Massage Therapy & Other Bodywork Modalities
Therapeutic Massage
Whether suffering from injury, travel fatigue, work-induced stress, specific aches and pains or seeking new ways to unwind, our massage therapists will draw upon their extensive bodywork repertoire to provide relaxation and relief with their artful work in massage therapy.
Stress Reduction Massage
A light to medium pressure massage, using primarily Swedish techniques, will provide you with deep relaxation, increased circulation and flexibility. Inhalations of soft aromas encourage the body to let go and unwind in blissful peace and an inner sense of wellbeing. We highly recommend this massage for anyone seeking the health benefits associated with relaxation.
Our experienced therapists utilize the latest treatment options available. Blue Water Physical Therapy’s comprehensive and effective manual therapy and exercise programs get patients to their pre-surgery baseline quickly and safely.
Deep Tissue/Trigger Point Massage
A strong pressure, therapeutic massage effectively targets deeper layers of tissue for relief of deep-seated muscle pain and tension. Traditional Deep Tissue Massage, Myofascial Release and Trigger Point Therapy are most effective for scar tissue, older/past injuries, athletic injuries, tears and stress in muscle fibers as well as ligament/tendon strains. This treatment is a slow paced 50 min. massage and is area specific; longer time needed for full body treatment.
Oncology Massage
Oncology massage is a compassionate and specialized massage designed to help people manage their experience with cancer. Customized massage sessions focus on alleviating the short and long term side effects of chemotherapy, radiation and surgery. Clinical studies show that oncology massage can reduce various symptoms such as nausea, pain and anxiety.
Manual Lymphatic Drainage Massage
There are two types of Lymphedema: Primary and Secondary. Primary Lymphedema is a rare genetic swelling (usually in the legs) caused by an abnormal development of the lymph nodes and lymph vessels in the body. Secondary Lymphedema is an abnormal swelling in the arm, hand, breast, leg or torso as a side effect of cancer surgery, lymph node dissection cosmetic surgery and or radiation.
Treatment for Lymphedema include:
Manual Lymphatic Drainage, Exercise, Bandaging, Compression Garments
Manual Lymphatic Drainage is also recommended by some cosmetic surgeons to gently reduce post-surgical swelling and scar tissue, decrease recovery time and improve results.
Pricing

Extended Time
Longer session times are highly suggested if the client has not been receiving regular massage. By extending your massage time, you are giving the massage therapist ample time to find your “spots” and gently massage the pain and stress away.
