Therapeutic massage is a targeted approach to massage therapy that focuses on addressing specific musculoskeletal issues and promoting functional recovery. It is commonly used to relieve muscle pain, improve mobility, reduce tension, and support rehabilitation from injury or overuse.

This form of massage involves a combination of techniques that are selected based on the individual’s needs, physical condition, and treatment goals. Pressure can range from light to deep, depending on the area being treated and the desired outcome. Sessions often focus on problem areas such as the neck, shoulders, lower back, or legs to help reduce discomfort and improve performance.

Techniques used during a therapeutic massage may include:

• Trigger point therapy to release tight knots and relieve referred pain

• Deep tissue work to address chronic tension in deeper muscle layers

• Stretching and mobilization to improve flexibility and range of motion

• Myofascial techniques to release restrictions in connective tissue

Therapeutic massage is well-suited for individuals dealing with injury recovery, chronic pain, postural imbalances, or repetitive strain. It is both corrective and preventative, offering a practical way to support physical function, reduce stress, and enhance overall well-being.
