Orthopedic Massage (OM) is an efficient and effective form of therapy for soft tissue injuries to help restore optimal function to sites of injury and dysfunction. Based on clinical research and study, OM is a blend of massage and manual therapy.

The goal of orthopedic massage is to ‘normalize’ muscle tissue, which involves dissolving muscle adhesions, lengthening connective tissue, hydrating the joints, releasing entrapped nerves, and decreasing scar tissue. This is an ideal form of therapy if you are experiencing pain and decreased mobility. Orthopedic massage (OM) is a powerful yet gentle bodywork technique designed to provide lasting, functional improvement to people with orthopedic conditions such as low back pain, neck stiffness, neck pain, rotator cuff injuries, frozen shoulder, knee injuries, arthritis, tennis elbow, carpel tunnel syndrome and others.

The major aspect of this technique is assisted movement and voluntary isometric contraction called Muscle Energy Technique or MET. METs are used to effectively reduce trigger points quickly and painlessly, reduce muscle tension due to postural imbalances and speed the recovery of soft tissue trauma and injuries. MET is painless to receive and achieves great results in a fraction of the time that most other techniques require.
