Who should see a massage therapist and when?
Preventive massage is an effective way to maintain overall health, prevent chronic conditions from worsening, boost energy levels, and restore emotional balance. These procedures are an important part of a healthy lifestyle and can be performed regularly depending on individual needs.
Medical therapeutic massage is aimed at treating existing disorders. Its purpose is to improve blood circulation and metabolism, reduce fluid retention in tissues, relieve pain, and restore normal muscle function.
Therapeutic massage may be recommended for the following conditions:
- Musculoskeletal disorders and posture problems.
- Myofascial pain syndrome and muscle spasms.
- Post-injury rehabilitation.
- Chronic fatigue syndrome, stress, and general exhaustion.
- Headaches, migraines, and neuralgia.
- Carpal tunnel syndrome and fibromyalgia.
- “Office syndrome” – tension in the neck, back, and shoulders caused by prolonged computer use.
- Shoulder girdle dysfunction and chronic spinal conditions.
- Poor circulation and swelling in the limbs.
A treatment course typically begins with 10 sessions and may continue depending on the patient’s condition and the desired therapeutic result. The cost of massage is charged per individual session.
A course of massage therapy may be prescribed by a neurologist, orthopedic specialist, traumatologist, physiotherapist, general practitioner, gastroenterologist, or another medical professional. If you experience persistent pain, stiffness, muscle weakness, or constant fatigue, it may be time to visit Doctor Sam Medical Center.
Does your child need a massage?
The decision to start massage therapy is made together with a pediatrician or another medical specialist. At Doctor Sam Medical Center, you can consult a pediatrician regarding your child’s general development or specific conditions that may require professional attention. If necessary, a massage therapist may be recommended by a pediatrician, neurologist, orthopedic specialist, cardiologist, or other doctor. Depending on the patient’s needs, therapeutic, corrective, or preventive procedures may be prescribed.
When is massage prescribed?
Therapeutic medical massage for children is often included in comprehensive treatment programs for conditions such as:
- Scoliosis;
- Clubfoot;
- Flat feet;
- Muscle hypotonia or hypertonia;
- Cerebral palsy;
- Birth injuries;
- Hip dysplasia.
A therapeutic course can begin from the age of 2.5 months. Regular sessions help improve the child’s condition, reduce pain and discomfort, and support faster recovery. Corrective massage helps consolidate treatment results and prevent relapse by supporting proper muscle and joint function, improving posture, and promoting healthy physical development.
Preventive massage focuses on strengthening overall health and supporting normal body development. It improves blood circulation, stimulates the muscular and nervous systems, and promotes the development of motor skills and coordination. Such procedures may also be recommended for healthy children to support balanced growth and prevent future problems.
How do these procedures help?
- In the first months of life, therapeutic massage combined with gentle exercises helps normalize muscle tone, improve coordination, stimulate internal organs, and support overall physical development.
- In preschool age, massage helps correct posture problems, strengthen muscles, improve circulation, and support the immune system.
- For schoolchildren, massage helps relieve muscle tension, improve muscle elasticity, normalize tone, and reduce stress.
- Chest (drainage) massage – after respiratory illnesses, it helps clear phlegm in cases of lingering cough, improves lung ventilation, and strengthens respiratory muscles.
- Cervical-collar zone massage helps relieve headaches, reduce dizziness, improve blood circulation in the head and neck, and reduce muscle tension.
- Back massage helps reduce muscle spasms, normalize muscle tone and elasticity, improve circulation, and support posture correction. Arm and leg massage improves joint function, increases limb mobility, and strengthens muscles.
A massage course usually lasts up to 10 days. The exact duration is determined individually based on the child’s age and specific medical needs. The cost of pediatric massage is charged per session and is clearly indicated in our price list.
