You don’t have to live with chronic pain and ailments. Acute and chronic conditions can be helped with regular massages. It’s important to understand that acute problems can be helped with 1-3 sessions while more chronic issues can take 6 sessions to months to improve. A common mistake people make coming in is expecting a problem that has taken years to develop to go away with one massage. It’s important to discuss realistic expectations with your massage therapist and develop a plan to reach the wellness goals you have for yourself.

The Wonders of a Routine Massage
The various techniques of massage can help transform your body’s physical and mental performance. At NP we believe consistency is KEY! The best way to do that is having a routine. Deciding the right routine for you is a combination of your body’s needs, goals, time, finances and your commitment to seeing the change you want. Here are a few recommended frequencies for massage:
- 1-3x a week – major acute injury or chronic injury that needs to improve quickly, a temporary schedule that will change after improvement
- 1x a week – constant pain relief or enjoy benefits of a weekly massage
- Bi-weekly- constant tension or pain and preventative care
- Monthly – preventive care to decompress and maintain healthy tissue quality
- Quarterly – check in maintenance, those with less body ailments and stress or who may have various other modalities they use for stress relief on mind and body

“Nesfield Performance Movement Therapy: Active Release Technique(ART), Cupping and Manual Therapy coupled with targeted homework stretching is giving me a full life back. Previously I was limited by multiple painful conditions; I visited several different doctors and physical therapy centers to get relief and I was informed that surgery may be the best answer. Surgery is not a choice I’d consider at this point and a friend of mine referred me to Nesfield Performance and I am so thankful. NP’s keen intuition and masterful touch is providing hope and enabling me to return to full mobility. Highly recommend receiving a consultation/evaluation about your chronic pain from NP. This evaluation can help you discover if body work will allow you to avoid surgery and multiple cortisone shots that are only a temporary fix. Due to overuse of my limbs from my profession and daily exercise presently I suffer from a Frozen Shoulder and on the verge of severe Plantar Fasciitis in my feet. Both conditions were waking me up at night, limiting mobility and causing me to stop participating in extracurricular activities that are vital to maintaining sound mental and physical health.
A personalized therapy plan along with the personalized daily routine is truly a fantastic investment.” – Leslie
