Medical massage therapy is a results-based massage and is performed as part of a health care provider's overall treatment plan.

ADVANTAGES OF MEDICAL MASSAGE:

The specific benefits of medicinal massage therapy depend on the condition being treated. However, the benefits of therapy can include:

• Helps relieve inflammation and pain
• Disables myofascial trigger points
• Helps with digestion
• Calms and calms the nervous system
• Improves posture and coordination
• Helps prevent future chronic pain conditions
• Improves flexibility and freedom of movement
• Relieves sore and tense muscles

Medical massage has been shown to be very effective in reducing cases of future chronic pain conditions by effectively treating the root cause of the problem. Recent studies have shown that the vast majority of chronic disease pain, over 80%, comes from soft tissue injuries and over 74% is directly related to trigger points. Medical massage therapy not only removes the root cause of the pain and helps individuals lead a less painful life, but it is also very inexpensive. You will spend less time outside of work or deal with the side effects of pain reliever medication. If you suffer from chronic pain, medical massage may be right for you.
