Different types of treatment modalities
The how it works bit of how we help you bit
Physical Testing
Every new injury assessment starts with physically testing our clients. We check your range of motion (ROM) via active, passive and resisted testing. We then proceed to assess ligaments and tendons, pain levels, and any lumps and bumps. This, of course, all takes place after we take a detailed history of your injury and how it happened, or possible causes if there isn't an obvious answer.
When the focus needs to be on increasing strength, flexibility or range of motion, we can carry out these along side or seperately to other treatments. We would create a plan specific to your needs and injury to get you back to normal life ASAP.
Rehabilitation
Massage: Sports/Special
Massage is where we get into your muscles and relax any knots and problem areas, flushing out stressors or inflamation from injury. Massage can be sports, deep tissue, pre/post event, swedish/relaxing, lymphatic drainage or more oncology based.
Dry Cupping
Cupping carried out at Victorious is dry cupping, using suction to lift the layers of skin and muscles which gives a variety of health benefits. Dry cupping is a extremely old modality that can help with some knots that seem immune to massage, which can improve recovery time as well as being clinically proven to give a mental boost.
Thermal Treatments
COLD
Cryotherapy works by thermo shocking the tissue causing a vascular restriction, moving particles away from the area and promoting the influx of phagocytes which remove dead cells and help repair the area. Great for arthritic joints, post surgery, pain management, soft tissue damage, new sprains and strains.
​
HOT
Paraffin wax infuses muscles with deep heat helping muscles to relax as well as bringing lots of fresh blood to the area; this can really be beneficial to stubborn knots and be a great precursor for massage.
This heat modality can aid chronic conditions including oesteoarthritis, Rheumatoid arthritis, and Rhenauld's by giving therapeutic relief.
