What is a Massage Exam?
Your therapist is trained to perform a proper massage exam and in the anatomy and structure of soft tissues. Palpation, or the use of touch to examine, is often used to help determine what is going on inside the body especially to locate the source of muscular pain and tension.
During your massage exam the therapist applies slight pressure with the hands, feeling the size, texture, location and consistency of an area of the body. This type of exam allows the therapist a comparative method for analyzing their patient’s area of the body versus how that area should feel in an optimal health situation.
Palpation of the muscles is used to not only discern the location of the area in need of therapy or treatment, but also to more specifically gauge the health of that area by feeling it texture and tone.
