Massage Therapy

What is Massage Therapy? 

Massage therapy is a technique used to manipulate the soft tissue of the body, including muscles, connective tissues, tendons, and ligaments. Massage therapy can be used to:

• Reduce pain and inflammation
• Increase joint mobility 
• Reduce stress and anxiety
• Relax muscles
• Speed up recovery from injury
• Improve blood and lymphatic circulation
• Relieve nerve pain

Massage therapy can be used to treat a number of health conditions, either alone or in tandem with other approaches, such as physical therapy.

What can I Expect During my Massage Therapy Session

Let our therapists work on you with their hands and ears! As they listen to your needs, expect them not just give a quick rubdown but also spend time getting into the root of what's causing tension. Our massages are tailored for any length sessions that will bring relief no matter how long or short it takes-whether it is squeezing in a quick session after going to PT, or during those stressful days where self care means more than ever. 

At MPOWER Physical Therapy, we offer a range of visit times with our licensed massage therapists. If you are looking for specific spot treatments or a warmup to your physical therapy visit, a 30–45-minute session may be your best option.

If you are interested in full body relief, increased relaxation, decreased anxiety, and maximizing neuromuscular rest, a longer session may be optimal for your needs.

What Makes MPOWER the Best Massage Therapy in Nashville?

At MPOWER Physical Therapy, our massage therapists work closely with our physical therapists. If you are currently being treated by one of our physical therapists and our massage therapy team, they will work together to create the most cohesive and successful outcome. Having a team work so closely together by combining aspects of both therapies is extremely beneficial for the individual.
