Here at Florida Wellness Medical Center in Zephyrhills, allow us to bring you to a blissful state with our full range of massage services.

Massage is an Effective and Safe Medical Treatment

Massage is done by manipulating the muscles and soft tissues of the body, usually by hand if done professionally. This manipulation also called manual therapy, is beneficial for a wide variety of conditions and diseases. The professionals who practice massage therapy use their training, experience, and cues from the patient to tailor the massage experience to their exact needs. Using varying pressures and stroke techniques, the massage therapist can hone in on your problem areas and give you:

• Pain relief
• Less stress
• Increased relaxation
• Reduced soreness
• Release of tension
• Improved circulation
• More energy
• Improved alertness
• Cardiovascular benefits
• Boost of immune function
• Better sleep

Types of Massage

Swedish (Traditional)

Swedish massage is a tried-but-true method for maximum relaxation and stress relief. The massage therapist will guide their strokes back towards the heart using mild to moderate pressure. Strokes are long and fluid with a feeling of connecting all parts of the body.

Prenatal

Moms-to-be are in extra need of some relaxation, and our massage therapists deliver with one of the best prenatal massages available on the Gulf coast. We provide all of the comfort measures needed for pregnant women to fully enjoy the massage experience, including table modifications, pillows and cushions, and baby-safe positioning. (Note: prenatal massage is only available for expectant moms in their second or third trimesters)

Deep Tissue

If painful scar tissue or adhesions due to injury, immobility, chronic disease, or surgery are your problem, then deep tissue massage is the answer. Deep tissue massage uses slow, firm strokes to focus on pain muscle and surrounding fascia. While some believe deep tissue is just a more intense version of a Swedish massage, the technique is actually quite different and yields different results.

Geriatric

People often forget that the elderly can still benefit from therapeutic massage. By improving circulation and releasing muscle tension, geriatric massage can give older adults a much better quality of life. Our therapists are trained to cater to the specific needs of this population, including very light pressure to prevent skin tearing.

Sports

Athletes have special physical needs and a massage is a great tool for them to use in their training arsenal. Massage promotes top performance and quick recovery while enhancing flexibility and cardiovascular health. Massage also prevents scar tissue buildup from minor injuries that may otherwise go undetected.

Trigger Point

Trigger points are painful knots that form in the muscle fibers and actually shorten their length. This creates tension in the muscle that not only hurts, it can also affect your mobility. Our massage therapists are trained to recognize the signs of trigger points, locate them, and effectively eliminate them with direct, deep, and intense pressure. Immediate relief may be felt, but continued treatments will bring the best results.
