Medical Massage
You may wish to begin receiving medical massage if you have suffered an injury or you have
a medical condition that massage can help with. There are may medical conditions that benefit
from massage. If you have questions regarding whether medical massage will benefit
you, please speak with Monique in person, by phone or via email.
At the first session, Monique will discuss what brought you in, do an evaluation, provide
initial treatment and discuss a treatment plan tailored to your needs.
Medical massage utilizes a blend of different massage techniques including: myofascial
release, trigger point, scar tissue work and stretching. In addition to massage techniques,
other natural modalities may be incorporated into your treatment such as the use of hot
and cold packs, soaks, applied kinesiology and medicinal oil use. You may also be
given exercises that you can do at home to improvie your condition or referred for
additional treatment such as chiropractic care.
The one hour sessions are designed to address your medical condition in the most soothing
way possible. Monique will wokr within your comfort level at all times. It is important to
note that typically, a problem will benefit the most from a series of treatments, one
building on the other.
You can expect noticeable pain relief and greater range of motion after the first session,
with noticeable results within the first few treatments.
