The
Assessment:
The massage
therapist is assessing your condition using the basic
five criteria defined by Leon Chaitow, ND, DO in
his book: Modern Neuromuscular Techniques. The
criteria are: Muscle tension, Spasm/strain, Myofascial
trigger points, and Muscle deficiency/postural dysfunction.
In detection of injury or dysfunction, the therapist
then uses the palpation techniques of tone, tenderness,
texture and temperature to better define your condition
and assess how it may be treated. |
