Massage
Designed to aid in the treatment of pain or injuries, orthopedic massage
offers a conceptual approach to the management of soft tissue spasm
and dysfunctions. The Neuromuscular (Trigger Point Therapy) massage
is geared toward the trigger points of the body, which are highly
sensitive areas in the muscle that cause localized pain and/or refer
pain to other areas of the body. The therapist applies concentrated
finger pressure to these points to break the cycles of spasm and pain.
Numerous research studies conducted in the United States, Europe,
and Asia have documented that far beyond simply “feeling good”, massage
therapy has an impressive range of physical, mental, and emotional
benefits.
