Therapeutic massage
What it is and what to expect
What
Therapeutic massage is the melting pot of massage modalities. We use deep tissue techniques, sports massage stretches, light superficial work and much more to give the client the best outcome of their massage.
WHy
Therapeutic work is beneficial because it doesn’t keep your therapist in a box to best assist the client. Every modality is used as needed to best reach the desired outcome of the client - to assist in pain management.
Need to know
Therapeutic massage is not straight forward. The therapist relies on communication with the client to reach the best result that meets the client’s expectations. This involves communication for consent to stretch, to inform the client what the therapist finds in palpation, and provide further recommendations that will help the client gain the most pain relief.
Is it for me?
