Benefits Of Medical Massage

Medical massage is different from therapeutic massage. Medical massage therapy is based on a manual therapy system of treatment that addresses the needs of clinical rehabilitation. Medical massage achieves this clinical criteria because it is...

applied as manual therapy to the specific area of pain
delivered to a region of the body based on evaluation of soft tissue and joint findings
not simply limited to tissues but also corrects abnormal conditions affecting the joint

The resulting benefits of medical massage are...

little or no pain during treatment
quicker recovery
less expense
professionally competent care

What Is Medical Massage?

Medical Massage is a system of manually applied techniques designed to...

reduce pain
establish normal tissue tonicity
create a positive tissue environment
normalize the movement of the musculoskeletal system

Goals of Medical Massage

enhance the general well being of the client by using manual techniques to release abnormal soft tissue tension
use soft tissue massage, along with active and passive stretching, to bring about a clinical change in the soft tissue
identify abnormally tense and rigid soft tissue, such as muscle, ligaments and fascia and apply a scientifically based system of corrective techniques.
avoid techniques that stimulate pain responses in the nervous system
educate the client about the causes of pain and what changes can be made to keep the pain from returning
treat the client with kindness, compassion and above all with respect and dignity
