Massage Therapy

Deep Tissue Massage 

At the Orthopedic Center of Florida, we offer deep tissue massage as part of our comprehensive orthopedic care to address chronic pain, muscle tension, and deep-seated muscle issues. This massage technique involves applying firm pressure and slow strokes to target the deeper layers of muscles and connective tissues. Unlike a traditional massage, deep tissue massage is specifically designed to break down adhesions, alleviate chronic muscle pain, and improve mobility. Our therapists focus on areas of tightness and discomfort, using techniques that may include sustained pressure, friction, and deep kneading to release tension and improve overall muscle function. Ideal for those recovering from injuries, dealing with chronic pain, or experiencing muscle stiffness, deep tissue massage at the Orthopedic Center of Florida is tailored to each patient’s unique needs, ensuring effective pain relief and enhanced physical performance.

In a clinical setting, Swedish massage can provide significant benefits such as pain relief, stress reduction, improved circulation, increased flexibility, and faster muscle recovery. Our skilled therapists focus on areas that require attention, adjusting pressure to ensure maximum comfort and therapeutic effectiveness. Whether you are recovering from an injury, managing chronic pain, or simply seeking to improve your overall well-being, Swedish massage at the Orthopedic Center of Florida is a key component of our comprehensive approach to orthopedic care.

Myofascial Release

Myofascial release (MFR) is a manual therapy involving friction and manipulation of the myofascial tissue of the body. Benefits of this therapy include reduction of pain, reducing structural/muscular imbalances and enhancing functional ability. Myofascial release is a gentle, hands-on technique that targets the fascia, the connective tissue surrounding muscles. By relieving tension and restoring mobility, this therapy helps alleviate pain and improve overall function. Ideal for those suffering from chronic pain or post-injury discomfort, this treatment promotes a deeper sense of relaxation and well-being.

Trigger Point Therapy

Trigger Point therapy is a technique which is completed by applying direct pressure to specific areas of the body to help alleviate tension and allow for muscular release.  This treatment focuses on specific areas of tightness within muscles that can cause pain and discomfort in other parts of the body. By applying targeted pressure to these “knots,” this technique helps release tension and improve blood flow. It’s an effective solution for athletes and anyone looking to alleviate stress and restore muscle function.

Therapeutic Cupping

Cupping is a form of therapy that involves placing cups on the body to create suction which increases blood flow and encourages healing. Cupping is a technique which has been used for many years as traditional medicine and has had its medical efficacy recognized in modern medicine.  This method enhances circulation, reduces muscle tension, and promotes relaxation. Often used to relieve pain and improve athletic performance, cupping can also aid in the recovery process, making it a popular choice for those seeking holistic wellness.

Lymphatic Drainage 

Lymphatic Drainage massage is a light pressure technique which emphasizes and promotes the mobility of lymphatic fluid away from tissue and allowing your body to store and rid itself of waste efficiently. This treatment is a gentle, rhythmic massage technique designed to stimulate the lymphatic system and promote detoxification. By encouraging the flow of lymph fluid, this therapy helps reduce swelling, enhance immunity, and improve overall health. It’s particularly beneficial for those recovering from surgery or experiencing chronic inflammation.
