MASSAGE THERAPY

What's the difference between medical massage and stress reduction massage?

Medical massage is focused on addressing specific pathologies or dysfunctions within the body's internal organs, tissues, and musculoskeletal system. The goal is to reduce pain, improve function, and promote healing. In contrast, stress reduction massage primarily aims to alleviate physical and mental tension, promote relaxation, and enhance overall well-being.

When would someone seek out medical massage versus stress reduction massage?

Someone with a diagnosed medical condition or injury, such as sciatica, frozen shoulder, migraines, or digestive issues, would typically benefit more from medical massage. Clients looking to manage stress, anxiety, or simply unwind and recharge would be better suited for a stress reduction massage.

Are the techniques used in medical massage and stress reduction massage different?

Yes, the techniques vary significantly. Medical massage often utilizes deeper, more targeted techniques like trigger point therapy, myofascial release, and specific muscle manipulation to address the underlying pathology. Stress reduction massage, on the other hand, tends to be more gentle, using relaxing strokes like Swedish massage, light kneading, and soothing effleurage.

How do I determine which type of massage is right for me?

If you have a specific medical condition or injury, it's best to consult with your healthcare provider or a massage therapist who specializes in medical massage. For general stress management and relaxation, a stress reduction massage may be the better choice. It's always a good idea to communicate your goals and needs with the massage therapist so they can recommend the most appropriate treatment.
