You can benefit from a massage!

Massage therapy, also known as manual therapy is a great way to remove stress and pain and increase your circulation! A physical therapist and occupational therapist can use this massage therapy in your therapy session to reduce your recovery time.

Who can benefit?

Reddy Care uses this therapeutic massage therapy to help people manage or recover from a wide range of conditions:

Fibromyalgia
Back and neck pain
Arthritis, migraines
Diabetic nerve pain
Sports and auto-accident related injuries
Psychological disorders including anxiety and depression (mental and emotional stress is often neurologically carried into and stored in physical tissues).
Many others!

What does it help with?

Specific benefits of massage therapy include:

Improved circulation and lymphatic drainage
Accelerated healing
Reduced swelling and inflammation
Improved range of motion
Reduced pain
Decreased adhesions and scar tissue formation
Decreased stress
Improved mood

Massage therapy can be performed by an occupational therapist and can help a patient improve their ADLs (activities of daily living). This type of manual therapy can reduce pain and tension and improve range of motion in many of our patient's conditions including contractures, cerebral palsy, arthritis, or stroke.
