Medical massage is result-oriented and specifically directed to assist in resolving conditions that have been diagnosed by a physician. Following a prescribed treatment plan, the therapist may use a variety of modalities or procedures, focusing the massage and manual therapies on areas of the body related to the diagnosis. As powerful as medical massage and manual therapy can be, it may be contraindicated in certain cases. Please consult with your chiropractic physician or health care provider to determine the appropriate treatment protocol.
