In a medical massage session, manual tests may be done to assess your range of motion or try to pin point your source of pain. It is best to wear athletic clothing during the treatment. Manual labor will be done to the afflicted area which can include cupping, hot stones, muscle stripping, lymphatic techniques, and/or stretching. A treatment plan will be created for you with clear goals based on the tests and your personal goals. If there is any question of muscle tears, broken bones, bulging disks, or something more serious, a referral to your primary care provider, PT, or specialists can be made to ensure your safety.
