Therapeutic Massage

 

Every body is different, just as every situation is different. Our massage therapists work hand in hand with the doctor and his practitioners to ensure that you are able to receive the best and most applicable type of massage for your situation.

Therapeutic Massage spans a wide variety of therapeutic approaches used to improve an individual’s health and well-being through the hands-on manipulation of muscles and other soft tissues.

From lymphatic massage for immune support, to pain relief and range of motion centered massage to even kinesio-taping, these techniques can enhance the immune system and the body’s resistance to infections. Massage therapy also provides a relaxed state of alertness, reduces mental stress, and enhances the capacity for creativity.

Therapeutic massage involves the manipulation of soft tissue structures of the body to prevent and alleviate pain, discomfort, muscle tightness or spasm, and stress. It also improves the functioning of the circulatory, lymphatic, and nervous systems, and may improve the rate at which the body recovers from injury and illness.

We offer a variety of modalities to assist you on your path to recovery.
