What does USMT mean in THERAPY

USMT stands for Ultimate Sports Massage Therapy. It is a form of massage therapy specifically designed to help athletes and those with active lifestyles attain peak performance levels in sports or other physical activities. USMT helps increase flexibility, improve circulation, reduce muscle pain, address postural imbalances, and decrease recovery time following strenuous activity.

USMT uses various modalities including deep tissue massage, myofascial release, joint mobilization, trigger point therapy, stretching techniques and more to assess individual muscle function and address the specific needs of each patient. The therapist works with the patient to identify areas of discomfort or dysfunction within the muscles and applies appropriate treatments that restore balance across the entire musculature.

Yes. USMT is a safe and effective treatment option that can be tailored to meet the individual needs of each patient. The therapist will adjust the pressure applied during treatment based on what is comfortable for you while still achieving desired results.

Some of the many benefits of receiving USMT include improved mobility and range of motion; increased circulation; reduced muscle soreness and tension; improved posture; decreased recovery time following physical activity; improved overall health of soft tissues; enhanced mental clarity; improved moods; and better sleep quality.

Generally speaking, it typically depends on your symptoms or condition as well as your level of activity. If you are an athlete competing in a sport, you may need more regular sessions than someone using exercise just for general fitness purposes. Working with your therapist can help you determine how often would be best for your particular situation.

Generally speaking there are no long-term side effects from receiving massage therapy unless carried out inappropriately or in excess (which would not occur if carried out by a qualified professional). Some people may experience mild soreness after a session but this should resolve itself within 24 hours if they hydrate adequately after their session has finished.

Pregnant women should always consult with their midwife or doctor before receiving any form of massage therapy as certain techniques may not be appropriate for them at that time however if given clearance then most therapists who specialise in pregnancy should be able offer guidance on how to achieve maximum benefit while avoiding any discomfort or harm when providing prenatal massage.

During your first session your therapist will conduct initial assessments which will involve discussing relevant medical history as well as performing physical assessments such as posture analysis etc., depending upon your chief complaint/reason for visiting the clinic. From here they will be able to formulate an appropriate treatment plan based on their findings. Depending on what type of technique/s need applying further discussions/ clarification’s may also take place before treatment begins.
