Massage Limassol – Patella Maltracking Treatment with Ravel Therapies
Do you have patella maltracking problems causing you knee pain? If so, you could benefit from visiting our remedial massage therapist to have your knee pain symptoms assessed and treated. Ravel Therapies – Massage Limassol in Cyprus.
Patella maltracking refers to the misalignment of the kneecap, known as the Patella when the knee is bent. The maltracking causes friction between the Patella and your thigh bone and places abnormal loading on the tendon which attaches it to the leg (shin) bone.
Clients with patella maltracking symptoms usually feel the pain when squatting, lunging, climbing stairs, or standing up. If you experience knee pain, it is worth getting assessed by our musculoskeletal therapist, as the pain could be coming from a range of conditions. For example, a muscle strain, damage to your meniscus, or a tear of a ligament can all give rise to similar knee pain complaints.
Patella maltracking taping and exercises – Massage Limassol
We tailor your treatment based on the extent of your condition at Ravel Massage Limassol. In the acute phase, we may employ taping techniques to help reduce pain, reduce inflammation and increase range of motion. Patellar maltracking taping also helps improve muscle function around the joint and promotes healing.
We provide targeted massage therapy treatment to help correct the muscle imbalances responsible for the maltracking. These usually involve subduing and stretching the “quads”, which are the large muscles on the front of the thigh, as well as the band of fascia along the side of the leg called the Iliotibial Band, or “ITB”. The tensor fascia latae muscle, or TFL, must also be addressed as part of this treatment.
An important component of your remedial massage Limassol treatment for knee pain includes patellar maltracking exercises. Our therapist will provide specific exercises to stretch and release shorter muscles and also strengthen weaker muscles. The correction of this muscle imbalance helps keep the patella in proper alignment, thereby addressing the issue and eliminating the knee pain. A knee which functions in proper alignment remains, for the large part, pain free.
