What Is Therapeutic Massage?
Therapeutic massage is a clinical, results-oriented approach to massage therapy that uses evidence-based techniques to treat specific medical conditions, injuries, and chronic pain. Unlike relaxation massage which aims to make you feel good, therapeutic massage aims to make you feel better — addressing the root cause of your pain or dysfunction.
A therapeutic massage session begins with a thorough assessment of your condition, range of motion, and pain patterns. The therapist then creates a customized treatment plan combining techniques from multiple disciplines — deep tissue, myofascial release, trigger point therapy, neuromuscular techniques, and stretching — to achieve measurable clinical outcomes. Many therapeutic massage therapists work alongside physiotherapists and doctors as part of an integrated treatment approach.
