Key Benefits of Medical Massage

1. Pain Relief
   Medical massage is highly effective in reducing chronic pain caused by conditions such as fibromyalgia, arthritis, and back injuries. By targeting affected muscle groups and trigger points, it helps alleviate discomfort and restore function.
2. Improves Circulation & Reduces Inflammation
   Through specialized techniques, medical massage enhances blood flow, delivering oxygen and nutrients to damaged tissues. This process aids in reducing inflammation and promoting faster healing.
3. Supports Injury Recovery
   Medical massage is often used to aid recovery from sports injuries, post-surgical healing, and musculoskeletal disorders. It can improve flexibility, reduce scar tissue formation, and enhance mobility.
4. Enhances Nervous System Function
   By reducing tension and promoting relaxation, medical massage can help regulate the nervous system, benefiting conditions such as sciatica, neuropathy, and migraines.
5. Manages Stress & Anxiety
   While primarily therapeutic, medical massage also provides stress relief by reducing cortisol levels and promoting overall relaxation, which is essential for holistic healing.

Session Length & Maintenance Recommendations

Medical massage sessions are typically shorter than relaxation massages, often lasting 15 to 60 minutes, depending on the treatment plan. Because medical massage targets specific conditions, a licensed massage therapist (LMT) may recommend a series of sessions for optimal results. Additionally, maintenance treatments may be suggested to help prevent recurrence of pain or injury.
