An orthopedic massage is something wholly different from a massage that you might receive in a parlor. While a masseuse uses one massage technique to relax the muscles of the patient, an orthopedic massage is made up of several different techniques that are specifically tailored to the body of the patient. Instead of one treatment method, orthopedic massages are made up of several, most of which are selected based on the patient’s needs. Do you want to know how an orthopedic massage sets itself apart from other massage therapy practices? Here are a few ways to pin down the difference.

1. Assessing the Issue

The first thing that happens during an orthopedic massage is that the ability of the patient is assessed so that the orthopedic doctor can come up with a medical diagnosis and a treatment plan. From there, they know which techniques, if any, need to be employed in order to increase the ability of the patient and decrease any pain that they may be experiencing. The difference between telling your masseuse where your back pain is and having a real life orthopedic doctor diagnosing the situation is vast, and incredibly more valuable.

2. Fixing Patterns of Dysfunction

The human body is made up of systems that are constantly affected by each other, meaning that if there’s a problem with one system in your body, you also will start to experience more symptoms throughout the rest of your body as well. An orthopedic massage takes those systems and corrects dysfunction causing problems not only in your back, but in the rest of your body as well. This fixes chronic pain issues where most treatment have failed to work, improving your quality of life.

3. Customization For Your Body

The most important part of an orthopedic massage as opposed to one that you would get in a massage parlor is that the treatment is assessed based on your body’s specific needs. You need to realize that every single body is different, meaning that people have different levels of bodily dysfunction that all need to be treated in different ways. By treating those bodily dysfunctions with plans that are specifically geared towards solving them, you’re giving your body a fighting chance of actually getting better in a meaningful way. The difference between the two could be the difference between always having chronic back pain, and having it solved with a treatment plan that will actually work for you.

Orthopedic Massage Therapy Can Solve Your Pain

If you’re suffering from chronic back pain, you need to find a solution that’s going to work for you. Solving the problem for most people isn’t easy, before they land on orthopedic massages they usually go through a ton of treatment processes that end up doing nothing for their pain. Once orthopedic massages work for them, they wonder why they didn’t do it in the first place. Don’t let that be you.
