OMT helps to restore soft tissue health, improve mobility, and can assist with recovery from surgeries, dislocations, fractures, and pinched nerves.

 Some conditions can cause other musculoskeletal dysfunctions when not treated accordingly. 

  “Ignoring” discomforts can lead to compensating patterns which can influence your quality of life.  

Orthopedic massage treatments provide non-invasive alternative therapy for:

•Accident Recovery

Neuromuscular

Neuromuscular Massage Therapy (NMT) aims to alleviate the underlying cause of chronic pain by restoring the muscle - joint -connections and restrictions throughout the body.

NMT incorporates trigger point therapy, acupressure and myofacial releasing alongside other bodywork for healing.  

Trigger points are tight, benign, painful sites found in fascia and along muscular fibers which can restrict  natural movements and blood flow to an area, resulting in aches and discomforts with referred pain. 

Patient with Dupuytren’s Contracture 

Untreated “knots” can continuously effect the normal blood flow and mobility of muscles resulting in muscle fibers and other tight fascia sites to contract, eventually creating more trigger points locally or referred elsewhere.

 Massage Therapy can help restore ranges of motion by re-modifying taut dysfunctional tissues, encouraging muscular functions and deactivating the body’s reflexogenic and myo-fascial trigger points. 

Trigger Points Can Occur From:

• Acute Injury
• Anxiety
• Atrophied Muscles?
• Bruises
• Chronic Headaches
• Chronic Pains
• Compensating Pain Patterns
• Dupuytren’s Contracture
• Fibromyalgia
• Improper Repetitive Ergonomics
• Improper Repetitive Exercises
• Injury
• Lack of Ergonomic Stretching
• Misalignments
• Muscular Dystrophy 
• Musculoskeletal Restrictions & Traumas
• Myofascial Pain Syndrome
• Over-Use
• Parkinson’s Disease
• Pregnancy
• Posture & Biomechanics
• Repetitive Use
• Spinal Pain Disorders
• Sprain(s)
• Strain(s)
• Scar Tissue
• Sciatic Pain
• Sedentary Lifestyles
• Stress
• Surgical Sites
• Thoracic Outlet Syndrome (TOS)
• Unsupportive Resting & Sleep Postures
• Whiplash
• Wry NecK

Recent studies have shown Neuromuscular Massage Therapy demonstrated beneficial results with sustained improvement in mood and motor symptoms (like finger tapping and tremors) for those living with Parkinson’s Disease.

NMT was also shown to relieve numbness symptoms associated with Thoracic Outlet Syndrome (TOS).

Cupping

Cupping is an ancient technique that utilizes negative pressure as a complementary healing alternative when treating fascia, musculoskeletal chronic pains, cellulite, and other ailments.

Practiced worldwide, different methods of therapy application include: Dry Cupping, Wet Cupping, Dynamic Cupping, Fast or Flash Cupping, and Chinese Cupping or also called Vacuum Cupping.

Merrimack Medical Massage safely uses clean, effective and non-invasive silicone suction cups.

“Dry Cupping” is when cups are placed accordingly and suctioned to the skin creating a stationary negative pressure application. 
 This modern method does not use fire or puncture the skin for bloodletting as with “wet cupping”.

“Dynamic Cupping” uses massage oil to gently glide the suction cups over the body, covering more surface area. 
This moveable negative pressure encourages healthy lymph fluid movement and circulation, releases toxins, decreases muscular adhesions while improving skin tone and liquifying cellulite! 

“Chinese or Vacuum Cupping” is safely performed with plastic dome shaped cups that attach to a hand gage for a more custom controlled vacuum pressure application.

Cupping therapeutics can be administered for up to 15 minutes in place.  Continued pressure on the area for even a few minutes can feel significant like deep tissue work.

The negative pressure created by the suction drudges up blood flow, lymph and toxins creating the circular purple - reddish marks that remain after a cup is removed.

These marks are normal and they will fade within some days.  

 “Fast” or “Flash Cupping” only sets the cups momentarily.
 This method attempts to leave no colored marks. 
Perfect as an introduction to cupping!

