Massage Therapy

About Massage Therapy

Massage can influence soft tissue healing. As a Massage therapist I will choose my technique based in part on the stage of healing of the injured tissue. Gentle techniques are used in acute and sub-acute injury stages to aide in proper arrangement of Fibrils and to prevent adhesions. Later chronic stages of healing require deeper techniques to decrease adhesions, improve scar extensibility and increase overall mobility of tissues.
