Unlike traditional massage, medical massage is a specific session tailored to your pain issues. We use a blend of massage therapy techniques and manual therapy applications such as Deep Tissue Massage, Myofascial Release, Active Isolated Stretching, and Myoskeletal Technique. Sessions may require application of magnetic therapy, Trigger Point tens unit, or moist heat.

We identify your discomfort, work the root cause and lastly stretch the affected area. Proper medical massage therapy brings about physiological change that will reduce or eliminate pain, return optimal range of motion and promote overall well-being.

Regular medical massage has been shown to provide long lasting or permanent removal of discomfort.

Assessment

The first step in pain relief is to understand exactly what the problem is. Initial medical massage assessments run 10 to 15 minutes. Your massage therapist will start by asking important questions about your pain, job and lifestyle to get a clearer understanding of your situation. They may have you perform certain movements or tests. They will then explain in detail how/what they think is going on and outline the plan for the massage.

 

Attire

We suggest women wear shorts, and either a tank top or sports bra. Men can wear just gym shorts. Depending on our goals for the massage, we may have you undress further to your comfort level. The less clothing may make it easier for your massage therapist to work. You will be fully draped under a sheet and blanket in accordance with Texas State law at all times.

 

Treatment

Your massage therapist will leave the room while you get situated. Then your medical massage will begin. Once your therapist begins working, they will have a much better idea of your condition. If your massage therapist notices a problem that may change the effectiveness of the outlined therapy, they may adjust course of that massage, with your permission of course. This phase is about finding out exactly what needs to be corrected, while getting started on it at the same time.

 

Protocols
Once the medical massage is complete, your therapist may have more questions for you. The effectiveness of the massage needs to be determined. Based on your level of results, your massage therapist will devise a protocol and explain the best course of action for you to get lasting results. This will include frequency of future sessions, home stretching exercises and etc.
