Massage Therapy uses hands-on techniques to help the body heal its injuries and also to prevent injuries from occurring.

 Massage on normal tissue is almost always a pleasant feeling. Massage to an area of injury or chronic pain may cause some discomfort at first which usually lessens as the tissues release. Your massage therapist knows how to minimize the pain and will work with your pain tolerance. Always tell your massage therapist if you feel any discomfort so he/she can make the appropriate adjustments.

There are some conditions for which massage is not appropriate. A thorough case history is documented at your first visit to identify these conditions. If you have a medical condition, let your primary health care provider know you are receiving massage. Your massage therapist will gladly provide regular progress reports to your doctor upon request.
