Corporate Wellness Programme

Motion Aid was started by Vincent South a soft tissue therapist, working to help people with musculoskeletal problems and educating them on how to stay out of pain.

We are proud to now be able to offer our treatments and knowledge to your workforce through our Corporate Wellness Program. It’s not just about the treatments, it’s about the education that you take away with you. The benefits of our treatments are felt by everyone.

THE POWER OF SPORTS MASSAGE

Enhanced tissue permeability: Massage causes the tissue membrane pores to widen, allowing fluids and nutrients to pass through more readily. This enables waste products such as lactic acid to be removed rapidly and creates an environment whereby oxygen and nutrients are quickly delivered to the target muscles, allowing an enhanced recovery.

Increased flexibility: Massage stretches muscle tissue in a multidirectional manner, both longitudinally and laterally. It can also have a similar effect on the muscular sheath and surrounding fascia, allowing a beneficial release of stored tension and pressure.

Scar tissue realignment: Each and every time a muscle receives trauma or injury, scar tissue is formed which can affect the muscle itself as well as the tendons and ligaments. If not treated correctly at the time of injury, this scar tissue can form haphazardly, resulting in the potential for long term inflexibility issues. Massage assists in realigning the scar tissue formation and reduces the likelihood of subsequent injury and/or pain.

Enhanced micro circulation: Massage enhances the blood flow to the tissues of the target muscles in a similar manner to exercise. In addition to this, massage also causes blood vessels to dilate enabling oxygen and nutrients to pass through more readily.

Assessments

Objective assessment: will involve a physical examination to determine the degree of loss of function and to identify other factors that may be responsible for the current symptoms.

Subjective assessment: will look to obtain information regarding lifestyle, medical history and current condition.
