Massage Therapy

Massage therapy is a passive treatment technique used for recovery, general health and relaxation with highly valuable benefits for acute or chronic health conditions.  Massage therapy can be especially beneficial when provided in conjunction with other active forms of care.  PAARTS providers are Board Certified in Therapeutic Massage and Bodywork.  This allows for a continuum of care between traditional and non-traditional approaches.

As one of the most beneficial types of passive treatment we offer, therapeutic massage involves a wide range of specific hands-on techniques to target precise tissues in your body, including muscles, fascia, lymph nodes, joints, and tendons.

Styles of Massage Therapy include:

• Circulatory Massage
• Deep Tissue Massage
• Sports Massage
• Medical Massage
• Lymphatic Massage
• Myofascial Release
• Neuromuscular Reeducation
• Trigger Point Therapy
• Visceral Massage

Who can receive massage therapy?

Everyone from young toddlers to seniors can benefit from therapeutic massage. Massage therapy techniques aretruly safe for just about anyone.

Specific benefits of therapeutic massage include:

• Improved circulation and lymphatic drainage
• Accelerated healing
• Reduced swelling and inflammation
• Improved range of motion
• Reduced pain
• Decreased adhesions and scar tissue formation

• Improved mood

We use therapeutic massage to help people manage or recover from a wide range of conditions, including back and neck pain, migraines, diabetic nerve pain, sports and auto-accident related injuries, post-surgical healing, fibromyalgia, arthritis, stress relief and even psychological disorders including anxiety and depression (mental and emotional stress is often neurologically carried into and stored in physical tissues).  We are not only concerned with symptom relief; we want to identify and resolve the underlying cause of your symptoms so that your healing and relaxation will be more complete and longer lasting.
