Why our Clinic is Different? -- Medical Massage -- Tacoma Lakewood Washington

We offer Medical Massage Therapy with Neuromuscular Approach that explains relationship between every part of your body. It is a scientifically based Manual Therapy System that finds and treats the Cause of your Pain. These treatments are designed to treat and solve your specific problems for a short period of time efficiently with profound effect on your body.

Medical Massage Therapy with Neuromuscular Approach is a system of manually applied techniques designed to reduce pain, establish normal tissue tension, and create a positive tissue environment and to normalize the balance and the movement of the musculoskeletal system.

Holistic Medical Massage Clinic in Tacoma specializes in applying these manual therapy techniques under the prescription and supervision from a medical, naturopathic and osteopathic doctor, physical therapist and a chiropractic doctor.

On the first visit the therapist evaluates the patient by screening gait patterns and measuring the positioning of the body to determine musculoskeletal distortion, biomechanical dysfunction and soft tissue pathology that causes these patterns. An exacting analysis of proper posture and biomechanics explains the cause and effect relationship to pain. Once we know how your body works, we can determine the reason why you have pain and the other symptoms.

Then the therapist develops a treatment plan that is based on the knowledge of your body. We don’t guess, we know how to treat you because of exact analysis of your body and understanding of your problem. Your therapeutic massage treatment is custom designed for you because we apply pressure and specific techniques that are unique only for your body. That’s why our treatment is effective and different from others.
