What Does Massage Therapy Treat?
Massage can reduce musculoskeletal pain, release chronic tension, improve circulation, and support physical and emotional recovery. Common reasons people see us include overtraining, postural imbalance, migraines/TMJ, or post-injury scarring. Clinical massage is also associated with lower stress biomarkers and improved mood (Field, 2016) and favorable HPA-axis effects with repeated Swedish massage (Rapaport et al., 2012).
Many of our Austin clients seek massage for overtraining, postural imbalance, or recovery after orthopedic procedures.
Evidence-Backed Massage Techniques in Austin
Our work is grounded in both experience and research. Modalities include deep tissue, sports massage, trigger point therapy, and myofascial release—each applied with clinical intent. Meta-analysis suggests massage can meaningfully reduce DOMS and perceived fatigue in the 24–72h window post-exercise. “Massage can ease muscle soreness and speed recovery after intense activity (Cleveland Clinic).”
