Therapeutic Massage utilizes moderate to firm pressure to effectively address and release tight muscles, chronic tension, and specific problem areas throughout the body. This focused massage therapy aims to alleviate discomfort, improve mobility, and aid in recovery from physical stress or injury, fostering deep relief and restoration for those needing more intensive bodywork.
Therapeutic Massage is a targeted approach to bodywork that applies varied techniques to access deeper layers of muscle and connective tissue. Unlike purely relaxation-focused massages, it is designed to pinpoint and alleviate chronic muscle pain, improve range of motion, and reduce soreness from overuse or injury. The pressure is adjusted from moderate to firm, tailored to each individual's needs and tolerance, to promote significant release in stubborn areas.
A Therapeutic Massage session at Wellness & Beyond MediSpa begins with a detailed consultation to identify your specific concerns, areas of tension, and any discomfort. The massage therapist will then apply moderate to firm pressure using techniques such as deep tissue strokes, trigger point therapy, myofascial release, and friction. Focus will be placed on "problem areas" identified during the consultation, working to lengthen muscle fibers, break down adhesions, and release chronic knots. Throughout the session, communication with your therapist ensures the pressure is effective yet comfortable, guiding the relief of muscle tightness and restoration of optimal function.
1. Targeted Muscle Release:
Applies moderate to firm pressure to effectively loosen and release chronically tight muscles, knots, and areas of deep tension.
2. Pain Alleviation:
Helps to reduce chronic pain, stiffness, and discomfort associated with muscle overuse, postural issues, or specific injuries.
3. Improved Mobility and Flexibility:
By releasing muscle restrictions, the massage enhances range of motion in joints and improves overall body flexibility.
4. Faster Recovery:
Supports the body's natural healing process by increasing blood flow to injured areas and reducing inflammation in muscles.
Swedish massage uses lighter pressure for general relaxation, while Therapeutic massage applies moderate to firm pressure with targeted techniques to release deeper muscle tension and address specific problem areas.
While moderate to firm pressure is used, the goal is effective relief, not pain. You may feel intense sensation or some discomfort as tight areas release, but your therapist will work within your comfort level.
Therapeutic Massage sessions are often 60 or 90 minutes, allowing sufficient time to thoroughly address specific muscle groups and problem areas.
It is beneficial for chronic muscle tension, stiffness, back and neck pain, repetitive strain injuries, posture issues, and recovery from intense physical activity or minor injuries.
