Massage Therapy

There are many types of massage therapy; all involve manipulating the muscles and other soft tissues of the body. At Optimum Wellness we use a blended approach of massage and wellness-based therapies in all of our sessions.

Medical and Orthopedic Massage

A therapeutic massage using relaxation and myo-fascial techniques to treat musculoskeletal pain problems/injuries, postural deviation, and sports injuries.

Myofascial / Deep Tissue Massage

Therapeutic bodywork that targets specific fascia/muscle restrictions by incorporating stretching, muscle energy and trigger point techniques. These techniques help to promote recovery of injured or strained muscles and chronic muscle tension.

Relaxation Massage

A therapeutic massage is a soothing touch utilizing gentle but firm pressure to improve circulation, decrease muscle soreness/tension, increase flexibility, and create relaxation.

Benefits of Massage Therapy

Reduction of inflammatory conditions such as arthritis and tendinitis

Stress relief and helps manage conditions like fibromyalgia

Decrease in the frequency of headaches and migraines

Helps aid in muscle recovery for runners, cyclists and weekend warriors

Repetitive strain injury, such as carpal tunnel syndrome

Testimonials

I think your frontal approach worked much better than previous massages I've had that mainly addressed my back and shoulder directly. I still have some soreness but mainly in my chest muscle. I am not having much pain at all in the place I usually do on the left shoulder blade. I also did a 3 1/2 hour bike ride on Sunday and had absolutely no ill effects related to it..

Overall, I truly feel you really helped me a lot and I think your approach combining massage with maintenance and strengthening exercises is very effective. I'm looking forward to continuing to get healthier and more balanced..
