Sports Massage
Sports Massage at Body Mechanics addresses injury prevention, recovery, and performance enhancement for athletes. Our therapists use deep tissue techniques, myofascial release, and neuromuscular therapy to improve range of motion, reduce muscle tension, and accelerate healing. This service benefits runners, CrossFit enthusiasts, and individuals with sports-related injuries through customized treatment plans that incorporate stretching and rehabilitation exercises tailored to specific athletic needs.
TMJ Massage
TMJ Massage Therapy targets temporomandibular joint dysfunction causing jaw pain, headaches, and neck discomfort. Our specialists employ precise manual techniques to release tension in facial muscles, improve joint mobility, and alleviate nerve-related symptoms. This treatment benefits patients with chronic jaw pain, teeth grinding, or post-surgical recovery, often providing significant relief after just one session through specialized neuromuscular and trigger point therapy approaches.
Medical Massage
Medical Massage combines Swedish, neuromuscular, and myofascial techniques for treating specific health conditions. Our therapists address chronic pain, postural imbalances, and musculoskeletal disorders through evidence-based protocols that improve circulation, reduce inflammation, and restore functional mobility. This service benefits patients with conditions like fibromyalgia, carpal tunnel syndrome, and post-injury rehabilitation needs through targeted, results-oriented treatment sessions.
Prenatal Massage
Prenatal Massage provides specialized care for expectant mothers experiencing pregnancy-related discomforts. Our therapists use side-lying positioning and gentle techniques to alleviate back pain, reduce swelling, and improve circulation while ensuring complete safety for both mother and baby. This service addresses common pregnancy concerns like sciatic nerve pain, joint stiffness, and stress relief through customized sessions tailored to each trimester's specific needs.
Lymphatic Drainage
Lymphatic Drainage Massage uses gentle, rhythmic movements to stimulate the lymphatic system and reduce fluid retention. Our therapists employ specialized techniques to improve circulation, decrease swelling, and support immune function through manual lymph node stimulation. This service benefits post-surgical patients, individuals with lymphedema, and those seeking detoxification support through non-invasive, therapeutic touch methods that promote natural healing processes.
