What Is Therapeutic Massage?

Therapeutic massage is more than relaxation—it's targeted manual therapy designed to address muscle tension, improve circulation, and support your body's natural healing processes.

At Black Sheep Physical Therapy, our massage services are performed by trained professionals who understand how soft tissue work complements physical therapy and rehabilitation goals.

Why Massage Matters for Recovery

When you're recovering from injury, surgery, or dealing with chronic pain, tight muscles and restricted fascia can slow your progress. Therapeutic massage helps break through these barriers by:

Reducing muscle tension and spasms Improving blood flow to injured areas Breaking up scar tissue and adhesions Promoting lymphatic drainage Decreasing stress hormones Enhancing range of motion

Integrated Approach

Our massage therapy is coordinated with your physical therapy plan. This means your massage therapist knows your injury history, your goals, and which areas need the most attention—making every session more effective.


Our Massage Techniques

Deep Tissue Massage

Targets the deeper layers of muscle and connective tissue. Ideal for chronic tension, postural problems, and recovering from injuries. Uses slower strokes and more direct pressure to reach underlying muscle fibers.

Swedish Massage

Classic relaxation massage using long, flowing strokes to promote circulation and ease muscle tension. Perfect for stress relief and general wellness maintenance.

Myofascial Release

Focuses on releasing restrictions in the fascia (connective tissue) that surrounds muscles. Particularly effective for chronic pain patterns and movement restrictions.

Sports Massage

Tailored for athletes and active individuals. Helps with pre-event preparation, post-event recovery, and addressing specific muscle groups related to your sport or activity.

Trigger Point Therapy

Targets specific "knots" or trigger points that refer pain to other areas of the body. Effective for headaches, shoulder pain, and persistent muscle tightness.

What to Expect

Your massage therapist will begin with a brief consultation to understand your goals, any areas of concern, and your preferred pressure level. You'll be comfortably positioned on a massage table, and only the area being worked on will be exposed.

Communication is encouraged throughout your session—if the pressure is too much or too little, or if a certain area needs more attention, just let us know. Your comfort and therapeutic benefit are our priorities.
