Therapeutic

Therapeutic Massage is a broad term.  Sports Massage, Deep Tissue Massage, and Medical Massage all fall under the umbrella of Therapeutic Massage.  Using the term therapeutic massage is a way to indicate that the purpose of the massage is meant to offer health benefits.  Another meaning for therapeutic massage could be that the client, as well as the massage therapist share the goal of achieving structural changes in the body.  This is usually the case. 

We have included therapeutic massage on our service menu to try and eliminate confusion for you when scheduling your appointment.  Maybe you don’t want a relaxation massage.  Maybe you’re not an athlete, or you don’t like deep pressure.  If this is the case, and you are having pain or discomfort in certain muscles then therapeutic massage is what you are looking for.

With a therapeutic massage session your massage therapist will usually start by asking a few questions to assess your current condition.  They will then propose an approach to treatment.  Once your massage session is over, they will evaluate the outcome.  Depending on the results your massage therapist will recommend what further treatment you may need.
