Medical massage therapy is a specialized form of therapeutic massage focused on treating specific medical conditions, injuries, or chronic pain. It combines various techniques such as deep tissue massage, myofascial release, and trigger point therapy to address muscle tension, improve circulation, and promote healing. This type of massage is often prescribed by healthcare professionals to support rehabilitation and improve overall function, mobility, and well-being.
Deep tissue massage and medical massage are both focused on addressing muscle pain and tension, but they differ in their approach and purpose:
• Deep Tissue Massage targets the deeper layers of muscle and connective tissue, focusing on relieving chronic muscle tension and stiffness. The technique involves slow, firm pressure to break down muscle knots and improve flexibility, primarily used for general relaxation and stress relief.
• Medical Massage, on the other hand, is a more clinical approach, designed to treat specific medical conditions or injuries. It is customized to the individual’s needs and often involves techniques like trigger point therapy, myofascial release, or neuromuscular therapy. Medical massage is typically recommended by healthcare professionals to support rehabilitation, manage pain, and improve function following an injury or medical issue. At Loving Touch Massage Therapy in Lyndhurst, we offer both deep tissue and medical massage sessions.
The frequency of your massage sessions will depend on your individual needs and goals. Some people may benefit from weekly sessions, while others may only need one every few months. Your therapist can help you determine the best schedule for you.
