MASSAGE THERAPY INTRODUCTION
Massage Therapy is the practice of applying structured pressure, tension, motion, or vibration to the soft tissues of the body (including muscles, connective tissue, tendons, ligaments, joints and lymphatic vessels) to achieve a beneficial response. There are many specialties within the field of therapeutic massage, each encompassing its own targeted techniques.
Many basic massage techniques aim to increase the circulation of bodily fluids and clear the body of toxins, thereby achieving a positive systemic effect that enhances overall wellness. Other, more specialized techniques are incorporated to address individual problem areas by working very specifically on related muscle groups and soft tissues. Through appropriate and individualized application by a professional massage therapist, a wide range of benefits can be achieved.
Medical Massage refers to the application of therapeutic massage techniques with the goal of improving a patient’s diagnosed health condition. An individualized treatment plan is generally created and followed by the therapists, and this is usually done in coordination with a physician or chiropractor.
If you have any of the conditions listed above, we encourage you to seek the advice of your physician or chiropractor for a coordinated treatment plan with your massage therapist.
What follows is an explanation of some of the different massage specialties and techniques offered at the Center for Therapeutic Massage.
