Massage Therapists who work in medical facilities are taking on greater responsibility in total treatment of their clients. One area of increased use of the Massage Therapist is in exercise rehabilitation. In Dr. Koshes’ Massage Therapy online class titled, “Muscles, Rehabilitation And Exercise, “ he covers the commonly used rehabilitation exercise programs of stretching and strengthening. Topics covered include types of flexibility/stretching exercises, types of strengthening exercises, typical applications of the exercise programs in the acute, sub-acute and chronic phases of care and how to set up an in-office or home elastic tubing strengthening exercise program.

One area covered in his online course for Massage Therapy is the explanation of (DOMS) Delayed Onset Muscle Soreness. DOMS can occur in muscles that have been exercised over the past 24-48 hours and last up to 1-2 days. It is not due to the release of lactic acid like originally thought but most probably due to microscopic tears within the muscle fibers that are seen more frequently with your clients who are performing more “negative” muscle contractions. Clients who are beginners should avoid the negative types of contractions to avoid the symptoms of delayed onset muscle contractions.

For more information on how to progress your clients through the different phases of rehabilitation care, contact Dr. Koshes on his website, www.koshes.com
