About this massage
The practitioner may use pressing, kneading and related manual techniques on selected areas. Traditional terminology describes the approach; an examination of your actual symptoms determines which movements and pressure are appropriate.

Discuss the following concerns with your practitioner when planning treatment areas and everyday activity goals:
- Chronic nonspecific low-back pain, with an individualized goal for pain and everyday function.
- Muscular neck and shoulder stiffness that has been assessed and is suitable for hands-on care.
- Localized soft-tissue discomfort affecting comfortable movement during ordinary activities.
Your session and feedback
Describe a movement or activity that is difficult and agree on a manageable pressure. Hands-on treatment can be coordinated with an appropriate movement or rehabilitation plan. Tell the practitioner about pain, dizziness or any need to change position.

Suitability and precautions
Share recent injury or surgery, osteoporosis, skin problems, medicines and relevant medical restrictions. The assessment determines whether the hands-on approach fits the condition; a service name alone does not establish the diagnosis or technique.
Preparing for your appointment
Bring relevant health history, medicines and instructions from your medical team. Tell your chosen office which massage service you would like to arrange.
Before hands-on care, the team explains clothing and draping arrangements and whether a lotion or oil is planned. Choose clothing that allows comfortable movement and mention skin or product sensitivities. A pressure change or pause can be requested throughout. For soreness afterward, read our massage aftercare guide.
