Rehabilitation therapy

In rehabilitation, traditional therapies such as physical or occupational therapy focus on exercises and techniques to enhance mobility and strengthen tissues, which can sometimes lead to additional stress on the body.

Massage therapy, however, complements these practices by targeting the muscles and soft tissues, including fascia, tendons, ligaments, and skin. It promotes blood flow, improving the delivery of nutrients and removal of waste, which accelerates healing. Many patients notice an improvement in flexibility and a greater range of motion after incorporating massage therapy into their treatment plan.

Massage therapy is especially helpful for alleviating tension and reducing stress, which can improve your overall sense of well-being during rehabilitation. Techniques like myofascial release, muscle energy, and positional release are used to relax tight muscles and connective tissue, enhancing their responsiveness to physical therapy exercises.

This process also aids in the removal of toxins from the body, reducing pain and discomfort. This makes it easier to engage in traditional rehab exercises and allows for better outcomes. In addition, by lowering emotional stress, massage helps clients stay focused and adhere to their rehabilitation plan.

Different medical massage techniques are employed depending on the condition being treated. These include deep tissue, trigger point, neuromuscular, and myofascial release, among others. Our skilled therapists tailor the treatment to meet your specific needs, ensuring the best possible support during your rehabilitation.

We begin with a thorough review of your medical history, including any conditions that might require special consideration.
