For many clients who have been treated with Bioelectric Meridian Therapy (BMT) alone, it’s been a superlative journey of bidding farewell to years of chronic pain. When BMT is used in remedial massage as a complementary tool, it quickly becomes a proven way to help treat various physical conditions that benefit from the added power of this innovative therapy.
BMT for Remedial Massage Therapy – two therapies, one goal
In the same way that Traditional Chinese Medicine sees the body as an interconnected system of energy (Qi) that emphasises balance through meridians (what we teach inside our Level 1 BMT certification course), remedial massage also looks at the body holistically. In both practices, the goal is to restore balance by identifying how dysfunction in one area could affect the entire musculoskeletal system.
The primary reason for incorporating BMT using the ABMMA PRO BMT Device in remedial massage therapy is to help amplify the results when treating chronic conditions or enhancing performance. An additional perk of combining both therapies is the enhancement of the post-treatment relaxation response. By helping overworked muscles relax and regain their natural state and by easing tension in the surrounding tissues, this technique can lead to impressive results.
What can be treated with BMT in a remedial massage setting?
In a clinical setting, we’ve consistently seen positive results using the ABMMA PRO tool across a wide range of common complaints. Whether a client is dealing with everyday tension or more complex musculoskeletal issues, BMT has proven to be a powerful tool in recovery and relief.
Some of the most frequently treated conditions include:
- Persistent lower back and thoracic pain
- Neck discomfort and upper trapezius tension
- Tennis elbow and golfer’s elbow
- Relief from tendinopathy and associated pain
- Plantar fasciitis and chronic calf strain
- Gluteal tendinopathy and post-exercise fatigue
- Restricted joint range of motion
- General joint pain, trigger points, and referred pain patterns
- Shortened, overworked, and fatigued muscle groups
In short, BMT has the potential to support recovery for nearly every condition that brings clients through the door of a remedial massage clinic, quickly making it a staple in effective, evidence-informed bodywork.
The overwhelming benefits of BMT in remedial massage for clients
Human bodies are powered by energy at the cellular level and just like any system, they require regular recharging to stay in balance. Maintaining this energetic flow is essential for supporting healthy cell regeneration, efficient communication between body systems and overall well-being.
However, there are times when our ability to self-recover becomes compromised, whether due to stress, injury or chronic fatigue. Bioelectric Meridian Therapy is an innovative approach to restoring this balance, through the energetic support of the body.
These are some ways BMT works alongside remedial massage for clients:
- Helps the body function naturally and efficiently
- Boosts energy production at the cellular level
- Relieves muscle tension and help them relax
- Supports the delivery of nutrients and promote healing within cells
- Speeds up tissue recovery and repair
- Improves body awareness and nerve connection
- Enhances communication between the body’s systems
- Brings the body back to a balanced, healthier state
Introducing Bioelectric Massage Therapy – a unique, integrative approach to remedial massage
In a clinical massage setting, using the ABMMA PRO device offers a unique advantage. It allows the therapist to both assess and treat the tissue at the same time. The bioelectric response, like the twitch or flutter of the muscle, helps guide the therapist directly to the areas that need attention and offers an unmatched level of precision.
What is most interesting is how this technology also benefits the therapist by reducing the physical strain they experience during treatment, making it less fatiguing for them while still providing effective results for the client.
As one of the first to adopt the revolutionary ABMMA PRO BMT Device within his practice, Greg from Joondalup Sports Remedial Massage (JSR) is now a steadfast champion for the use of this
therapy within his clinic. Now, many years on, Greg advocates for its use in a clinical setting, sharing his own accounts of the extraordinary transformations he has witnessed through use of this tool. His passion for this therapy is so great that JSR has partnered with ABMMA to deliver a new course for remedial massage therapists looking to incorporate BMT into their practice, BMT for RMT.