Manual Lymphatic Drainage (MLD)

The Lymphatic System is a dynamic network that involves tissues, vessels and organs working endlessly to regulate, collect, move, drain and detoxify interstitial fluids back into circulation.

The system manages, collects and filters approximately 20 liters of fluid from the body’s capillaries, lymph vessels, lymph nodes, ducts, bone marrow, Peyer’s Patches, the Spleen, Thymus, Tonsils, Adenoids, and Appendix every day!

This vital system filters the bloodstream, absorbs fats, microbes, vitamins and minerals from the digestive tract, constantly fights infections and cancer cells, transports cellular waste and eliminates foreign, abnormal or unhealthy cells out of the body.

Any lymphatic fluid that does not get reabsorbed back into the bloodstream is called lymph, and can sometimes leak into soft tissue areas causing swelling or lymphedema.
Lymph is naturally composed of water with proteins, minerals, nutrients, fats, and other cells. 

Manual Lymphatic Drainage (MLD) is a bare handed, gentle and rhythmic medical massage technique, affecting only the skin, that encourages the movement of lymph to alleviate swelling and naturally enhance the immune system’s functions. 

 MLD is a great preventative and noninvasive remedial therapy that helps :

• Alleviate “tightness, “pressure” and “heaviness”

• Breast Cancer Related Lymphedema (BCRL) 

• Bruising

• Circulation

• Discomforts

•Edema

• Fibromyalgia 

• Fibrosis or Thickening of Skin

• Healthy Urination / Bowel Movements

• Illness Resistance

• Immunity Responses

• Injuries

• Lymphedema

• Pregnancy Pressure

• Sinusitis

• Surgical Procedure Sites

• Swelling 

• Swelling Associated With Pregnancy

MLD therapy does not produce pain or skin reddening and is not performed on irritated or broken skin, infected areas, or on areas undergoing treatments for active cancer.

If you are experiencing any heart condition, cellulitis, or sudden or unilateral lymphedema - please contact your primary care provider immediately.

Kinesiology Taping

 Kinesiology Tape was first developed in the 1970’s by Dr. Kenzo Kase, a Japanese chiropractor.

He created a flexible and stretchy tape so that when applied to an area of the body it provides support, decreases pain, reduces swelling, and improves performance.

The tape’s special design mimics the skin’s elasticity, allowing for range and flexibility.

When applied, a slight recoil of the tape helps lifts the skin creating a microscopic space between the skin and tissues, beginning the healing process.

Kinesiology tape can stay on between 3-5 days maintaining its effectiveness with physical activities through sweat and multiple showers due to its water resistance medical grade adhesive.

Some athletes use kinesiology taping to help them achieve peak performance and protect against injury when competing in special events.

Studies on athletes have shown when kinesiology tape is applied to fatigued muscles, performance improves. 

A 2017 study showed kinesiology taping may improve blood flow in the skin and improve circulation of lymphatic fluids.  

In two recent studies, kinesiology tape reduced fluid buildup in women who underwent breast cancer treatments and for people who had total knee replacements.  

Kinesiology tape can also be helpful for prenatal and postnatal posture support, musculature changes in tone, texture and circulation. 

Kinesiology taping can be used to bring awareness and help correct posture.

Helping to re-train muscles that that have lost function or gotten used to an unhealthy way of working.

Kinesiology tape helps stabilize sub-acute injuries, support musculature, ease pain, lessen swelling, and assist with a healthy healing process. 

Broken ribs found the kinesiology tape very beneficial allowing the patient more relaxed breathing, less daily pain, short term benefits, and speeding a long recovery! 

A 2017 study supports using Kinesiology Tape to help stroke patients improve the way they walk.

Kinesiology Tape Restrictions:
 

• Deep Vein Thrombosis (DVT):  Increasing fluid flow could potentially or fatally dislodge a blood clot. 
   
• Diabetes:  If there is reduced sensation in the area, a reaction to the tape may go unnoticed.​ 
   
• Lymph Node Removal:  Increasing interstitial fluid where a node is missing can cause extra swelling with discomfort. 
   
