THERAPEUTIC MASSAGE vs CLINICAL  MASSAGE:

Medical/Clinical massage incorporates many of the same techniques as therapeutic massage, along with more advanced modalities. Medical massage includes orthopedic testing and treatment plan. One of the most common technique used in medical massage is myofascial mobilization to reduce connective tissue restrictions, scar tissue, and open nerve roots. 

The goal of medical technique is to produce permanent changes in the soft tissue and it has to be done regularly as a treatment. 

Clinical massage therapy goes far beyond relaxation. Each session is a therapeutic and individualized treatment designed to address the underlying causes of pain, dysfunction, and movement limitations.

After a thorough assessment—including your health history, posture, movement patterns, and areas of pain—your session will be tailored using advanced modalities such as:

• Myofascial Therapy (MFT): Releases fascial restrictions and chronic tension.

• Neurokinetic Therapy (NKT): Identifies muscle imbalances and movement dysfunctions at the neurological level.

• Posture & Alignment Therapy (PAT): Realigns joints and retrains proper posture for long-term relief.

This is not a cookie-cutter massage—it is targeted, clinical bodywork aimed at restoring your body's balance, improving function, and reducing or eliminating pain over time. Your session may also include corrective exercises for home care, empowering you to actively participate in your healing process.

Therapeutic massage doesn't include orthopedic assessment and treatment plan. It focuses on reducing muscle tension and discomfort and promote general relaxation for the whole body.
