Q: What kinds of pain and injuries do you work with at Boulder Pain Relief Massage?
1
A: Most clients come in with chronic or recurring soft-tissue pain — lower back, neck, shoulders, sciatic-type symptoms, tension headaches, jaw and TMJ tension, sports and overuse injuries, plantar fascia pain, and wrist or forearm tension. Massage is also used as supportive care alongside a physician's plan for conditions such as fibromyalgia. Sessions address both recent injuries and long-standing movement patterns.
Q: How is clinical massage different from spa massage?
2
A: Clinical massage therapy is assessment-based and goal-focused. Sessions target specific pain patterns, movement restrictions, and recovery rather than general relaxation. Techniques are informed by anatomy and biomechanics, with the aim of improving how you move and feel.
Research suggests massage therapy can help reduce pain intensity, improve range of motion, and support quality of life for people with chronic lower back pain, fibromyalgia, osteoarthritis, and tension headaches, particularly when combined with appropriate self-care.
Q: Do you accept insurance for massage therapy?
3
A: We do not bill insurance directly, but we are happy to discuss options. Sessions are often eligible for HSA or FSA reimbursement, and a receipt can be provided on request.

Q: What types of massage therapy do you offer?
A: It varies from person to person. Recent injuries often respond within a few sessions; long-standing patterns usually take longer, since they took time to build. We'll talk through a realistic plan at your first visit — and I'll tell you honestly if I think massage isn't the right fit, or if something is worth having a physician look at.
