Clinical massage therapy is a specialized health care modality focused on the evaluation and treatment of soft tissue through manual manipulation. The purpose of clinical massage is to develop, maintain and rehabilitate the physical function of the massage patient.

A Clinical or Medical massage is usually performed for a rehabilitation necessity, which originates from an injury. The concentration of a Clinical massage can vary greatly depending on the severity and the location of the injury itself.

A Clinical massage will address the deeper muscles of the body to loosen tense muscles to relieve pain and discomfort, but more importantly to encourage a greater range of motion. Our therapists have an extensive knowledge of the human anatomy and physiology. We in turn, use this wealth of information to increase your range of motion and relieve pain and discomfort by using a wide array of techniques and massages.

We massage and release tense muscles that have been traumatized by either repetitive motion or by an accident and work towards restoring them to a healthy, natural state. Heat or ice packs may also be used to assist loosening the muscle tissue.

A Clinical massage will also help to improve circulation which helps flush the injured muscles of lactic acids that accumulated after the injury. Lactic acid occurs naturally in the body and is a by-product of a muscle trying to heal, it’s occurrence in the muscle is what causes soreness.
