Medical Massage Therapy

Medical Massage is outcome-based massage. The primary goal is the application of specific treatment techniques targeted to the specific problem the patient presents to us.  We review the physician's diagnosis, administer a thorough assessment/evaluation by a medical massage therapist and treat according to your refering physicians presrcription.

Medical massage incorporates a variety of massage therapies, keeping specific goals in mind.

It is obvious to everyone in the massage profession that our work very successfully addresses a wide spectrum of emotional, physical, and physiological conditions related to trauma, disease, debilitation, and recovery. A growing number of health professionals are recognizing this as well.
