FAQs
Q: What conditions do you treat at Boulder Pain Relief Massage?
1
A: We specialize in chronic pain conditions including lower back pain, neck pain, shoulder injuries, sciatica, headaches, TMJ dysfunction, sports injuries, plantar fasciitis, carpal tunnel syndrome, and fibromyalgia. Our clinical approach addresses both acute injuries and long-standing musculoskeletal dysfunction.
Q: How is clinical massage different from spa massage?
2
A: Clinical massage therapy is assessment-based and treatment-focused. Sessions target specific pain patterns, movement restrictions, and injury recovery rather than general relaxation. We use evidence-based techniques informed by anatomy and biomechanics to achieve measurable improvements in pain and function.
Research shows massage therapy effectively reduces pain intensity, improves range of motion, and enhances quality of life for conditions like chronic lower back pain, fibromyalgia, osteoarthritis, and tension headaches when combined with appropriate self-care.
Q: Do you accept insurance for massage therapy?
3
We do not, but are happy to discuss in more detail.
Q: How many sessions will I need?
4
A: This varies based on your condition. Acute injuries may respond in 2-4 sessions, while chronic pain often requires 6-10 sessions for sustained improvement. We'll discuss a treatment plan during your first visit.
