The differences between massage therapy at a spa and physical therapy massage techniques (also known as manual therapy) are:
- PT massage/manual techniques are provided by our licensed physical therapists who use their advanced training in anatomy and pathology to care for your body’s unique needs.
- PT massage/manual techniques improve and rehabilitate muscle and joint strength, mobility, and function for long term pain relief and recovery.
- Massage at a spa provides relief from muscle pain and tension on a more short-term basis.
At Physique, our physical therapy clients often receive massage therapy (also known as manual therapy) as part of their treatment. If you have a specific illness, injury, chronic pain, or other condition physical therapy manual techniques are a better fit for you.
