MASSAGE
THERAPY FOR BOTH THERAPEUTIC
TREATMENT AND RELAXATION
WHAT IS MASSAGE EXACTLY
AND WHY SHOULD OUR PATIENTS CONSIDER MASSAGE AS PART
OF THEIR THERAPY?
Massage is a term describing
a variety of techniques to therapeutically stimulate
or soothe soft tissues of the body. Massage works to
relax and stimulate muscles by increasing blood flow,
temperature, lymph flow, and also to break-up scar tissue
between muscle fibers.
Massage is used for more
than relaxation. It is incredible at reducing swelling,
muscle spasms, and improving range of motion. Oftentimes,
when applied appropriately, insurance will cover massage
as part of a patient's therapy. Massage can also be
used exclusively as therapy.
Massage therapy can be
used as treatment for:
Headaches
Arthritis
Neck Pain
Low Back Pain
Sports Injuries
Circulatory Problems
Carpal Tunnel Syndrome
Musculo-Skeletal Disorders
Fibromyalgia and Chronic Fatigue Syndrome
Many people report improvement
with:
Pain
Stress
Posture
Relaxation
Circulation
Blood Pressure
Muscles tightness
Fibromyalgia Symptoms
Post-Operative Rehabilitation
Flexibility and Range of Motion
Massage isn't limited to treatment protocol. Should
you decide that you need relaxation and want to relieve
tension associated with the stresses of your daily life,
massage can be very therapeutic. Doesn't everyone love
to feel pampered with a massage?
WHO ARE OUR MASSAGE
THERAPISTS?
We have several therapists with several years of experience.
We maintain highly trained and licensed therapist. Each

for our patients.
They are accustomed to working
on many types of injuries in all areas of the body.
The therapists have significant experience working on
shoulder, elbow, hip, knee, and leg injuries; a skill
they develop from working as a team on a focused treatment
plan.
WHAT ARE THE COSTS
ASSOCIATED WITH MASSAGE THERAPY?
Our current rate is $45.00 for a 1 hour massage. If
massage therapy is part of your treatment plan insurance
may cover part of the cost.
