Corrective Massage Therapy
At Healing Elephant Acupuncture & Wellness Clinic, we offer Corrective Massage Therapy that’s a results-oriented treatment inspired by ancient cultures and performed on people who want to stop pain and suffering.
Massage is one of the oldest healing arts and has been practiced for thousands of years. Chinese records dating back 3,000 years document its use; the ancient Hindus, Persians, and Egyptians applied forms of massage for many ailments; and Hippocrates wrote papers recommending the use of rubbing and friction for joint and circulatory problems.
This form of therapeutic massage uses advanced massage techniques that are curated to balance your individual and unique concerns. Deep pressure work does not always address the root cause of pain or tension. Specific and comprehensive work effectively restores balance, relieves pain, and relieves the stress and tension of everyday living that can lead to disease and illness.
