Massage Therapy

Massage Therapy is a clinical service provided by a Licensed Massage Therapist (LMT) intended to promote comfort, reduce muscle spasticity, improve flexibility, increase circulation, promote wound healing, improve quality of sleep, minimize fluid retention, and minimize vertigo. On a psychological level, massage therapy can help minimize stress and anxiety. LMTs must first successfully complete the recommended program requirements set forth by a governing body. Massage Therapy in Michigan is governed by the Michigan Board of Massage Therapy.

Given the physical and psychological benefits, clients who have Massage Therapy integrated into his or her functional treatment programs are found to have improved outcomes with other therapies. Physical Therapy , Occupational Therapy, and Speech Therapy all are more successful when Massage Therapy is included in the therapy plan of care.
