What Are the Benefits of Therapeutic / Clinical Massage?
At our clinic, massage therapy is not just for relaxation. At Urban Motion, a session of therapeutic / clinical massage therapy can significantly assist in addressing specific health issues, discomforts, injuries, and movement goals. Clinical massage focuses on identifying and treating the root causes of pain and discomfort to facilitate healing and enhance overall health. It can help manage ongoing pain, increase range of motion, improve body awareness, and promote relaxation. We believe that a good massage naturally leads to relaxation. Unlike a standard spa massage, clinical massage employs specially trained techniques to target muscle tension, improve lymphatic and blood circulation, reduce inflammation, and alleviate pressure on compensatory structures. This holistic approach considers how the body functions as an interconnected system and addresses imbalances caused by certain muscles and joints not functioning optimally.

Patients may seek treatment for various reasons, including managing their body changes during pregnancy, post pregnancy or post operation, digestive issues, improving sleep, increasing appetite, or taking a proactive approach to injury prevention. Our practitioners leverage their expertise to tailor treatments that help patients achieve their goals.
