Orthopedic massage is a relative newcomer to the field of massage therapy. It is a step by step comprehensive system effective in treating pain and injuries. An orthopedic massage session will be different than a normal massage session in that the client will be asked a series of questions about their pain or injury as well as partake in a series of assessment exercises in order to properly determine which tissues are involved. During the session the client may be asked to change positions in order to reach underlying structures.
