How does massage relieve pain?
 A simple and direct strategy: working from the external, outer mechanisms of pain to the primary, root cause. Focuses on the entire body system and its relationship to soft tissue - not solely on the site of pain.
Benefits of massage for pain relief:
|
Helps patients become more aware of their bodies and the sources of pain.
|
|
Better familiarizes patients with the pain they experience.
|
|
Has an impact on the patient by virtue of human touch.
|
|
Improves confidence by encouraging patients to effectively cope with their pain.

What should someone expect during a massage?
Your massage therapist will ask questions about what prompted you to get a massage , will want background information about your physical condition, medical history, lifestyle, stress levels and any painful areas and will ask what your health goals are and will discuss how massage may help you achieve those goals. During a one-on-one massage, you will be asked to remove clothing to your level of comfort. Clothing is not removed during "chair" massages. Trained massage therapists are happy to share their credentials with clients. AMTA professional members have demonstrated a level of skill and knowledge through education and/or testing and are required to meet continuing education requirements to retain membership.
