What is a Therapeutic Massage?

Therapeutic massage is a general term encompassing various massage techniques that are geared towards addressing specific physical or emotional wellbeing concerns. For example, you may want a massage that helps alleviate pain, reduces stress, or improve mobility—or all three.

Though the term therapeutic massge is often equated with deep tissue massage, they’re not the same. Deep tissue is one technique that can be used during a therapeutic massage. However, some clients don’t enjoy deep tissue pressure, so other treatment modalities can be incorporated to achieve the same results.

Before your massage begins, your massage therapist will speak with you about any special considerations or concerns you may have.

Overall, therapeutic massage is beneficial in many ways, including:

• pain relief

• stress reduction

• improved circulation

• increased flexibility

• boosted immune system

• better sleep

And if you’d like to enhance your therapeutic massage,  you can choose add-ons. The following ones are especially nice during winter:

• seasonal foot scrub

• Eco-fin hand treatment

• Eco-fin foot treatment

The Eco-fin treatments offer a cruelty-free paraffin alternative, which means no paraffin, petroleum derivatives, synthetic fragrances, or dyes.
