This is probably what you think of when you think “massage”. A table massage session with Liz can be either a treatment massage or wellness, or relaxation massage.
Treatment massage is used to address specific injuries, conditions, or muscles and is aimed at achieving specific goals. Treatment massage can either be prescribed by a doctor (for example following a motor vehicle accident or an injury at work, which frequently is covered by insurance) or treatment massage can be arranged independently and paid for out of pocket.
Wellness, or relaxation massage, can be an excellent way to relieve sore muscles, reduce stress, compliment your self-care plan, improve circulation, increase range of motion, and experience nurturing touch. While this type of massage frequently is paid for out of pocket, sometimes insurance plans cover wellness massage either with or without a prescription.
While each have distinctly different intentions, there often is a blending between the two. Sometimes appropriate clinical treatment includes relaxation massage and sometimes a wellness massage requires specific treatment techniques. Whichever type you need, massage can be an effective way to relieve pain and stress, and is well worth the investment!
Liz offers special attention when working with the elderly, including side-lying massage, and gentle circulatory and range of motion work.
