What to Expect

Massage Therapy involves the assessment and treatment of both general and soft tissue & joint dysfunction in order to promote well-being. Prior to hands-on treatment, your therapist will go over your confidential case history, assess your needs via muscle testing, range of motion testing and questions relating to your daily activities  (i.e. work environment, exercise routines, etc.)

The therapist will then propose a treatment for which your consent is required, which can be rescinded at any time. It is important to remember to voice any questions or concerns before giving your consent. The information you give your therapist, both verbally and written, is kept in the strictest confidence. This information will be kept safeguarded unless or until you sign a consent form to release your records to another health care professional.

Massage Therapy involves fixed or movable pressure,  vibration, rocking, friction, kneading and compressing, using primarily the hands but possibly other areas of the therapists' body, such as the forearms or elbows. These techniques are used for the benefit of the musculoskeletal, circulatory-lymphatic, nervous, and other systems of the body.
