Massage can be used for the general relaxation of the musculo-skeletal system as well as being directed into local problem areas, thereby improving recovery and ensuring that it happens thoroughly. Using a range of techniques such as trigger point therapy, soft tissue release, myofascial release, stretching and acupressure work, massage can help alleviate and prevent musculo-skeletal problems. These may result from trauma, overuse, accidents, poor posture or a combination of these. Advice may be given about exercise, posture and relaxation techniques to help with recovery and help prevent the problem recurring.
