Remi - Massage Notes Visit 6/4/13

Lunge session:

Pre massage assessment – much improved – freer from the off and more balanced/straighter. Much less appearance of restriction in front.  Movement similar to where he was post massage in March. Left rein showed marked improvement too. Video http://youtu.be/QsoJtguSDgg 

 

Palpation and massage:(See diagram)

 

Visually much straighter through spine. See attached photo. (Head/neck position not quite a last photo for comparison purposes but even so a very obvious improvement).

Left shoulder muscles still some residual tightness but much improved from before. Subclavius and serratus ventralis C tight but supra and infraspinatus non-reactive.

Right shoulder Region – increased tightness in trapezius, infraspinatus, lower brachiocephalic, which consistent with change of balance.

Quarters: - Tight hamstrings, - semitendinosus, glutes and lumbo-sacral junction.  Still tender right inner thigh – sartorius region.

Remi has thrush and ‘holes’ in feet which pip is treating him for.

Concentrated massage on above mentioned areas and used Physiopod deep oscillation post massage.

 2^nd lunge session post massage:

Much more movement through back muscles and glutes and generally free-er movement. Video http://youtu.be/QsoJtguSDgg.  Very encouraging to see such an improvement in 10 days.

Aftercare advice:

Pip to continue with straightness work and hacking. Reassess in 10 to 14 days.
