Medical Massage
Tired of nagging low back pain? Do your knees crunch and grind? Tingling in your hand and fingers? Medical massage combines techniques to restore range of motion, flexibility and postural balance, which reduces chronic patterns of tension and the resulting pain. This style of massage is frequently referred to as "Therapeutic," or "Medical" massage.
Techniques used will vary, but may include, myofascial release, active release, trigger point therapy, strain/counterstrain, multidirectional friction, compression and stretching techniques. This type of massage requires more client involvement to communicate soreness and follow instructions of the therapist.
Your session will include a health history and discussion about your particular area of concern. Your massage therapist may perform a series of evaluative tests to locate imbalances that contribute to patterns of pain and discomfort. Then you will work together as a team to reduce discomfort and maximize the effectiveness of the session. After your session, your massage therapist may make suggestions of stretching or strengthening exercises that can help maintain the balance reached during your treatment.
Therapeutic massage may be billed to your health insurance. If you'd like to explore that option, please download our Insurance Verification Questions and call your plan to see if massage is a covered service.
