Injured?
Get Checked!

If you are new to massage therapy, you may think of massages as a nice indulgence when you visit the spa. Sure, a massage feels good and is a great way to relax. However, massage therapy is much more than this. Our licensed massage therapists have studied the science behind this important treatment; mastering important techniques that may help your body heal and manage chronic pain.

Q: How does massage therapy help with my physiotherapy [Nevada clinics]/physical medicine modalities and therapeutic procedures (PMMTP) [Arizona clinics] treatments?
Massage therapy increases the effectiveness of our physiotherapy treatments by improving circulation to the injured areas, increasing the range of motion of the back, neck and extremity joints and decreasing muscle pain. It also releases endorphins, which help improve our patients’ moods, and it helps rid the body of toxins.

Q: Does therapeutic exercise really work?
Yes. Physiotherapy [Nevada clinics]/physical medicine modalities and therapeutic procedures (PMMTP) [Arizona clinics] can successfully treat your chronic or acute injuries and prevent future injuries. Some of the most common benefits include increased strength and flexibility and reduced pain. Physiotherapy/PMMTP treatments have also been scientifically proven to help individuals suffering from many neurological disorders, including cerebral palsy, strokes, traumatic brain injuries and injuries to the spinal cord.

Deep tissue massages use firm pressure and medium to long hand strokes to release tension in the deepest layers of the muscles. Unlike Swedish massages, deep tissue massages are used to facilitate healing after an injury or to relieve chronic pain. They are also a more focused type of massage. While your entire body may be massaged, the massage therapist pays particular attention to areas that are excessively tight and sore.

Sports massages can help your injuries heal faster when they are combined with chiropractic care and physical rehabilitation for your sports injury. These massages are used to alleviate pain and restore range of motion after an injury and are an integral part of the rehabilitative process.

R&R TIP: Sports injury massages are not total-body massages. They are not used to relax the entire body. Instead, they are used to manipulate the deep tissues, muscles, tendons and ligaments of a specific part of the body.
