The therapist may integrate a range of techniques (including deep tissue therapy and neuromuscular therapy), creating a unique massage experience. This massage may be recommended by a physician, chiropractor or physical therapist who wants a patient to pursue multiple treatment modalities, or pain sufferers may also seek this massage independently. This work is especially warranted when repetitive motion or chronic pain issues are present. Therapist may release tight muscles, help to stretch shortened muscles and tendons, and decompress joints. The goal is to normalize the soft tissues of the body, both to treat specific conditions and to restore a client's optimal range of motion. Because this type of massage is designed to treat medical conditions and chronic pain, it requires extensive training...above and beyond basic requirements met to obtain a Georgia massage license.
