Therapeutic Massage for Specific Conditions

Relief from Disease, Injury and Pain
Recovery from auto accidents, cancer, carpal tunnel syndrome, headaches, migraines, surgery and other injuries, illness, diseases and conditions can be slow and painful. Massage can bring tremendous relief and speed recovery. There are over eighty types of massage. Our massage therapists are specialists in several types and use them in combination to treat individual patients.

Cancer: Cancer patients often receive massage to reduce pain, reduce swelling, improve circulation and stimulate the immune system. Improved circulation helps remove harmful waste products, increases the flow of oxygen and nutrients through out the body. Massage increases the production of endorphins, the bodies own pain relievers. Pain reduction is also a result of reduced swelling, removal of waste products and reduced tension. In most cases there is no risk of cancer spreading as a result of massage. Speak with your physician about your condition.

Carpal Tunnel Syndrome: Nerves pass through a small area from the wrist to the hand. When these nerves become inflamed, the wrist and forearm can become sore and painful. Massage is used to reduce swelling, remove painful adhesions and stretch the muscles.

Headaches: Stress and tension headaches can be treated by relieving tension in the muscles. Muscle tension plays a key role in making the pain of headaches worse. Vascular headaches are caused by blood vessel constriction. Massage improves circulation which relieves headache pain.

Migraines: Massage is one component of migraine treatment, which may also include lifestyle changes and medication.

Pregnancy: Massage can help relieve physical and emotional stresses experienced during pregnancy. Our massage therapists have received specialized training in how to safely release tension and strain during pregnancy, particularly in the low back, feet, legs and neck, including sciatica. Massage speeds recovery and healing after delivery, too.

Surgery: massage is successfully used before and after surgery to reduce pain, reduce swelling, improve circulation, reduce the formation of scar tissue and promote healing.
