About
Massage therapy is the manipulation of soft tissues of the body including muscles, connective tissue, tendons, ligaments and joints. Massage therapy is a clinically-oriented healthcare option that helps alleviate the discomfort associated with every day occupational stresses, muscular over-use and many chronic pain conditions. Your therapeutic massage appointment will include a clinical assessment and therapeutic treatments that may include clothed muscle energy techniques and assisted stretching, Swedish and advanced therapeutic massage work, and recommendations for self-care included remedial exercises and stretches, and hydrotherapy options. Arrive early to your first appointment to complete the requisite health history form and when possible, wear loose clothing to allow for full range of motion during clothed work. Benefits of Massage Therapy include:
❖ Reducing or eliminating pain
❖ Improving joint mobility
