Therapeutic Massage In The Comfort Of Your Home
  


Medical Massage
Medical Massage is result-oriented and the treatment is specifically directed to resolve conditions that have been diagnosed and prescribed by a physician. The Massage Therapist may use a variety of modalities or procedures during the treatment but will focus that treatment mostly on the areas of the body related to the diagnosis and prescription.
Benefits of Medical Massage
  • Releases tight and sore muscles which can cause Ischemia:
    Ischemia - A lack of blood supply to soft tissues, which causes hypersensitivity to the touch and allows for futher injury to the tissues.


  • Helps relieve nerve compression or entrapment:
    Pressure on a nerve by soft tissue, cartilage or bone, which can contribute to muscle atrophy, referred pain, paresthesia and conditions such as sciatica, piriformis syndrome, and others.

  • Decreases pain and inflammation:
    Massage can restore suppleness and strength to your muscles, improving their overall function. It is the ideal treatment for releasing tension or muscles in spasm and helps to release toxins such as lactic acid (produced by muscle tissue during exercise.


  • Alleviates Stress and Improves Circulation:
    Proper circulation is vital to continued health. Your blood and lymph carry nourishment to the trillions of cells throughout your body and then carry away the waste to be eliminated from the cells. Massage encourages a better exchange of nutrients at the cellular level and more thorough detoxification.


  • Aids in Digestion:
    Massage can improve digestive motility.


  • Increases Flexibility and Range of Motion:
    By reducing hypertonicity and hypotonicity the muscles allow for normal range of motion to be restored. This also reduces the forces being applied to the joint capsule and diminishes the potential for joint and disk degeneration.


  • Calms the Nerves System:
    The first sense to develop is your sense of touch. It is not surprising when you consider that each square inch of your skin contains roughly 50 nerve endings. With as many as five million total touch receptors in your skin relaying messages to your brain, your body's initial response to massage is to relax and de-stimulate. Even a simple touch has been shown to lower blood pressure and reduce the heart rate. Touch can also signal the brain to produce endorphins, your body's natural pain suppressors. The nervous system is your communication network, sending messages constantly that determine proper functioning throughout your body. Stress can affect the ability of the nervous system to do its job. The many nerve endings found in the skin and muscles are soothed by massage, and this contribues to keeping your internal lines of communication open and operational.


  • Improves Posture and Coordination.
