Massage Therapy Q&A

How can massage therapy enhance my healthcare plan?

Tight muscles and a stressed body can pull you out of alignment, slow healing, increase stress hormones, and disrupt your sleep. Massage therapy works with your overall treatment plan by:

Supporting pain management without relying solely on medication
Improving mobility and flexibility
Reducing muscle tension associated with chronic conditions
Promoting relaxation and stress reduction
Enhancing recovery from injury or illness

Massage therapy can also help break down scar tissue and adhesions, and many people experience longer-lasting relief by incorporating massage into their care.

What conditions can massage therapy address?

Your provider may include massage therapy in your care plan if you struggle with:

Chronic neck, back, and shoulder pain
Tension headaches and migraines
Muscle strains and overuse injuries
Joint stiffness and limited range of motion
Postural imbalances
Stress-related muscle tension
Recovery following injury or surgery

Treatment recommendations are based on clinical evaluation, patient comfort, and coordination with other therapies such as physical therapy or chiropractic care.

What can I expect during my massage therapy session?

When you arrive at Advanced Healthcare & Injury Center, LLC for your session, your massage provider reviews your health history, how you’re currently feeling, and what your goals are for treatment. Don’t hesitate to discuss any injuries, medical conditions, or areas of concern.

You lie on a padded massage table, covered with sheets or blankets for privacy. Only the area being worked on is uncovered. Techniques may include gentle relaxation massage, deep tissue work, or targeted therapeutic approaches. Your provider uses massage techniques based on your needs and comfort level, adjusting pressure and focus areas throughout the session.

Your full session may last 30-60 minutes, depending on what you need to address. After the session, they make recommendations about hydrating, stretching, and follow-up care.
