Massage Therapy

Therapeutic massage therapy is part of the hands-on manual approach at SICL. As with all manual therapies, massage therapy – which deals specifically with the muscular and other soft tissues of the body – promotes balance and direct healing to the neuro-musculoskeletal systems. The therapeutic effects include:

• Reduced pain and the accompanying stress response
• Increased circulation and metabolism
• Detoxification
• Improved lymphatic drainage
• Increased range of motion (joints)
• Increased elasticity of muscles
• Decreased muscle spasm
• Less fatigue
• Maintenance of healthy skin function

Medical Massage Therapy is a covered expense under some major medical insurance plans.

In addition to effectively treating many health conditions and injuries, massage therapy is used as a restorative to promote general wellness. Patients are welcome – indeed, encouraged – to continue to receive massage therapy after rehabilitative services are complete.
