CLINICAL MASSAGE THERAPY
Clinical massage is a targeted, goal oriented session to improve and correct the symptoms associated with a specific condition such as poor posture, sciatica, frozen shoulder, tennis / golfer's elbow, and many more medical conditions. The therapist will ask for an in-depth medical history and take into account habitual daily activities that could be exacerbating the clients symptoms such as: occupation, stress, repetitive stress motion, commute, and sleeping position. Modifying daily habits when possible, plus correcting soft tissue dysfunction in the body helps to bring the client long-term relief from their symptoms.

By increasing the body's circulation, the body can bring oxygen to the tissues and flush waste, so clients heal from injuries faster and recover from competition faster.
Benefits of Bemer Therapy:
Increased circulation
Improved muscular health
Detoxification of tissues
Increased energy
Enhanced immune system
Improved sleep
