Can massage therapy help me with pain brought on by a medical condition?
A Yes. Massage therapy can help to alleviate or eliminate pain stemming from a wide range of medical conditions that include low back pain, neck pain and whiplash, fibromyalgia, lupus, myofascial pain syndrome, sciatica, carpal tunnel syndrome, temporal-mandibular joint dysfunction (TMJD) pain, migraines, and others. Some of the techniques we use for pain relief such as Neuromuscular Therapy (NMT) and Myofascial Release, are highly effective in providing relief from pain. Energetic work such as Acupressure, Reiki, and Cranial Sacral Therapy (CST) while employing very light touch can also be very effective. There are some conditions for which massage is contraindicated, ask your doctor and make sure to tell your massage therapist, what condition you’re seeking relief for.
