Western Medicine + Massage Therapy
Speeds Recovery
Patients can heal faster with less discomfort when receiving professional medical massage therapy in conjunction with their doctor's treatment.
Medical massage therapy has been standard in European hospitals for decades and is once again becoming popular in United States hospitals. Until the 1970's, nurses in the U.S. used massage to help patients sleep better and to relieve pain. Massage decreased with the use of more powerful pain medications.

After being diagnosed with Degenerative Joint Disease in the neck and back I had to find a way to lessen my pain and increase my mobility. Previous surgery on my neck had failed. My life was in serious turmoil! Married with a 3 year old son, I couldn't be happy because of the pain. I had sworn off additional surgery and more drugs. I found Hands On Health.
After my history was reviewed, my massage therapist knew what therapy I needed. It took more than a PH.D., it took a specialist. Now my pain management doctor actually prescribes Massage Therapy.