• Open wounds:  Applying tape over a wound or broken skin could lead to infection and skin damage.  
   
• Sensitive Skin:  The tape adhesive may irritate thin, thinning skin, or sensitive skin. 

If you need musculature support for your active daily livings, physical demands, or assistance with sports or injury recovery…

Aromatherapy & Essential Oils

Aromatherapy is an ancient therapeutic practice that uses plant-based oils (essential oils) for a benefit.

Ancient plant-based knowledge, skills, practices and therapies have been utilized for centuries all around the world. 

Certain essential oils are powerful bio-active extracts that have concentrated aromatic molecules.  These powerful molecules travel from our olfactory senses and connect with our brain’s emotion center.

Aromatherapy complements your massage experiences.  ​​

Aromatherapy & Essential Oils can assist with relaxation, digestion, memory, sleep, calming and uplifting our mind, mood and energy, along with boosting our immunity.

Some powerful essential oils are also anti-bacterial, anti-fungal and antiviral, and can help reduce inflammation, anxiety, nausea and headaches!

Enjoy aromatherapeutics while you receive bodywork on the cushioned massage table and during an ergonomic chair massage.

Aromas simmer with you!
When essential oils are added to your massage oil, affects remain with you for some time afterwards, acting like an extension of your therapy.  

Combining aromatics for inhalation and adding essential oils to your massage oil makes a nice treatment addition.

Children live in a world of stimulations!  Sometimes they need a calming environment with healthy therapies to unwind, relax and regroup so they too can feel better!

Session times may vary to allow for proper introductions, medical history updates and to help establish a strong pediatric therapeutic relationship.

Parents are required to be in the treatment room for All Therapeutic Pediatric Massage Sessions!

Massage Therapy Improves One’s Quality Of Life!  
 

Paraffin

Paraffin is a melted wax therapy that softens and nourishes your skin while soothing neuropathies of tired and achey hands and feet.

Hypoallergenic and unscented paraffin wax is warmed to a liquid when we submerge your hands and feet and then wrap them with heat to nourish and soften.

Paraffin moisturizes the skin and provides a quick self care therapy that benefits more when applied frequently.

Add Merrimack Medical Massage Pure CBD Oil for additional bio-well-being. 

Regular paraffin treatments reduce hand pain and improve grip strength, improving upon our quality of life!

Paraffin aids general arthritis, along with Rheumatoid and Osteoarthritis

Eases Atopic Dermatitis & Chronic Hand Eczema

De Quervain’s tenosynovitis benefits from paraffin wax baths & therapeutic exercises together!

Paraffin treatments are as effective as ultrasound and TENS units for post- stroke spasticity.

Paraffin also helps Achilles Tendon stiffness for improving range of motion and mobility.

Thermotherapy with massage therapeutics are a great way to relieve aches, pains, stress, and other body ailments!

*A digital unit safely and effectively warms the wax evenly to prevent burning.*

Experience Any Time Of Year!

Enjoy Alone Or As A Benefit To Any Therapy! 

Enjoy complementary aromatherapy and brainwave music during your session.

Unwind further by selecting a Swedish or deep tissue massage, stones, cupping, or CBD oil too!

TheraGun Therapy

Rhythmic vibrational massages can help our bodies relax by soothing muscular tension, anxieties and sensory sensitivities.

By targeting tension specific areas vibrational massage helps to break down adhesions promoting flexibility, circulation, and sensory desensitization, resulting in the calmness of mind, fascia, and musculoskeletal systems.

The Thera-Gun pulsates up to 4800 RPM’s…

Always check in regarding pressure, if there is increased pain or any uncomfortable areas be sure to openly communicate! 
 

Other methods of vibrational therapy include:

•Tuning Forks to align our chakras and allow healing via sound therapy!

•Bone Conduction for Tinnitus, TMJ and hearing loss!

•Manual vibrational therapy that is much less vigorous than the Thera-Gun! 

Feel the relief and allow yourself some extra time to unwind.
