What Types of Massage Therapy Complement Physical Therapy?
Many of the massage therapies that relax and rejuvenate are complementary to Mr. Oh’s specialization in the Myofascial Release Approach® to physical therapy. The Myofascial Release Approach is a safe, hands-on technique that involves applying gentle, sustained pressure to the myofascial (supporting) tissue in your body. This type of physical therapy helps eliminate pain, restore range of motion, and aid circulation to the areas being treated.
Myofascial Release is gentle, comfortable, and even restores blood flow to your brain, which can help alleviate headache pain as well. Ask Mr. Oh about the combined benefits of the Myofascial Release technique of physical therapy and massage therapy.
