Pain Management
Pain Management/ Medical Massage is an outcome-based treatment of soft tissue of the body applied to the Specific Area of the body to target SPECIFIC PROBLEMS that the client presents (chronic pain, headaches, tight muscles, inflammation etc.).
Let's explore the difference between Medical /Clinical Massage and SPA therapy to help you choose the right kind of massage.
SPA massages are all about pampering and relaxation. They are typically full body massages.
Medical Massages do not focus solely on full body relaxation. The main focus is treating the conditions to provide real health benefits. The goal of a medical massage is to improve the quality of life by lowering muscle aches and restoring flexibility. However, both types effectively treat stress.
TECHNIQUES APPLIED
A SPA Massage is usually a regular Swedish Massage or Hot Stones
At " Perfectionist Massage Therapy" we use Soft and Deep tissue Manipulation, stretch and positional release,, range of motions, Hot Therapy, Lymphatic Drainage, Neuromuscular Techniques, Myofascial Release, Osteopathic Manual Therapies, Trigger Point and Oriental Medicinal Techniques( pressure points on body energy lines, cupping) and elements of advanced Thai Massages on the massage table and on the floor mats. However, during a Medical Massage a professional uses a broader set of Modalities. With a great understanding of connective tissue and muscles, Therapists can provide a specialized treatment-oriented service.
The exact combination of techniques will depend on the specific client needs and might vary from session to session.
FREQUENCY OF VISITS
Because there is a targeted plan, you and your Therapist will be working as a team. At your first visit you will discuss what you are looking for and what techniques will suit your needs, how often and how many sessions will be needed. To achieve the goal, we need your commitment versus sporadic spa visits.
The therapy sessions usually stop once the client has recovered or significant improvement achieved. Then single sessions of SPA type massage with a little bit more attention to that area are sufficient.
Often the client will also be given a self-care technique that they can do on their own at home

From our clients.....
Elaine N.-Edmond, OK
I have been going to Perfectionist for 6 months and each session has been an introduction to a new method. My most recent session was on the floor and i had muscles massaged that i didn't know existed! They make sure to explain how each massage may make you feel so that I am prepared for what is to come. The office is clean and welcoming. You cant go wrong with Perfectionist!!!
