That’s Your Body, a local Ocean Beach massage center, is currently working with a client that recently had ACL/Miniscus surgery, and he is now doing physical therapy 3x a week along with 1.5 hour massages once a week. That’s Your Body’s ocean beach massage therapist helps stretch out the muscles that are trying to re-build, while taking a lot of the pressure that is being put on his other leg to compensate.
Ocean Beach Massage by itself is extremely effective, but when it is combined with physical therapy, personal training, yoga or acupuncture, it can save your body down the line. Like massage, physical therapy after ACL surgery is a slow and steady process, but it helps teach patience, determination and focus.
The client also realized the need for bodywork on his upper body through the injury to his lower body. In addition to his good leg taking a lot of the brunt of the load, his upper body is also compensating for his lower body that is protecting itself. By walking on crutches, using rails while walking up and down stairs and limiting his exercise to his upper body has significantly overstressed his shoulders, neck, arms and chest.
