Medical Massage Therapy

Massage Therapy

Massage therapy is an ancient healing practice that has been used to promote relaxation and general well-being. It’s also a great way to relieve stress, tension, and muscle pain, especially after a long day of manual labor. Medical massage therapy involves the use of massage techniques for diagnostic, preventative, and therapeutic purposes in order to treat general medical conditions or specific injuries.

What is Medical Massage Therapy?

Massage therapy is a form of treatment that uses various techniques to relieve pain and promote relaxation. The main goal of massage is to improve your overall health, not just treat your symptoms. Massage therapy can be beneficial for a wide range of conditions, including headaches, stress, and muscle pain. There are several techniques that massage therapists use, including Swedish massage, deep tissue massage, neuromuscular massage, trigger point therapy, and myofascial release. Swedish massage is a general massage technique that is often used for relaxation, prevention of soft tissue injuries, and maintenance of general health. Deep tissue massage works on specific areas of the body, particularly the joints and muscles, to increase blood flow and break up scar tissue and adhesions. Neuromuscular massage focuses on the nerves and muscles, trigger point massage works on releasing tight spots within your muscles, and myofascial release focuses on releasing your fascia, or connective tissue, on increasing the range of motion or decreasing scar tissue.
