Massage Therapy

At Strive we utilize only NYS Licensed Massage Therapists (LMTs) to deliver a variety of massage therapy services at the highest therapeutic level. Collectively known as manual therapy, massage is a particular kind of physical treatment used to treat the musculoskeletal system, primarily designed to relieve tension and pain in the muscle and connective tissues (or fascia). It most commonly includes deep kneading and manipulation of muscles and soft tissues in areas of acute muscle soreness or strain.

  • Sports Massage

    Sports massage is a type of massage therapy that is specifically designed for athletes and active individuals. Sports massage can help increase flexibility, reduce muscle soreness, improve circulation, and enhance overall athletic performance.

  • Lymphatic Massage

    This technique uses gentle, rhythmic strokes and light pressure to stimulate the lymphatic vessels and promote lymph flow. Lymphatic massage can help reduce swelling, detoxify the body, boost the immune system, and promote relaxation. It is commonly used to treat conditions such as lymphedema, fibromyalgia, and chronic fatigue syndrome. Lymphatic massage therapists are trained to use specific techniques that are gentle and non-invasive.

  • Prenatal Massage

    This technique uses gentle pressure and specific positioning to alleviate common pregnancy-related discomforts, such as back pain, swelling, and muscle tension. Prenatal massage therapists are specially trained to work with pregnant women and will use techniques that are safe and comfortable for both the mother and baby.

  • Deep Tissue Massage

    Deep tissue massage is a type of massage therapy that focuses on releasing chronic muscle tension and knots by applying deep pressure to targeted areas. Deep tissue massage can be beneficial for people with chronic pain, limited mobility, and recovering from injuries. It can also improve posture, reduce stress, and promote relaxation.
