Medical massage therapy in Tallahassee FL
Medical massage therapy is designed to strategically target medical conditions and injuries that are diagnosed by a physician. During your medical massage treatment, our therapists will use different massage techniques and procedures that are geared toward helping you manage or recover from those specific conditions or injuries.
It’s important to consult with a doctor or chiropractor first to ensure that you’re receiving the right form of medical treatment.
So – what are some reasons why your doctor might recommend medical massage for you?
- For treatment of sports injuries, car accident injuries, muscle pains, and more
- For treatment of musculoskeletal issues
- Issues related to chronic pain, disease or disability
- Physical therapy to build strength and flexibility
Your doctor will write specific recommendations for your licensed massage therapist to follow and will monitor your treatment and recovery. Good, open communication between you and your therapist is important. It’s how we know what’s working for you, how you feel and what response you are having to the massage techniques.
Once we’ve had a chance to understand you injury or condition, we may determine the appropriate form of massage therapy (in accordance with your doctor’s recommendations). This will be customized to you, your condition and your ability to respond to certain modalities. They may include:
Additionally, there are many other complementary types of massage that your therapist may use to help you, from deep tissue massage to specific sports massage treatments to lymphatic drainage massage.
More about our approach to medical massage in Tallahassee
Medical massage is a scientific therapy based on recognized physiological laws and associated principles designed to help the body maintain a level of homeostasis between the nervous and musculoskeletal systems.
It combines the scientific application of properly applied pressure, gentle ranges of motion and stretches for the purpose of relieving pain, normalizing muscle tone, restoring postural balance and achieving restorative benefits for the entire body thus eliminating the cause of a person’s acute to chronic myofascial pain and dysfunction.
To achieve these goals, many modalities of soft tissue manipulation are utilized.
These modalities require specialized training in post graduate techniques and are best utilized initially by a commitment to a three treatment “plan” to redirect the tissue dysfunction.
Most often the client will experience significant changes at this point (the road to recovery) and will be presented with options for how best to proceed with their individual needs.
Rates for this massage:
- 30 minutes $45.00
- 60 minutes $85.00
- 90 minutes $120.00
