Healing after an injury involves more than just time—it takes targeted care to reduce pain, improve mobility, and support the body’s natural recovery processes. Massage therapy has long been recognized as a valuable tool for injury rehabilitation. At Dr. Elham’s clinic, our skilled massage therapists use a range of techniques to address your unique needs and help you get back to living and moving comfortably.
What Is Massage Therapy for Injury?
Massage therapy is a hands-on treatment that manipulates soft tissues—muscles, tendons, ligaments, and fascia—to promote healing and relieve discomfort. In the context of injury recovery, massage can reduce swelling, break down scar tissue, and enhance circulation to injured areas. Our therapists work closely with your medical team to create a safe, coordinated recovery plan tailored to your injury and goals.
