Massage therapy is a type of manual therapy that includes the assessment and treatment of the musculoskeletal system. By interacting with the patient's nervous system through touch, a massage therapist can help to facilitate change in their muscles, joint, fascia, and other structures.

A massage therapy appointment includes the following:
Interview to gather information about your health history, what you would like to work on, and your goals.
Assessment to help determine which factors may be contributing to your symptoms.
Manual therapy (the hands on portion of the appointment). This may include an array of massage techniques, stretching, and movement. Your treatment is tailored to your preferences and goals.
Depending on your symptoms and goals, you may be prescribed with homecare. This can include exercises, stretches, and/or hydrotherapy. This homecare is recommended by your massage therapist to help you work towards your health goals.
