Medical Massage

Briefly, this evaluation-based manual therapy heals many common, painful joint and muscle problems ranging from sciatic pain to plantar fasciitis to frozen shoulder. Medical massage can be effective for any part of your body including the spine, neck, shoulders, hips, arms, legs, hands, and feet.

Keep in mind, medical massage often is more effective than prescription drugs, because therapists apply therapy directly to the areas of your body that need help. Plus, we can do something for you that no drug can: rebalance your musculoskeletal system. Like having your car aligned, rebalancing your body’s muscles and joints brings everything back into balance. When your body’s overall balance improves, your spasms and pain will disappear.

Medical massage is given under a doctor’s supervision. At Healing Unleashed Health Services we have a physician on site: Dr. Wanda Bedinghaus.

Orthopedic Massage

Also, orthopedic massage helps you recover from an injury and helps prevent injuries. This type of massage is always helpful whenever movement is painful, limited, or causes joint pain.

Therapeutic and Relaxing Massage

We guarantee relief from muscle pain and stress.  Are you experiencing shortness of breath, poor digestion, anxiety, fatigue or insomnia? These are symptoms of stress. We can help you.  Are you troubled with headaches, aching shoulders, spasm in your back, or leg cramps? These symptoms show how hard your body is fighting to stay upright and balanced despite conditions like posture problems, exercise deficit, or muscle spasm.  Healing Unleashed® has the solutions for you. Call us now and let us help you. 

While our medical massage treatments help cure specific, diagnosed problems like sciatic pain or fibromyalgia, our therapeutic massage treatments help cure general pain problems like stiff neck, sore shoulders and backache.  Our first goal in treating your general pain problem is to reduce the symptoms of stress, such as shortness of breath and fatigue.  Our second goal is to reduce or eliminate general body pain and discomfort, such as aching shoulders and stiff neck.  Our third goal is to give you an experience of deep relaxation. 

We offer several massage modalities including Swedish massage, Myofascial Release, Neuromuscular Massage, Reflexology, Lymphatic Massage, and Deep Tissue Massage.  We will carefully support your needs for lighter or deeper massage work.

There are many important reasons to receive therapeutic and relaxing massage at Healing Unleashed.

Manual Lymphatic Drainage Massage

Your lymphatic system is a critical circulatory system that helps to keep your other tissues clean while maintaining a proper flow and distribution of body fluids. This system helps your body ward off disease and heal from injury.

Lymphatic massage involves light pressure and a pumping action to move lymphatic fluid in the direction of the lymph nodes.

Lymphatic massage has four proven benefits:

1. It stimulates the immune system.
2. It improves cellular metabolism.
3. It helps the body eliminate wastes and toxins.
4. It helps reduce fluid retention or edema.

We highly recommend you receive this type of massage on a regular basis. It helps to give you protection against many infectious diseases.
