Medical Massage Therapy for Rehabilitation & Recovery

Our licensed massage therapists specialize in medical massage techniques that target specific musculoskeletal issues as part of your comprehensive treatment plan. Working in close coordination with Dr. Hedges, our massage therapists address soft tissue restrictions that may be contributing to your pain or limiting your recovery, helping to accelerate healing and restore normal function.

Deep Tissue & Rehabilitative Techniques

Our massage therapists are skilled in deep tissue techniques that reach beyond superficial muscles to address chronic tension and adhesions in deeper tissue layers. These specialized techniques help release trigger points, break down scar tissue, and restore proper muscle function in areas affected by injury or overuse. Rather than simply providing temporary relaxation, our deep tissue work creates lasting changes in muscle tissue quality and function, complementing the other therapies in your treatment plan.

Instrument-Assisted Soft Tissue Mobilization

For particularly stubborn soft tissue restrictions, we offer instrument-assisted soft tissue mobilization using specialized tools that enhance the therapist’s ability to detect and treat restrictive tissue. Similar to Graston Technique®, these methods allow for more precise treatment of adhesions and scar tissue that may be limiting your movement or causing pain. The controlled pressure applied through these instruments helps stimulate blood flow, break down restrictive tissue, and promote proper healing of injured areas.

Cupping for Myofascial Release

Our massage therapists utilize therapeutic cupping techniques to address myofascial restrictions that may not respond to traditional massage methods. This therapy creates gentle decompression that lifts restricted tissues, increases blood flow to affected areas, and stimulates your body’s natural healing processes. Unlike traditional massage that compresses tissue, cupping’s negative pressure provides a different mechanical stimulus that can be particularly effective for certain conditions, offering another valuable tool in your comprehensive treatment plan.

Integrating with Chiropractic Care

Massage therapy at Peak Performance Sport & Spine is perfectly coordinated with your chiropractic adjustments and physiotherapy for maximum benefit. Many patients receive massage therapy before their chiropractic adjustment, as relaxed muscles allow for more effective joint mobilization. Dr. Hedges works directly with our massage therapists to ensure that your soft tissue treatment aligns with your overall care plan, addressing specific areas that will support your adjustment and accelerate your recovery process.
