Targeted relief and faster healing through professional rehabilitation massage
Why Is Post-Injury Massage So Important?
Whether you're a professional athlete or simply recovering from an accidental injury, your muscles, joints, and ligaments need proper rehabilitation. Massage therapy plays a key role in speeding up recovery by:
Improving blood circulation
Reducing inflammation
Alleviating muscle tension
Supporting proper tissue regeneration
At SymmetryHL, we understand the anatomy, biomechanics, and sensitivity of injured areas. That's why all our recovery massage sessions are tailored to your specific injury and stage of healing.
Massage After Injury: Key Features
Every injury is unique, and so is every rehabilitation plan. Massage after trauma is always performed in stages, beginning with gentle techniques and progressing based on your body's response.
Step-by-step process:
Initial Phase (Days/Weeks After Injury)
Gentle stroking and gliding (effleurage) techniques for 5–10 minutes to prepare the tissue and reduce swelling or pain.
Gradual Introduction of Pressure
Based on your comfort and recovery progress, we slowly introduce friction, kneading, and compressiontechniques.
Advanced Techniques (If Needed)
When healing allows, we incorporate more dynamic techniques to restore full mobility and prevent scar tissue formation.
What Types of Injuries Can Be Treated?
Our massage therapists work with a wide range of post-traumatic conditions, including:
Knee & ankle injuries
Supported with soft cushions and joint fixation during the session. Focus on mobility, swelling reduction, and muscle balance.
Shoulder joint injuries
Usually treated twice a week, starting with gentle motion and progressing to muscle engagement. Each session lasts from 10 minutes depending on tolerance.
Muscle strains & inflammation
Treated with care and heat-assisted relaxation to allow gentle massage that relieves spasms and pain.
Joint dislocation recovery
Only after a joint is medically repositioned and cleared for massage, our therapists proceed with tissue reconditioning and lymphatic stimulation.
When to Book Your First Recovery Session?
Book your first session once acute inflammation or swelling has subsided and your doctor or physiotherapist confirms massage is safe.
