Massage for Pain

Massage therapy for pain can include techniques from Swedish, Deep Tissue, Neuromuscular Therapy, Orthopedic, and Sports massage and Trigger Point Therapy. Each session is uniquely tailored to each clients’ individual needs, issues, and pain tolerance. Always let your therapist know if you are comfortable and if you have had any changes to your medical history.

Chronic pain can make life seem unmanageable. And pain medications can have harsh complications. Massage is an amazing complementary therapy that can easily work in conjunction with conventional treatments to increase efficacy and provide enhanced and lasting relief. Massage can help headaches, repetitive stress injuries, arthritis, muscle pain and stiffness, fatigue, fibromyalgia, muscle strains, discomfort related to postural imbalances, plantar fasciitis, muscle cramping, delayed onset muscle soreness, frozen shoulder, piriformis syndrome, sciatica, and much more! Regular massage can even prevent many chronic pain issues from recurring. With virtually zero negative side effects, massage therapy is a valuable health management tool!
