“Medical Massage” is outcome based bodywork techniques that are geared towards specific medical conditions or injuries. While many massage therapists can provide a general stress relieving Swedish massage, if you have a chronic or acute condition or pain syndrome it is crucial to do your research before choosing your practitioner in order to see results. Establishing a relationship with a bodyworker who can understand your medical needs and facilitate a treatment plan in accordance to your individual condition is essential to proper care. Massage is an excellent addition to any Acupuncture treatment because it activates your parasympathetic nervous system allowing healing to occur more readily.

- Carpal Tunnel Syndrome
