What is the difference between relaxation, therapeutic, and prescriptive massage?
Focus and intent. With relaxation massage the focus is broad to include all the major muscle groups and the intent is to calm and sooth. With therapeutic massage the focus is specific and the intent is to reduce pain and stiffness. Prescriptive massage is simply massage prescribed by a doctor for a diagnosis which is medically necessary and involves your insurance company. Some call this service medical massage.
