself. It is also understood that certain electrical frequencies will induce the release of beneficial chemicals (eg enkephalins and dynorphins) which regulate pain perception in the body. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c71d2718dfc8c3e4ee9f470/1551257677092-JHH52L2UAB7LT7NHE677/1.png Welcome https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c71d2718dfc8c3e4ee9f470/1551257676838-6TXLH7E9M76KPNEP7JEA/2.png Welcome https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c71d2718dfc8c3e4ee9f470/1551257678547-WEDNC6G848GZ9P1EFD6K/3.png Welcome https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c71d2718dfc8c3e4ee9f470/1551257678562-LY4FNFTPPVDPPJBM9CZ3/4.png Welcome https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c71d2718dfc8c3e4ee9f470/1551257679292-YWRFHQ1DCFTQS0J9L17Y/5.png Welcome https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c71d2718dfc8c3e4ee9f470/1551257679847-LKSX7BMFKCXIMYEZGKPR/6.png Welcome https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c71d2718dfc8c3e4ee9f470/1551257680432-7776LI6UMXL6TRATJ2KQ/7.png Welcome https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c71d2718dfc8c3e4ee9f470/1551257680718-DZM6XNCKKYZRLJ02MQ50/8.png Welcome https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c71d2718dfc8c3e4ee9f470/1551257681301-K96AW50BT3M5OA2DKQS0/9.png Welcome https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c71d2718dfc8c3e4ee9f470/1551257681873-S9XB4V3HQLZOTQPPH7YU/10.png Welcome https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c71d2718dfc8c3e4ee9f470/1551257682430-1OW9BOYLNS6HN719NO53/11.png Welcome https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c71d2718dfc8c3e4ee9f470/1555390193548-G366KT5BF8XHTY5VO5FF/IMG_0005.JPG Welcome https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c71d2718dfc8c3e4ee9f470/1643680153727-W8ZWNK6QM63PIHJRFRMQ/Banner5.png Welcome https://www.muscleinjuryclinic.co.nz/treatmentsold daily 0.75 2019-02-27 https://www.muscleinjuryclinic.co.nz/treatment daily 0.75 2019-02-27 https://www.muscleinjuryclinic.co.nz/new-page daily 0.75 2019-02-26
