About Therapeutic Massage
Therapeutic massage is a customized approach that blends different techniques to meet your body’s unique needs. It combines the relaxing flow of Swedish-style massage with deeper, targeted work to ease pain, improve mobility, and support overall wellness. Each session is designed to be adaptable, focusing on problem areas while also providing a sense of full-body renewal.
During treatment, pressure may vary depending on what your body requires — sometimes lighter to calm the nervous system, other times firmer to release stubborn knots and tension. This flexibility makes therapeutic massage a great choice for both relaxation and targeted relief.
Many people turn to therapeutic massage for issues like chronic tension, stress-related pain, poor posture, or recovery after strain or injury. The benefits can include better circulation, reduced muscle tightness, improved range of motion, and a greater sense of balance and well-being.
At Bor Town Massage & Wellness, therapeutic massage is always guided by careful attention to your comfort, ensuring a treatment that is both restorative and effective.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between therapeutic massage and relaxation massage?
Relaxation massage focuses mainly on stress relief and calming the nervous system. Therapeutic massage, while still relaxing, is more targeted — it works on problem areas to relieve pain, tension, or restricted movement.
Is therapeutic massage painful?
It shouldn’t be painful. The pressure can be firm in certain areas, but it’s always adjusted to your comfort level. Good communication with your therapist ensures the treatment stays effective without causing unnecessary discomfort.
What issues can therapeutic massage help with?
Therapeutic massage can ease chronic muscle tension, reduce stress, improve posture, increase circulation, and support recovery from injuries or repetitive strain. It’s often chosen by clients who want both relaxation and results.
How often should I get a therapeutic massage?
It depends on your goals. Some people come in once a month for general wellness, while others benefit from weekly or bi-weekly sessions when addressing ongoing tension or pain.
What should I expect after a therapeutic massage?
You may feel relaxed and looser immediately after. Sometimes mild soreness can occur if deeper work was done, but this usually fades within a day. Many clients notice better mobility, reduced pain, and an overall lighter feeling in the days that follow.
