Who doesn't love a massage
What is different about MSR massages as opposed to massages one typically receives at a spa is that we focus on the condition and the source of the pain. We do not waste any time in the area where massage is not needed.
At MSR, massage is performed based on outcome. It is primarily the application of specific treatment protocols targeted to the specific problem(s) the patient presents with a physician’s diagnosis, and is administered after a thorough assessment/evaluation by our medical team.
Medical massages are known to have great results when used in conjunction with other treatment modalities. Massage can be very effective in treatments for sore or spastic muscles, nerve compression or entrapment, sciatica, muscle spasms, chronic pain syndrome, and soft tissue inflammation. It can also aid in in restoration of suppleness and strength of muscles, management of stress, improved blood circulation, decrease inflammation, increased flexibility and range of motion, and restore proper posture.
