Massage Therapy
Massage therapy at Good Life is tailored to reduce muscular tension, improve circulation, and support your physical therapy goals.
What Is it?
Massage therapy at Good Life Physical Therapy is integrated with your overall treatment plan. It helps relieve muscle tension, improve circulation, and promote recovery — all with therapeutic intent. We use a range of techniques tailored to your body and goals, ensuring that massage isn’t just relaxing, but restorative and effective with your long term goals in mind.
Our Approach
Massage is never one-size-fits-all. Your therapist may combine massage with other treatments like manual therapy, stretching, muscle strengthening, or nerve releases to support your overall plan of care. We focus on specific areas of restriction or discomfort, use techniques appropriate to your body and preferences, and adjust pressure and pacing based on what will be most effective for you. We base our treatments on evidence based research, doctoral degrees, and decades of experience.

Your massage session begins with a brief conversation about what areas feel tight, painful, or fatigued. Your therapist will use therapeutic techniques — not just relaxation strokes — tailored to your goals. Pressure is always adjusted to your comfort.

Additional FAQs
Is massage part of physical therapy or separate?
We integrate it into your treatment plan. It’s not a spa massage — it’s focused, therapeutic work tailored to your goals and combined with other treatment techniques.
What if I’m sensitive to pressure?
That’s no problem. If stronger pressure is indicated we will explain why, but will always adjust pressure and techniques to your comfort and feedback every time.
