Medical Massage Therapy
Medical Massage Therapy is a results-driven, therapeutic massage approach prescribed to address specific medical conditions and injuries. Unlike general relaxation massage, it is goal-oriented and tailored to the client’s diagnosis.
This therapy is often part of a comprehensive treatment plan developed in coordination with a healthcare provider to promote recovery, pain relief, and functional improvement.

How It Works
Medical massage therapy involves targeted techniques designed to alleviate pain, reduce inflammation, and improve circulation in affected areas. The therapist uses a combination of:
- Deep tissue work and trigger point therapy to release muscle tension
- Myofascial techniques to address soft tissue restrictions
- Lymphatic drainage or gentle mobilizations when needed
- Customized protocols based on the physician’s referral or physical evaluation
Each session is structured around your specific condition, with the therapist monitoring your progress and adjusting techniques accordingly.
This therapy is ideal for:
Who It’s For
- Patients recovering from injuries such as whiplash, sprains, or strains
- Individuals with chronic conditions like sciatica, TMJ, or carpal tunnel syndrome
- People dealing with pain from postural imbalances or repetitive strain
- Pre- or post-surgical patients seeking faster rehabilitation
- Anyone whose doctor has recommended therapeutic massage as part of treatment

What to Expect in a Session
Your therapist will review your health history and may collaborate with your healthcare provider to understand your diagnosis. Sessions will focus on the specific area of concern, using intentional, often deeper techniques to relieve pain and restore movement.
Expect a more clinical, outcome-based experience compared to relaxation massage. You may feel some discomfort during the process, but it will always be within your tolerance level and focused on therapeutic benefit.
