Orthopedic Massage

Everyone has their own reasons for learning about and trying massage therapy as a form of treatment for a wide range of ailments. They have typically exhausted other forms of treatment, from physical to pharmaceutical approaches, and have come in on the recommendation of a trusted friend, family member or colleague. While it is true that massage therapy is beneficial in relieving aches and pains, the positive effects do not end there. Increased range of motion, decreased stress and improved sleep quality are common outcomes, to name a few.

Orthopedic Massage provides the benefits mentioned above but also primarily focuses on soft-tissue musculoskeletal disorders. This renders the approach beneficial for nearly everyone. From athletes and weekend warriors to the more sedentary person, from those who find themselves at a desk all day to those who may incur an overuse injury at work (think painters, etc.) to those who are recovering from orthopedic injuries/surgeries will find value in Orthopedic Massage.

After a thorough conversation and assessment, a combination of techniques including Myofascial Release, Trigger Point Therapy, Positional Release, PNF (Proprioceptive Neuromuscular Facilitation) Stretching, Active Engagement and Neuromuscular Therapy are used to find the root cause of an ailment. Upon determining the root causes, a treatment plan is designed to fit your needs with the intention of the body being restored to once again engage in normal and natural body movement and function.
