Potentially any condition can be helped due to the fact that the nervous system participates in all bodily functions.
The negative influence of trigger points on the nervous system makes many conditions worse, prolongs the duration of others, and can transform many acute conditions into chronic ones. Massage therapy helps clear the way for healing by interrupting the stress-tension-pain cycle, creating a more harmonious environment within the body.
Naturally there are some situations where deep tissue therapy is contraindicated for a period of time. Usually this applies to a particular area only and not the entire body. In these cases, working on the secondary affected areas is of prime importance in aiding the healing process. We are happy to work with any guidelines set by your doctor, and to refer you to other health professionals when needed. We believe that you are ultimately responsible for your own health and we will offer you a program that will meet your individual needs.
