Individuals who were injured in an automobile accident or sports activity can work with a medical massage therapist to realign soft tissue and improve range of motion. Medical massage can help to normalize dysfunctional tissue caused by poor posture or repetitive motion strain. Most medical massage takes place twice a week. Depending upon how bad the injury or how chronic or acute the pain is, medical massage can last from three to six weeks. In most cases, home care stretching and strengthening exercises will be used along with the medical massage therapy. Medical massage can even take place in the tranquility of a spa. Some spas even accept medical insurance.
