Therapeutic Massage

Massage therapy is a popular and effective way to promote health and wellness, but not all massages are created equally. Two common types of massage are therapeutic massage and relaxation massage. While both offer significant benefits, they serve different purposes and involve distinct techniques.

Our massage providers focus on therapeutic massage, also known as clinical or medical massage, which is designed to address specific health issues and optimize the body’s functioning. This type of massage is often recommended by healthcare professionals for individuals dealing with chronic pain, injury recovery, or musculoskeletal conditions. The focus is on identifying and treating the root cause of pain and dysfunction.

Therapeutic massage involves a variety of techniques such as deep tissue massage, trigger point therapy, myofascial release, and neuromuscular therapy. The therapist uses firm pressure to target deeper layers of muscle and connective tissue. Specific areas of tension and pain are addressed meticulously, with the intent to release knots, improve mobility, and reduce inflammation. This can sometimes be uncomfortable, but the end result is improved physical function and pain relief.

When deciding between therapeutic and relaxation massage, consider your specific needs and goals. If you are dealing with chronic pain, injury, or specific health concerns, therapeutic massage may be the best choice. It offers targeted treatment to address the underlying issues and provide long-term relief.  Most insurances cover therapeutic massage. 

Regardless of the type of massage you choose, our experienced and professional therapists will assess your needs, recommend the appropriate techniques, and ensure you receive the maximum benefits from your session.
