Medical Massage is a result oriented, comprehensive system specifically directed to address conditions that have been diagnosed by a physician. Medical massage will help get the body in its best place to facilitate the healing process.
Most of us unnecessarily live with discomfort or pain related to repetitive motions and work habits, trauma from physically demanding jobs, or long periods of immobility. Orthopedic massage is beneficial for addressing these as well as sports-related injuries and pre/post-surgical care.
There can be a lot of emotion surrounding scar tissue, both from the initial injury or surgery as well as often painful medical treatments during the healing process. This is supported during treatment just as much as the physical condition.
