Massage Therapy

What is Massage Therapy?

Massage therapy involves the manipulation of soft tissues in the body, including muscles, tendons, ligaments, and connective tissue. It is an effective way to relieve discomfort caused by everyday stress, muscle overuse, and chronic pain conditions.

What to expect at your first visit

During your first visit, you’ll complete a confidential health history form as part of the assessment process. Your massage therapist will then discuss your specific needs and any factors contributing to your condition. Together, you’ll create a treatment plan to ensure the right approach for your care. This plan can be adjusted as needed and will be reassessed at appropriate times to track your progress.
