Medical massage is a therapeutic massage technique that is focused on addressing specific health conditions or medical issues. Unlike relaxation massage, which aims to promote general relaxation and well-being, medical massage is part of a treatment plan for various musculoskeletal or medical conditions.
The goal of medical massage is to alleviate pain, improve mobility, enhance circulation, and facilitate the body's natural healing process. It may involve a combination of different massage techniques, such as deep tissue massage, myofascial release, trigger point therapy, and stretching, depending on the individual's needs and the nature of their condition.
Medical massage therapists typically have advanced training and certifications in anatomy, physiology, and pathology, allowing them to assess and address specific health issues with precision and expertise.
Conditions that may benefit from medical massage include chronic pain, sports injuries, post-surgical rehabilitation, repetitive strain injuries, fibromyalgia, arthritis, and carpal tunnel syndrome, among others.
By targeting the underlying causes of pain and dysfunction, medical massage can help patients achieve long-term relief and improved quality of life.
