Many people get a massage to help with relaxation and stress relief, but massage therapy can also be used to treat so much more. Massages focus on everything from injury-specific needs to promoting overall health and wellness. At Baptist Rehab, our massage therapists treat a spectrum of patients - from those who may suffer from chronic pain, headaches, dysfunction from a sports injury to those who need general relaxation.
Practiced as a healing therapy for centuries and around the world, massage helps relieve muscle tension, reduce stress and evoke feelings of calmness. Although massage affects the whole body, it particularly benefits musculoskeletal, circulatory, lymphatic, and nervous systems.
Our Approach
Your massage therapist will first ask you about any symptoms you may have (like low back pain) and your medical history. You may also talk about what you expect to achieve from the massage session and any goals you have for your massage therapy treatments.
