Massage therapy

Massage therapy is a form of preventative and rehabilitative health care that addresses disease and dysfunction of the body. Classic massage involves manipulating the tissues of the body with long strokes using varied pressures. Other techniques include trigger point therapy, stretching, joint mobilizations, hydrotherapy (use of heat and cold), and myofascial release.

Massage can both maintain and improve your health by addressing existing and underlying conditions in your body. It helps restore imbalances in the body caused by injury, systemic conditions, repetitive strain and day-to-day living. And in patients with no defined health problem, massage can relieve stress, promote relaxation and enhance wellness.

  • Degenerative disc disease and disc herniations
  • Frozen shoulder
