What is a Therapeutic Massage?

A therapeutic massage is a clinical approach to bodywork that utilizes various techniques to manipulate the soft tissues (muscles, fascia, tendons, ligaments) of the body. Unlike a spa massage that focuses primarily on relaxation, therapeutic massage targets specific areas to address pain, improve circulation, and enhance mobility.

Therapeutic massage could draw from one kind of massage technique, or from an array of approaches that can be used in an integrative way to address the client’s specific ailments, discomfort, or dis-ease on any level physically, mentally, or emotionally.  Therapeutic massage can be a stress outlet from the ensuing muscle tensions of general life pressures, and accordingly, anxiety, ameliorating both stress and strain.  Karen, a holistically minded life coach who encompasses mindfulness practices and draws primarily from the following kinds of massage and bodywork: craniosacral therapy, medical massage, reflexology, shiatsu, trigger point massage, neuromuscular movement therapy, deep tissue massage (similar to neuromuscular massage), and table stretching is uniquely skilled to help client’s with a fitting therapeutic self-care plan to support their natural healing mechanism, addressing general and specific complaints or ailments as needed.

Further, clients can opt to create a massage plan that includes yoga to help support their healing process for targeted areas, as well. Stretching and exercise is part of massage therapy, and especially part of medical massage and therapeutic type work.  Mindfulness meditation is also useful in addressing stress and pain as well.  Contemporary mindfulness research has shown it to be a very important component for pain management and a great asset in attaining an overall sense of wellness.
