Condition-specific massage therapy for chronic pain and medical symptoms
Therapeutic massage at Holistic Healthcare Clinics represents a medical approach to massage therapy, specifically designed to address chronic health conditions, persistent pain syndromes, and stress-related physical symptoms. Our therapeutic massage therapists combine multiple massage modalities to create personalised treatment protocols.
Unlike general relaxation massage, therapeutic massage focuses on specific medical outcomes. We integrate techniques from Swedish massage, deep tissue work, myofascial release, trigger point therapy, and lymphatic drainage to address your particular condition and symptoms effectively.
Each therapeutic massage plan is individually designed based on your medical history, current symptoms, and treatment goals. We work collaboratively with your healthcare providers to ensure your massage therapy complements your overall medical care and supports your healing journey.
Understanding medical massage therapy and its role in chronic condition management
Therapeutic massage is a medical approach to massage therapy that combines multiple techniques to address specific health conditions, chronic pain syndromes, and stress-related physical symptoms. It differs from wellness massage by focusing on measurable therapeutic outcomes rather than general relaxation.
Our therapeutic massage therapists skillfully combine various modalities based on your condition:
Therapeutic massage operates on evidence-based principles to achieve specific health outcomes:
Evidence-based massage therapy for chronic health conditions and pain syndromes

Gentle therapeutic approaches to support energy levels, improve circulation, and manage the physical symptoms associated with chronic fatigue syndrome and post-viral conditions.
Treatment for physical manifestations of chronic stress including muscle tension, digestive issues, sleep disturbances, and immune system suppression through nervous system regulation.

Common questions about medical massage therapy for chronic conditions
Therapeutic massage differs significantly from wellness or relaxation massage in its approach and objectives:
Therapeutic massage therapists require additional training in pathology, medical massage techniques, and working with chronic health conditions. Treatment protocols are designed to address specific symptoms and support medical treatment goals rather than providing general relaxation.
Therapeutic massage has documented benefits for many chronic conditions and symptoms:
During your assessment, we'll discuss your specific condition, review relevant research, and determine whether therapeutic massage is appropriate for your situation. We may recommend coordination with your healthcare provider to ensure the best integrated approach.
Treatment response varies significantly based on your condition, severity, and individual factors:
Factors affecting response time include the chronicity of your condition, overall health status, stress levels, other treatments you're receiving, and consistency with treatment recommendations. We'll monitor your progress closely and adjust the treatment plan as needed to optimise your outcomes.
Insurance coverage for therapeutic massage varies depending on several factors:
Our clinic can provide detailed treatment documentation and work with your healthcare providers to support insurance claims. We'll also discuss payment options and treatment packages for self-pay patients.
Yes, communication with your healthcare team is essential for optimal therapeutic outcomes:
