- What is Massage Therapy?
Massage is no longer considered a luxury—it is now recognized as a powerful therapeutic tool. Studies have shown that massage can ease pain, relieve aching joints and muscles, improve range of motion, increase blood circulation and lymph flow, decrease anxiety and tension, facilitate recovery from injuries, and even reduce blood pressure and heart rate. In fact, many health insurance plans now cover prescribed massage therapy.
At the Whitaker Wellness Institute, we offer several therapeutic massage treatments, with each session tailored to meet your individual health and wellness needs. While massage alone confers a number of health benefits, it's even more effective when combined with our other innovative therapies. - How Massage Therapy Can Benefit You
The experienced massage therapists at Whitaker Wellness have extensive training in a wide variety of therapeutic interventions and styles of massage. They include classic Swedish massage; the more intense and invigorating deep tissue massage; sports massage aimed at keeping the body in peak condition, speeding healing, and improving performance; lymphatic massage, which focuses on enhancing the flow of lymphatic fluid in the body; and pregnancy massage.
We also offer Russian massage. Massage therapists are highly respected medical professionals in Russia, and most hospitals there have large massage departments. This specialized therapy combines the benefits of other types of massage and is designed to treat acute and chronic health problems, reverse muscle atrophy, and stimulate tissue repair. It also boosts circulation of blood and lymphatic fluid, improves mobility, and eases physical and mental stress. Because of its soothing, low-impact motions, Russian massage is considered especially suitable for older patients.
Patients who undergo massage therapy at the Whitaker Wellness Institute often participate in our Back to Health Program so they can take advantage of our other innovative therapies as well. These treatments work synergistically to help patients reduce or eliminate their reliance on prescription drugs and return to a state of vitality and wellness. - What Conditions Benefit?
