Orthopedic massage therapy focuses on the muscles and soft tissues surrounding joints. The aim of orthopedic massage is to relieve pain while restoring balance to the tissues and create a fuller range of motion. Orthopedic Massage Therapy is the centerpiece of the treatment employing Neuromuscular therapies, Active and Passive Isolated Stretching, Myofascial Release, and Intrinsic Joint Mobilization combined with traditional superficial to deep tissue massage in order to engage and recalibrate the kinesthetic sense of the client.

Your therapeutic massage will begin with a brief consultation regarding your general health, problem conditions, and desired results, which, combined with a physical assessment, will be used to create a session customized to meet your specific needs. All sessions include aromatherapy and are performed on the Body Support System.

The Body Support System is a high-tech, high-quality orthopedic body positioning device that can be utilized in prone, supine, and side-lying positions. Advantages of the Body Support System include:  

• Supports the body without creating pressure

• Relaxes muscles, maximizing access and range of motion
