NJ Medical Massage and Orthopedic Massage Therapy

Anybody can receive this type of massage for pain relief but many times Medical Massage and Orthopedic Massage Therapy will be prescribed by a Physician. Medical Massage and Orthopedic Massage Therapy are result oriented and the treatment is specifically directed to resolve orthopedic conditions.

The Physician will provide their patient a prescription for massage that will inform the massage therapist of the diagnosis, the treatment plan and the treatment codes. The therapist may use a variety of modalities or procedures during the treatment, but will focus the Medical and Orthopedic Massage treatment only on the areas of the body related to the diagnosis and prescription.

Since it is beyond Massage Therapists' scope of practice to diagnose, the therapist must work from a doctor's prescription if they are claiming to treat a specific condition. Non-prescribed therapy may also be administered to address clients, where assessment shows soft-tissue imbalances.

I will help you beat your pain

Few people depend on their bodies like a fighter. The physical conditioning required is intense and when it comes down to it, only the strong survive.

Running and Endurance Sports

Endurance athletes, especially runners, know the effects of gravity better than most. Whether your running a Marathon, Triathlon or running for fitness, every strike of the foot to the pavement sends awesome amounts of force into the body. Everyone has experienced the negative effects this can have on the body.

Movement Practices - Yoga, Pilates, Dance

I will help you take your practice to the next level

The body functions at its best when movement and energy expands from the core and flows outward without restriction. Stress can cause structural imbalances and restrictions in the fascial layers of the body that will impede this flow, making access to the core more challenging.
