When Massage Therapy Is Necessary?

There is a reason why massage has been popular for centuries. This ancient form of therapy stimulates blood flow throughout the body, relaxing muscle tissue and preventing painful contractions from forming. It also decompresses the body's nerves, slowing down the spread of pain or numbness throughout the nervous system.

Massage therapy is a versatile technique that provides relief to a wide range of medical conditions. Our practice uses massage therapy to relieve arthritis, chronic back pain, fatigue, carpal tunnel syndrome, fibromyalgia, hypertension, myofascial pain, multiple sclerosis, mesothelioma, sciatica, sports injuries, tension headaches, depression, and anxiety. If you suffer from chronic pain of some sort, massage therapy is generally a great option for reducing physical stress throughout the body.

What to Expect from Massage Therapy?

When visiting us for massage therapy, expect to be asked about your medical history, including any symptoms or pains you experience. During a typical session, a patient will lay down on a massage table while our health professional kneads and massages the patient's body. You can undress to your own level of comfort. Massage oil will be used to create a safer and more effective massage experience. 

A quality massage therapy session results in muscle relaxation and the release of body pressure. Depending on the patient's needs, he or she can either receive a full body massage or a massage that targets a specific portion of the body. Special therapeutic techniques can be used to relieve a problem area. The therapist will adjust the level of pressure that is applied based on whatever the patient asks for.
