Medical Massage Built Around Your Condition
Medical massage is hands-on treatment aimed at one problem: a stiff low back, a shoulder that will not settle, tension headaches or an overuse injury. Your therapist first looks at where the pain sits and how you move, then works that area with methods such as neuromuscular therapy, trigger point therapy and myofascial release.
It is not a spa visit. Patients from Sahuarita make the drive up I-19 to our Tucson office because every session follows a written plan for their condition, and progress is reviewed at each visit.
Conditions We Treat With Medical Massage
Most patients come to us with pain or tightness that keeps returning. Common reasons include:
- Low back pain and stiffness
- Neck and shoulder pain, knots and strain
- Hip and leg tightness that makes walking harder
- Tension headaches that build in the neck
- Sports strains and overuse injuries
Sudden severe pain, numbness or a fresh injury should be checked by a physician before massage.

FAQ About Medical Massage Therapy in Sahuarita, AZ
How is medical massage different from a regular massage?
A relaxation massage covers the whole body at an even pace. Medical massage starts with an assessment and spends the session on the area causing pain or limiting movement. Your therapist adjusts the techniques from visit to visit as things change.
Does insurance cover medical massage therapy in Sahuarita, AZ?
Some insurance plans may cover medical massage, depending on the plan and the condition being treated. Our front desk can help you check your plan before your first visit.
Do I need a referral from a doctor for medical massage?
You can book a medical massage directly. Some of our patients come on the advice of a physician or physical therapist. Some insurance plans ask for a prescription before they pay, so check your plan if you hope to use coverage.
How many medical massage sessions will I need?
It depends on the condition, how long you have had it and how your body responds. After the first session your therapist suggests a schedule, and the plan is reviewed as you progress.
Is medical massage painful?
Some techniques use firm, focused pressure, and a tender spot can feel uncomfortable while it is being worked. Your therapist checks in throughout the session and adjusts the pressure to what you can tolerate.
