Approach

At Cascade Massage Therapy, we take a holistic approach to massage. Each session will be personalized for the patient depending on the condition, issue or injury being treated and what the patient and therapist’s goals are.

Massage therapy is effective in the treatment and management of numerous health conditions such as headaches/migraines, low back pain, osteoarthritis, plantar fasciitis, sports injuries, stress release, jaw dysfunction (TMD), whiplash, mastectomy and gender affirming top surgery scar treatment, Parkinson’s, fibromyalgia and carpal tunnel syndrome, pregnancy and not limited to only these conditions. Techniques used by the therapist in a treatment can include myofascial release, trigger point therapy, joint mobilization, Swedish and deep tissue techniques, and neuromuscular therapy. Depending on your unique situation, the therapist will adapt the treatment to address your condition safely and effectively.
