Metta's Approach
Massage therapy is the manipulation of soft tissues with the aid of hydrotherapy and remedial exercise. Therapeutic massage can enhance one's state of well-being mentally, emotionally and physically.
Our therapists maintain up to date training in treating conditions such as repetitive strain, chronic pain and pregnancy. We also treat motor vehicle accident victims and Veterans through the Department of Veterans Affairs.
Some of the conditions we treat are:
- Neurological disorders
- Arthritis
- Low back and neck pain
- Fibromyalgia
- Cancer treatment
- Heart conditions
- Pre and post natal treatment
- Stress related tension, pain and many combinations of symptoms and syndromes.
What to Expect
If you are coming for your first session, you will be asked to come 10 minutes before the start of your appointment to complete a health history. A therapist will then get you settled into one of our beautifully decorated rooms. Massage therapy is normally at its best when performed directly on the skin however you and your massage therapist can determine what you are most comfortable with. Only those parts of the body being worked on are exposed. Massage should not be painful, although discomfort in tight muscles is common.
We recognize that each client we see has unique needs and preferences. Your therapist will check over your health history and discuss your treatment plan before beginning the session. A record of your treatments are kept on file. Each time you come in your therapist will check in with you to determine what treatment will most benefit you for you at that particular time.
The massage therapists at Metta Massage & Yoga Clinic are actively involved in the on-going development of the Chronic Pain Management Program which integrates Recovery Yoga, Integrated Movement Therapy and educational counseling for clients with chronic pain. Advanced techniques using hydrotherapy, hot stones and Thermal Palms are also performed by our RMTS.
