Massage therapy is a form of treatment that reduces stress in the body by increasing blood circulation to the injured region. A typical massage therapy session consists of working your body's hard and soft tissues to support the recovery process.

What Should I Expect From My First Massage Therapy Session?

We will ask general medical questions about any injuries or chronic conditions. We will perform a thorough examination to confirm that massage therapy is the right course of action. We may ask you to provide a list of your recent illnesses and the medications you are currently taking. This information will help us create a treatment plan that meets your needs.
