Therapeutic Massage

Therapeutic Massage

Massage therapy helps to relieve the stress of your daily life and can also help you manage injuries and chronic health conditions that cause the muscles, ligaments, and tendons of your body to tighten up. This muscle tightness restricts circulation, leading to uncomfortable symptoms such as pain, inflammation, and reduced range of motion. Massage therapy techniques, including soft tissue therapy, neuromuscular massage, and myofascial release, allow therapists to manipulate the soft tissues of your body to restore normal movement and ease your symptoms.

At FYZICAL Naples (Pelican Bay), our therapists have extensive training and experience using various massage therapy techniques to treat a range of injuries and chronic health conditions. They will perform a thorough assessment and develop an individualized treatment plan to help you reach your health goals.

Benefits of Massage Therapy

Massage therapy helps to relax muscles, improve circulation, decrease pain, and increase range of motion. Further, it helps to improve posture and balance, decrease stress, improve sleep quality, strengthen your immune system, and improve your recovery time from orthopedic problems, neurological disorders, and sports injuries.

Conditions That Massage Therapy Treats

Massage therapy can also be helpful during pregnancy to help support the health and well-being of the mother and child by reducing stress, swelling, and pain.

Additionally, massage therapy can be beneficial for cancer patients to reduce the side effects of some cancer treatments, such as pain, fatigue, anxiety, and nausea, as well as in stroke patients to improve recovery and function after stroke by improving blood flow and reducing muscle spasms.

Therapeutic Massage


At FYZICAL Therapy & Balance Centers, no treatment is complete without hands-on care. Our therapists have many years of training and experience in several types of manual and massage therapy. You might be familiar with the types of relaxing massage you would get in a spa, but manual therapy techniques are more injury or condition-oriented and focus on specific areas of the body.
After an injury, muscles, ligaments, and tendons (soft tissues) tend to tighten up, restricting circulation, contributing to pain, and decreasing joint movement. With techniques such as soft tissue and joint mobilization, neuromuscular massage and myofascial release, physical therapists manipulate soft tissues and connective tissue (sheath that covers bones, nerves, and soft tissues) to restore motion and ease the discomfort caused by muscle tightness and spasm.
When performed by skilled FYZICAL Therapy & Balance Centers therapists, manual and massage therapy can:
  • Relax muscles and ease muscle spasms
  • Increase range of motion and flexibility
  • Improve circulation
  • Enhance post-surgical rehabilitation
  • Decrease recovery time for orthopedic problems, neurological disorders, and sports injuries
  • Improve posture and balance
  • Strengthen the immune system
