Got Pain? Try Professional Medical Massage Therapy
How is Medical Massage different than a Deep Tissue, Sports Massage or Spa Massage?
My approach to a pain relief massage is very different than an average massage because I only work on the areas related to your pain/injury. I combine modalities to unlock the soft tissue and Trigger Points that are responsible for your pain. You can't achieve pain relief with just one approach and medical massage is not one size fits all. The reason for this is that your soft tissue and muscles react differently to pain and become a variety of adhesions, tight muscles or fascia, knots, etc. These issues are responsible for creating a cycle of pain and discomfort. I combine Trigger Point Therapy, Sports Massage Therapy, Myofascial Release and Deep Tissue to address the route cause of your pain and unlock the soft tissue.
When you work with me, your session is very targeted to the areas where your pain originates and where it refers to, so it's not a relaxing full body spa massage, but at the same time, it's not excruciating.
I often assign homework, usually an icing program, but sometimes I'll give you stretches depending on where you are in your recovery. I may also teach you some self-massage techniques to help you through flare-ups or to just maintain until your next session. These tools help you to manage and reduce your pain which tend to result in a faster recovery.
If you have acute pain, follow the system of R.I.C.E
1. Rest
2. Ice
3. Compression
4. Elevation
You can begin massage therapy 3 days after the onset of an injury as long as you've been following the R.I.C.E. method.
