Orthopedic Massage is an advanced discipline of therapeutic massage used to reduce pain and optimize the client’s posture or structural alignment by manipulating their soft tissue.

Damage to the soft tissue can result from many causes including; repetitive use, stress, poor diet, injury, poor posture, and aging. When fascial malfunction occurs, the fascial net becomes «glued down» to the surrounding muscles and tissue. These restrictions can impair blood flow to the muscle, thus depriving the tissues of oxygen resulting in pain. Nerves that normally penetrate the fascia to stimulate muscle activity also become trapped in the restricted fascia and lead to pain and tension.

Mac’s Orthopedic Massage sessions are organized to focus on a client’s particular complaint and goals e.g., neck tension, relieving sciatic pain, back pain or enhancing athletic performance.
