MASSAGE THERAPY AT FORM & FUNCTION
Massage therapy is a hands-on treatment that involves manipulation of the soft tissues of the body to alleviate muscle tension, promote relaxation, and enhance overall well-being. It encompasses various techniques such as kneading, stroking, and applying pressure to specific points on the body.
Massage therapy offers a wide range of benefits for both physical and mental health. Massage therapy is commonly used to treat a range of conditions including muscle tension and stiffness, stress and anxiety, chronic pain such as lower back pain, headaches, sports-related injuries, and conditions like fibromyalgia and arthritis.
During your first massage appointment, you’ll have a consultation to discuss your medical history, concerns, and goals. Afterward, you’ll undress to your comfort level and lie on the massage table. The therapist will then begin the massage, adjusting techniques based on your feedback.
The number of treatment sessions needed varies depending on the individual’s condition, goals, and response to massage therapy. Some people may find relief after just one session, while others may benefit from regular sessions over a period of time. Your massage therapist can provide guidance on the recommended frequency and duration of sessions based on your specific needs.
