A variety of massage therapy techniques

In fact, patients who attempt massage therapy without a professional will more than likely cause symptoms to increase in pain. After all, massage therapy is much more than simply applying pressure to the back. Massage therapy involves a specialist manipulating the soft tissue of the body, which includes:

• Muscle tissue
• Connective tissue
• Tendons
• Ligaments
• Skin

Massage therapy also involves a varying amount of pressure and movement on specific parts of the body. In many cases, we will use massage therapy in conjunction with other treatment methods.

There are a variety of massage techniques and styles. Thus, each patient will experience varying massages during their treatment appointments. The general goal of massage therapy is to help patients feel relief during treatment for a variety of conditions. While massage therapy is not the cure for all medical conditions, it can help relieve stress and help patients cope with symptoms.

Upon scheduling an appointment, we will have new patients fill out a “New Patient Form.” This form will go over the patient’s medical history, current condition and insurance information. We will take all of these factors into account before the examination. During the examination, we will develop the most effective treatment plan that we can for the patient.

If the treatment plan does involve massage therapy, it will most likely also include a few other treatment techniques that may include physical therapy. Surgical solutions are not only risky but can also make a situation worse for the patient in the long run. Non-surgical options are more effective and safe in most situations. We understand that people may have some questions about massage therapy and here are a few common questions on the basics of massage therapy.
