PASSION FOR SPORTS AND OBSTACLES: A RECOVERY JOURNEY WITH HANDSVIET

When Passion Meets Obstacles

Mr. Phu, a passionate pickleball player, came to HandsViet suffering from shoulder pain and limited arm and shoulder mobility after an extended period of continuous competition. The pain not only affected his daily activities but also directly reduced his athletic performance.

Following a thorough examination and assessment, HandsViet’s therapists identified the primary cause as muscle spasms in the rhomboids, levator scapulae, trapezius, and other supporting muscle groups. When these muscles become tight, they restrict movement, reduce natural flexibility, and create major obstacles for sports enthusiasts like Mr. Phu.

Restoring Mobility Through Deep Tissue Therapy

To address his condition, HandsViet implemented an intensive deep tissue massage therapy program, focusing on:

• Softening and relieving spasms in the rhomboid muscles and related groups.

• Stretching the shoulder girdle muscles.

• Increasing the range of motion for the shoulder and arm.

• Restoring flexibility and natural mobility.

Thanks to this personalized therapy plan, Mr. Phu gradually regained his range of motion, experienced reduced pain and stiffness, and returned to the court performing even better than before.

Personalized Therapy for Sustainable Recovery

At HandsViet, we go beyond simple relaxation massage. We are committed to delivering personalized therapy that integrates musculoskeletal expertise with advanced deep tissue massage techniques to:

• Accurately identify the root cause of mobility limitations.

• Design a tailored therapy plan based on each individual’s condition and needs.

With the philosophy of “Understanding your body to care for it best,” HandsViet is proud to accompany sports lovers in overcoming obstacles and achieving peak performance.
