Medical Massage
What Is Medical Massage?
Medical massage therapy is targeted massage focused on specific muscles and soft tissues rather than a general full-body relaxation massage. Treatment may address areas of muscle tension, restricted mobility, soft-tissue discomfort, or injury-related concerns identified during your evaluation.
Targeted Treatment
Focus on specific areas identified during your evaluation.
Personalized Plan
Treatment is based on your symptoms, history, and recovery goals.
Medical Oversight
Physician evaluation is available when a medical assessment or coordinated treatment plan is needed.
