Orthopedic Massage

Orthopedic Massage at Deep Relief

A smarter, more strategic approach to pain relief.

Orthopedic massage is not just deep pressure—it’s clinical, targeted bodywork designed to address soft-tissue dysfunction and restore movement. At Deep Relief, our orthopedic massage therapists are trained to assess, treat, and track the progress of musculoskeletal pain conditions using advanced techniques rooted in anatomy, biomechanics, and clinical reasoning.

This approach is ideal for:

• Chronic or recurrent pain

• Postural and repetitive strain issues

• Athletic injuries and movement impairments

• Pre- and post-surgical soft tissue care

• Insurance-based rehabilitation needs

Unlike general massage, orthopedic massage focuses on identifying the underlying cause of pain—not just treating symptoms. Each session is guided by an initial assessment, which may include postural analysis, range-of-motion testing, and palpation of affected structures. Based on your needs, treatment may involve soft tissue manipulation, myofascial techniques, neuromuscular therapy, or joint movement strategies.

What Makes Orthopedic Massage Different?

• Assessment-Based: We don’t guess. We test. Your therapist begins with a brief clinical assessment to target the root of your discomfort.

• Condition-Specific Treatment: Every technique is chosen for your unique condition—this isn’t a “routine” massage.

• Collaborative Care: Our therapists work alongside referring physicians, chiropractors, and acupuncturists when needed to support your recovery.

• Clothed Sessions (Optional): For some assessments and techniques, you may remain fully or partially clothed to allow better access to movement testing and joint evaluation. Though most of our therapists prefer to have direct access to skin and surrounding tissue for maximum treatment outcomes.

At Deep Relief, we combine this clinical approach with our “Hit The Spot” method and our signature #7 Communication System—ensuring your treatment is not only effective, but tailored to how you’re feeling in the moment.

Your Recovery Starts Here

Whether you’re dealing with nagging pain, movement limitations, or recovering from injury, orthopedic massage Deep Relief offers a smarter path forward. This is bodywork designed to restore function—not just provide temporary relief.

While both types of massage aim to address musculoskeletal issues, orthopedic massage specifically targets problem areas with a more focused, clinical approach, often involving collaborative efforts between the therapist and other healthcare professionals to ensure comprehensive care and long-term relief.
