Benefits of Therapeutic Massage
Massage therapy can provide significant benefits to improve quality of life by:
– Improving circulation to muscles
– Increasing flexibility and range of motion
– Reducing tissue inflammation
– Speed up recovery from soft tissue strains or injuries
– Increasing athletic performance, endurance, and recovery
– Helping to manage overactive parasympathetic fight or flight response which can cause anxiety, depression, insomnia, migraine headaches, and digestive problems

– sore feet
– sore hands, wrists and forearms
– reduced range of motion/difficulty in fully bending at hips, in neck, in shoulders, in knees, in ankles with or without pain
– migraines or frequent tension headaches
– anxiety disorders
– sports injuries or overworked muscles/joints
– surgery recovery
– trouble sleeping due to overactive mind
– people with conditions like fibromyalgia, myofascial pain syndrome, and temporomandibular joint pain.
What is the difference between a Spa Massage and a Therapeutic Massage?
A therapeutic massage is similar to but different from a spa massage. The focus of a spa massage is primarily to provide relaxation by reducing muscle tension and relieving stress. A therapeutic massage is catered to your specific body pains and injuries with a focus on reducing pain and inflammation, increasing range of motion, and improving the quality of life. A therapeutic massage uses the body’s natural healing abilities to help speed up healing by increasing blood flow while decreasing inflammation and pain. A therapeutic massage includes a body update interview each appointment to get feedback on prior issues treated and to identify areas needing immediate attention. Each appointment concludes with a treatment plan to help you to achieve a daily life with less pain or even pain free!

If it is your first time getting a massage or if you haven’t had a massage in a while, soreness and bruising may occur after a massage until your muscles get used to being manipulated.

- Fractures
- Deep vein thrombosis
- Severe thrombocytopenia
- Severe osteoporosis
- Unexplained pain
- Pregnancy with complications

If you have any of the above please consult your medical doctor to discuss if massage therapy is an appropriate treatment plan for you.
