Do not start without talking to your doctor; it does not replace medical treatment

The session name on this page does not mean a health service or medical treatment. Massage therapists do not diagnose, and do not recommend medication or a treatment plan. If you have a health problem, see your doctor first.

  • For pain, numbness, swelling, fever or unexplained symptoms, see a health professional instead of booking a massage. The U.S. National Center for Complementary and Integrative Health (NCCIH) advises against using massage to put off seeing a doctor about a medical problem.
  • If you take blood thinners, have had a blood clot in the leg, or have osteoporosis, a spine disorder, a tumor or an implanted medical device, or if you had an injury or surgery in the last 48 hours, talk to your doctor before a massage (Cleveland Clinic).
  • Tell your massage therapist about your health, the medication you take and any surgery you have had; the scope of the session depends on it.

What is Medical Massage?

The name "medical massage" is used for targeted massage work focused on a particular area or complaint. It is not a health service or medical treatment; the massage therapist does not diagnose and does not recommend medication or a treatment plan. Depending on the area you discuss before the session, techniques such as classic massage, deep tissue, trigger point work and stretching may be chosen. The U.S. National Center for Complementary and Integrative Health (NCCIH) describes clinical massage as massage aimed at specific goals, such as releasing a muscle spasm. It also matters to tell your therapist about your health, the medication you take and any surgery you have had before the session; the scope of the session depends on it. If you have a health problem, see your doctor first; do not use massage in its place.

Typical Session Length

Sessions usually last 30 to 60 minutes, depending on the area of focus. Cleveland Clinic gives about 50 minutes as a typical massage session.

Who is it suitable for?

It suits people who feel tension in a particular area, for example the neck, shoulders or lower back, and want a relaxation session focused on that area. This session does not replace treatment.

Who should avoid it, and what to watch for

People with undiagnosed pain, fever, swelling, numbness or an open wound should see a doctor first. Those who take blood thinners, have a history of leg clots, osteoporosis or a tumor, and those who had recent surgery should not start without talking to their doctor.

What happens in a session?

At the start you describe your complaint, sensitive areas and the medication you take. The therapist chooses techniques suited to that area and, when needed, also works the surrounding muscles. You can ask for the pressure to change at any time. At the end the therapist does not diagnose or recommend treatment; if your symptoms continue, you need to see your doctor.

Frequently asked questions about Medical Massage

Is medical massage a treatment?

No. Sessions called medical massage are not medical treatment or a health service. For diagnosis and treatment you should see a doctor; massage does not take its place.

Do I need a doctor's approval for medical massage?

If you have a health problem, take blood thinners, have osteoporosis or had recent surgery, talk to your doctor before starting. Cleveland Clinic recommends talking to a doctor for these groups.

What is the difference between medical massage and classic massage?

Classic massage aims at general relaxation; the name medical massage is used for work focused on a particular area. The techniques can be similar in both, and neither is a treatment.

What should I do if my pain gets worse after the session?

Mild muscle tenderness is possible. If the pain becomes sharp, or numbness, swelling or bruising develops, or it does not pass within a few days, see your doctor.

What information should I give my massage therapist?

Mention your complaint, sensitive areas, the medication you take, any surgery you have had and conditions such as pregnancy. This helps choose the pressure and technique to suit you.
