What is Medical Massage Therapy?

​

Medical Massage is a specialization of therapeutic massage in that it focuses on the care of diagnosed medical conditions such as Back Pain, Scoliosis, Sciatica, Headaches, Chronic Pain Syndromes, and many other conditions.

​

Unlike standard therapeutic massage therapy, medical massage focuses on supporting the treatment plan that is specific to the medical diagnosis a patient has.

 

Benefits of Medical Massage include:

• Pain Reduction

• Increased Blood Flow

• Improved recovery from injuries
