Therapeutix Mind & Body Clinton

Before you ask for a deep tissue massage, here’s an important question. Have you been getting massage regularly? A lot of people assume that because they feel extremely tight, they need the deepest pressure possible. But deeper isn’t automatically better. Sometimes your body needs to gradually work into deeper massage, and sometimes another technique may actually be a better starting point. You don’t have to figure that out yourself.
Contact Therapeutix and let one of our therapists help you choose the right massage for your body.

A runner and a swimmer probably shouldn’t get the exact same sports massage.
Why? Because every sport places different demands on your body. Sports massage is more goal-focused than a traditional relaxation massage. We can incorporate stretching, compression, mobility work, and massage focused on the muscle groups you’re using most. So your massage should reflect what you’re actually training your body to do.
If you’re training, competing, or starting a new sport, contact Therapeutix and tell us what you’re preparing for.

You’ve probably seen those circles on someone’s back or shoulders. But what is cupping actually for? Instead of pressing down into the muscles like traditional massage, cupping uses gentle suction to lift the tissue. We can use it as part of a massage to focus on areas that feel especially tight or overworked. It can be particularly helpful for people who want targeted work but may not enjoy a lot of intense pressure. If you’ve been curious about cupping, contact Therapeutix and schedule your session.

Do your shoulders live somewhere up around your ears? That’s often one of the first signs that your body is carrying more tension than you realize. Desk work, driving, stress, and repetitive movement can all contribute to tightness through your neck and shoulders. And you don’t have to wait until that tension turns into significant pain before doing something about it. Massage can help you slow down, relax those overworked areas, and give your body some attention. If this sounds familiar, contact Therapeutix and schedule your massage.
