Medical Massage Treatments

Medical massage is a specialized form of therapy that is outcome based and focuses on the treatment of specific medical conditions and injuries. It is performed by a trained and certified Medical Massage Practitioner. By addressing underlying musculoskeletal issues, medical massage can help relieve pain, restore movement, achieve lasting optimal results, and support recovery from various ailments. This type of massage is often used in conjunction with other medical treatments and is tailored to meet the individual needs of each patient.
