Often referred to as “specific injury treatment” massage, medical massage has the express purpose and intent of healing an injury or overuse syndrome by addressing both the obvious symptoms, as well as the underlying cause.

To this end, a medical massage therapist must have a strong structural knowledge of the human body–both in form and function.

Since the therapist has a targeted, specific healing goal as a focus, they begin with the end in mind.

It is their job to analyze your dysfunction by listening to your history, watching how your bodymoves, assessing your posture and gaining a sense of your discomfort by feeling your soft-tissues–muscles, tendons and ligaments. It is both left-brain (analyzing, assessing, synthesizing), as well as right-brain (sensing, feeling, intuiting).

Who can refer you for a Medical Massage?

A Medical Massage is referred by any valid referring practitioner *(MD, DO, ARNP, PA-C, DC, ND) and billed to your insurance. We document each treatment, keep thorough medical charts, and keep your physician updated on your progress. This is enormously helpful if you’ve been in an automobile accident or sustained a work injury where you’ll need substantiating evidence of all your medical care.
