What happens during a therapeutic massage?

Your session begins with a one-on-one discussion where the therapist learns about your specific concerns, whether it's stress, pain, or tension. This ensures your massage is customized to your needs.

The therapist applies various massage techniques such as Swedish, deep tissue, or trigger point therapy, all adjusted to your comfort level. If you have areas that need more attention, the therapist will focus on them, using just the right pressure.

The Benefits Of Therapeutic Massage Therapy
Whether you are coming due to a sore back or severe chronic pain, a therapeutic massage can help you relax. Your therapist helps soothe and relieve muscle aches, which will, in turn, reduce stress, improve your sleep, and improve your mood.
Therapeutic massage therapy has become an even more popular treatment as the world experiences more stress, aggression, and anxiety-ridden situations.
A therapeutic massage lets someone let go of most of that tension that would have built up or stretched out those tight muscles pulled from bad posture or lifting something when the body is tired.
