Medical Massage, Orthopedic Bodywork for Pain Relief

Massage Therapy, Deep Tissue Massage Bodywork provides incredible lasting relief from physical pain. Sessions include assessment of the body to isolate the underlying cause of pain and to dissolve stress that can make pain worse by aligning the body with gravity. Clients report freedom in flexibility and continued decrease of pain with a shorter recovery period, unlike anything they have previously experienced.

We Treat These Symptoms:

  • Sciatica
  • Plantar Fasciitis
  • Tennis Elbow
  • Pelvic Balancing
  • Leg Length Discrepancies
  • Golfers Elbow
  • Neck Cricks
  • Low Back Pain
  • Increased Range of Motion

Orthopedic Medical Massage Bodywork is a holistic discipline that looks at and integrates the entire person. When people produce stress they tend to carry it physically in the body. Every part of the body is effected by stress. Including the muscles, joints, tissues, organs, and cells. This, in turn, affects how we feel.

People come to us for outcome-oriented, results based bodywork. We align the body with gravity and dissolve emotional stress that can make the pain worse. After a few sessions they feel tremendous freedom, the pain is gone and they have their life back on track.

Taking Pain Away Without Surgery and Drugs

We work with the whole body to get a total release around inflamed, pinched, painful, or damaged joints and tissues. We are restoring tight, restricted tissues back to their natural, normal resting lengths. This includes both muscles and fascia to bring them back to their normal resting positions while balancing out fascia and muscles, aligning bones, and loosening and flushing tightly congested areas. Therefore, restoring tone to overstretched neurologically inhibited tissues to establish balance from back to front, on both the left and right sides, as needed. Furthermore, we break up and smooth out any related “tissue texture abnormalities.” We release bumps, knots, fibrotic tissues, and work to normalize them until we have smooth, soft, and supple tissue responding with fresh blood supply and clear nerve pathways working. Therefore, with tissues restored and balanced, the body becomes more flexible and resilient and can return to normal healthy tissues again.

Is Orthopedic Bodywork For You?

This isn’t just a regular massage that you would go to for the good “experience.” This kind of massage work feels great most of the time, but the intent is different. While we know how to do full-body massage therapy, it’s holistic. We look at the entire body, not just parts like sore muscles and where the pain is, but we look at ligaments, tendons, fascia, bones, joints, fluid, tissue textures, a balance between parts, and so forth. It’s outcome-oriented and results-based. People come here to get the best results, not just for the experience.

Let’s face it; being touched can feel great especially when your therapist knows how to touch you better than you’ve ever been touched before. But, sometimes, massage doesn’t feel so good, especially when there are inflamed, damaged, or painful tissues involved.  So, sometimes it can be painful. However, with a skilled therapist with developed skills in touch, we can work with the tissue instead of against it with force. It all has to do with how your massage therapist works with the central nervous system, both emotionally (with tapping therapy) and physically.

  • Working Only Muscles = Not Enough (typical massage)
  • Working Only Bones = Not Enough (typical Chiropractic)
  • Working Muscles and Bones = Enough! (Total Integrated Therapy)
  • Working Mind & Body = THE BEST (This is TOTAL INTEGRATED THERAPY)

Frequently Asked Questions

Ask The Expert

What’s the difference between conventional massage Therapy and orthopedic Bodywork, Sports Massage or medical Message?

The chief difference is flexibility, education, and experience on the practitioner’s part and the lasting results our clients get. The other main differentiation is that medical massage is goal or outcome-oriented. We look for the cause of discomfort. For instance, if someone has debilitating neck pain, the goal would be to figure out what is causing the pain and then address it. We want to get rid of the pain in the neck so it doesn’t return. Sometimes it requires a change of habits in what you may be doing as well. We do a lot of the same techniques in many diverse ways to produce results. It’s also a combination of knowledge, understanding with extensive experience where the typical massage requires less experience, understanding, knowledge, and training. This is the “Rolls Royce” of massage therapy.

How frequently should I get massaged?

It depends on the circumstance. If someone is needing quicker results for injury relief or chronic pain, we recommend consistent therapy for best results. On average, under “normal” circumstances, approximately 30% use their massage therapist once a week, 49% once or twice a month, and 21% come in as desired. If someone is in constant pain, we can work more often up to three times a week, given the situation, however with an acute injury; we require at least three days of icing to allow for inflammation and swelling to subside.

What are the advantages of Massage Therapy?

Below are some of the benefits of massage therapy:

  • Accident and injury prevention
  • Increasing the body’s envelope of range of motion
  • Reducing stress, tension, and fatigue
  • Increase relaxation
  • Correct posture (because muscles tug on bones)
  • Correct muscle imbalances
  • Correct destructive gravitational loads on the body
  • Increasing flexibility and range of motion
  • Promotes expansion of the rib cage and breathing
  • Works out abnormal restrictive tissues 
  • Speeds up healing and recovery from surgery or injury

How will I respond after the massage or bodywork session?

Sometimes people get uncomfortable after a massage. This is not due to damage when done correctly. Soreness is typically a biochemical response to moving about metabolic products and clearing away stagnant pockets of fluid in the tissues like lactic acid, among many others. These biochemicals can annoy receptors and prompt soreness. Massage arouses the healing and recovery process that happens after the massage, which generally occurs the day after therapy. Icing an area that has had deep treatment will decrease most inflammation and begin the healing and recovery phase and make any discomfort less noticeable.

Are their contraindications to doing massage?
  • A severe flare-up of inflammatory conditions such as rheumatoid arthritis 
  • Deep vein thrombosis

  • Frostbite

Sometimes permanent results require changing movement habits. We can show you precisely what modifications you need to make.
