Medical Massage
Many doctors are finding that medical massage improves their patients quality of life by easing their chronic pain and improving their activities of daily living. Specialists, such as orthopedists, neurologists, and chiropractors are now prescribing medical massage as a complementary treatment.
Medical Massage is a goal-oriented treatment of soft tissue that can aid in reducing pain and tension. It also helps to decrease inflammation and muscle spasm, as well as increase range of motion.
If you have a condition or injury that may benefit from medical massage or you are unsure of any risks from massage therapy, ask your doctor about obtaining a prescription or referral.
If you have NYSHIP, you are covered for Medical Massage
Therapeutic Massage
Therapeutic Massage tends to be holistic, treating the whole person, and so doing increases our relaxation response. Most therapeutic massages focus on the entire body, not just one or two parts. Its aim is to soften tight muscles, tissue and fascia, and provide deep relaxation. At the same time, it can improve circulation and boost our energy.
A good therapeutic massage provided by experts can even improve our mood or general alertness, and so elevate our entire sense of well-being. Like Medical Massage, it too can be restorative, and facilitate healing or recovery from injury.
