If you have general aches and pains, chronic pain, back pain, neck pain, headache relief needs, sciatica, repetitive strain, or need to relax and relieve stress, a Student Massage is the right service for you. This affordable, budget-friendly option is a low-cost, economical way to receive therapy in a supervised, professional setting, promoting overall wellness and pain relief.
Your treatment will begin with a short assessment in a private treatment room with a relaxing atmosphere and soothing music. Your massage therapist will go over your health history and any issues you want to address. The therapist is certified, licensed, experienced, skilled, and qualified. You will then be asked to undress to your personal comfort level and lie under the linens on the massage table. The table comfort is a priority.
The modalities your therapist may choose to incorporate are: light to deep tissue techniques, soft tissue release, myofascial release, joint mobilization, PNF stretching, golgi tendon organ release, muscle energy techniques, and hydrotherapy. Our comprehensive, holistic approach may also include Swedish massage techniques and sports massage methods to restore flexibility and range of motion. They may also apply pressure to specific target areas using trigger point therapy.
You may feel some discomfort or tenderness during a deep tissue massage, especially if you have areas of tension or tightness in your muscles. It is important to maintain a dialogue on your comfort levels so your therapist can make adjustments to the pressure and techniques being utilized. Please understand that not all issues require deep tissue work or prolonged deep pressure. Your therapist is trained to identify the root cause of your issue and address it as needed. The goal is to relieve pain, promote healing, alleviate, and improve circulation.
If your purpose is solely relaxation, your therapist will focus on delivering a flowing, steady-pressure massage throughout your body. They are gentle, effective, and caring. You may be asked to breathe deeply, which can help promote relaxation and increase the effectiveness of the massage. Your therapist may also use essential oils for aromatherapy or other relaxing techniques to help enhance the experience.
After the massage, you may feel relaxed and rejuvenated. It’s important to drink plenty of water to help flush toxins released during the massage. Your therapist may also provide you with some aftercare advice, such as remedial exercises, stretching, or self-massage techniques to help facilitate your rehabilitation and progress. The treatment duration will vary. A return date for your personalized, customized treatment plan will also be suggested to keep you on track. Your therapist will consult with the client’s needs and provide quality care in a client-centered, results-oriented manner.

Therefore, your benefits plan may not cover a treatment with a student therapist, check with your provider for details.
