THERAPEUTIC MASSAGE IN RENO

In addition to relaxing the body and mind, Therapeutic Massage has the additional intention of creating change and easing physical symptoms. This effective style of massage works great in conjunction with other modalities such as chiropractic and physical therapy to improve posture, range of motion, pain patterns, and muscular tension.

FAQs

Is therapeutic massage the same as deep tissue?
Some aspects of a therapeutic massage may work deeper into the tissue, but the intention is to be effective, and depth is not always necessary for that to take place.

Is therapeutic massage painful?
Therapeutic massage is not synonymous with pain, although there may be times that the therapist is working on an area that is more painful. You should always let the therapist know if your discomfort ascends above a 6 or 7 out of 10 on the pain scale.

Will my massage still be relaxing?
Although therapeutic massage is very intentional and aims to work on any areas of dysfunction, many people still find their session to be relaxing both physically and mentally. As your areas of tension begin to unravel, you will find your body in a new state of ease with long-term results.

How is Therapeutic Massage different from the Structural Bodywork sessions?
Therapeutic Massage sessions can be scheduled as frequently as you wish online and can focus on any area(s) that you find important that day. Structural Bodywork sessions are 3 sessions done in close succession, as a pre-paid package, and with pre-determined goals for each session. Although therapeutic sessions may “steal” some concepts from Structural Bodywork, Therapeutic massage visits are more muscle and soft tissue focused, while Structural Bodywork sessions are connective tissue and fascia focused (this is the casing that surrounds your muscles and structures). Many clients have found benefit from both types! Learn more about Structural Bodywork here.
