Professional massage therapists work with Mass Mobile Massage, a mobile pain-relieving service which was created by Houston Bernard in 2008 to service businesses, corporations and individuals in Boston, Massachusetts. Bernard’s innovative service offers the efficiency of a pain-relieving massage therapist who arrives at their venue and fits into their schedule.
The trigger point therapy approach, which may help the therapists of Houston Bernard’s Mass Mobile Massage diagnose and manually manipulate points of the body causing the client pain, was originated by John F. Kennedy’s physician Janet G. Travell. Trigger point therapy is described as points in the body which cause local pain or which cause pain in other parts of the body, such as headaches. Manual pressure, vibration, injection and other types of treatment may be applied to these trigger points to relieve myofascial pain. Magnetic Resonance Imaging has been used to photograph and measure these points, which Travell felt are connected to the improper functioning of the neuromuscular junction in musculature.
The Trager massage procedure uses rocking and shaking to invoke the patient to deep relaxation and increased physical mobility. Procedure innovator Milton Trager called his approach psychophysical integration, and emphasized the mind and body connection and its efficacy in helping heal medical conditions. Meditation, gentle touch and manual touch without pain are the main precepts, as well as movements called Mentastics. Individual and corporate clients of Mass Mobile Massage can, when booking an appointment for a therapist in Boston, Massachusetts, inquire if they are interested in the Trager massage procedure.
