Low back pain is our most common ailment we see at Orthomed. Tight lower back muscles often create nagging discomfort. We look closely to see what other areas of the body are reinforcing the low back restriction as we work on loosening the tissue in the back. Clinical massage therapy is highly effective at reducing discomfort to the low back. It can be associated with inflammation, stress, anxiety, and trauma. Touch, friction, and blood flow to connective tissue often significantly improve pain response.
This condition is common and can be incredibly nagging and uncomfortable. It’s often characterized by a dull or sharp ache in the gluteal region that often gets worse with sitting or positional changes. Deep muscle friction massage specifically to the low back, gluteal area, and most specifically a muscle called the piriformis is highly effective on reducing the pressure on the sciatic nerve and resulting in pain relief.
Neck Pain can often come from repetitive movement and poor work environment ergonomics ie: computer use. It’s also a site that commonly holds tension with stress and anxiety. We see clients that experience neck pain from acute accidents to cervical disc herniations alike. Addressing the tight muscles associated with neck pain can result in reduced neck discomfort and improved posture.
Muscle restriction from spinal disc herniation is a common injury we see in our clients. This condition is often seen in clients with joint degeneration, overuse injury, aging ect. While we educate our clients that we do not treat specifically spinal dysfunction nor can we change joint degeneration, we can absolutely impact a client’s pain response by reducing the muscle tension surrounding a site of inflammation of disc space to assist with helping the body to expedite healing.
This is a very common condition with symptoms of jaw pain that are often associated with repetitive movement patterns, head and neck muscular restriction and facial restriction.

Fibromyalgia is a common condition we see within our clinic. This condition often accompanies an overall chronic systemic inflammatory challenge within the body that often impacts muscular soreness and discomfort. Clinical massage therapy can be incredibly helpful to increase blood flow and reduce restriction and inflammation. We work slowly with the clients pain tolerance level to reduce discomfort and improve quality of life.
Shoulder pain is a common complaint associated with rotator cuff injury. Many of our clients describe difficulty with range of motion of raising the arm above their head or reaching behind them. Pain is often focused at the front and back of the shoulder. Clients may complain of difficulty with sleep position. The shoulder complex is made up of several muscles that often become tight when there is inflammation. Deep tissue friction is very effective for this injury.
Our feet experience a lot of wear and tear as they work to carry our body. Pain in the underside of the foot and heel is a common complaint we work with. It is often accompanied with tight calves and hips that also need to be addressed to help reduce the strain on the foot tendon. Clients express they feel discomfort in their feet often when they wake up in the morning and with prolonged standing or walking. Massage therapy is very effective to reduce tension on the plantar surface and relieve discomfort.
Pain in the site of the elbow on the top of the forearm is a common injury we see where there is injury at the elbow attachment. Clients often complain of pain and discomfort with holding a heavy item and with wrist range of motion. Friction and massage to the forearm muscles help to relieve discomfort and helps to expedite healing around the injury.
Pain surrounding the inside region of the elbow is a common ailment we see that accompanies inflammation and tight muscle tension surrounding the forearm. Friction and massage to this area can help to relieve the strain on the attachment site and expedite healing.
