Soft tissue work alongside your rehabilitation plan.
Massage Therapy
Scientific evidence suggests that massage is effective at alleviating back pain and improving the quality of life for many adults suffering from chronic health conditions. Since hands-on therapies are an essential part of their treatment protocol, Gregory Trakhtenberg, MPT and Dmitry Shestakovsky, DPT, at Midtown East Physical Therapy in New York City, offer massage therapy as a complement to physical therapies, spinal manipulations, and other treatment methods.
Massage therapy is the manual manipulation of soft body tissues (muscle, connective tissue, tendons and ligaments) to enhance a person’s health and well-being. There are many types of massage therapy methods, also called modalities. People seek massage therapy for a variety of reasons: to reduce stress and anxiety, to relax muscles, to rehabilitate injuries, to reduce pain and to promote overall health and wellness.
