Do you suffer from symptoms caused by an accident, on the job injury, an illness or from lives collective chronic dysfunctions? If you do you are not alone, many people live with either acute pain, chronic pain or physical dysfunction.

The actual cause of symptoms go undiagnosed in many cases or poorly treated by medications or therapies that have little or no effect.

That is very unfortunate since the answer is actually close at hand, literally. It is common for us to hear reports of an 80% decrease in pain or a 50% increase in range of motion from our patients following their first visit.

Massage is a viable treatment that can have profound effects. Complete relief of acute pain or greatly reduced and more easily managed symptoms that are chronic in nature are the results of specific, goal driven massage.

Most pain or discomfort felt in the body is caused by or compounded by muscle imbalance or dysfunction. No other therapy can match the efficacy of well guided massage techniques like myofacial release, trigger point therapy or deep tissue. Muscles respond very well to an hour of focused, hands on attention from the therapist on your specific areas of concern.

By relieving the tightly contracted muscles and lengthening them to their normal state, we can begin to reverse pain and improve function.

Here are a few conditions that can be effectively treated with massage.

• Low back pain
• Tension headaches
• Sciatica
• Whiplash   
• Shoulder pain
• Tendonitis
• Muscle spasms
