Massage Therapy and Physical Therapy are complementary treatments. Massage Therapy increases blood flow to the affected areas which assists in the healing process, helps muscles to relax, and increases range of motion. Massage Therapy helps to decrease scar tissue and adhesions. Massage Therapy is an effective part of Physical Therapy to reduce pain, and relax muscles when done in conjunction with exercise and manual therapy techniques. Massage Therapy helps achieve long lasting healing effects.
