Comprehensive Services at Return to Play Institute

Sports Massage Therapist

The goals of sports massage therapy are to improve athletic performance, prevent injuries, and accelerate the healing process. This method optimizes physical conditioning, reduces muscular fatigue, and increases circulation through a combination of deep tissue therapy, stretching, and trigger point therapy. Athletes benefit from increased flexibility and a quicker recovery period, whether they are preparing for a competition or recovering from rigorous training.

Manual Lymphatic Drainage (MLD)

Manual lymphatic drainage (MLD) is a gentle yet highly effective method for stimulating the lymphatic system, reducing swelling, and promoting healing. MLD encourages the natural movement of lymph fluid, improving circulation, accelerating healing, and restoring balance. Clients often feel lighter and more energized after therapy, making it particularly beneficial for post-surgical care, lymphedema management, and overall wellness.

Massage Therapist

Massage therapy promotes relaxation, relieves pain, and reduces stress through personalized treatments. Each session adapts to the client’s needs, incorporating techniques like deep tissue therapy, Swedish massage, and myofascial release. This approach supports flexibility, enhances physical function, and contributes to overall well-being.

Orthopedic Massage

Orthopedic massage incorporates specialized techniques and comprehensive assessments to address musculoskeletal issues. This method is especially helpful for people who have injuries, chronic pain, or limited movement. It plays a crucial role in physical rehabilitation, integrating clinical massage techniques to relieve pain, restore function, and promote recovery.

Post-Surgical Lymphatic Massage

Post-surgical lymphatic massage supports healing by improving lymphatic drainage, reducing swelling, and relieving post-operative discomfort. This therapy promotes a smoother recovery by enhancing the body’s natural healing process. Medical professionals recommend it for post-surgical recovery, with each session tailored to the client’s surgical history and specific needs.

Pain Relief Therapy

Pain relief therapy targets chronic pain, injuries, and muscle tension with specialized massage techniques. Each session focuses on immediate relief while promoting long-term healing and mobility. By enhancing circulation, reducing inflammation, and alleviating muscle discomfort, this therapy promotes an active, pain-free lifestyle.

Additional Therapies & Treatments

EMSCULPT NEO

EMSCULPT NEO is a cutting-edge body sculpting treatment that combines Radiofrequency (RF) and HIFEM+ (high-intensity focused electromagnetic field) technology. This dual-action approach effectively burns stubborn fat while simultaneously strengthening and toning muscles, helping to refine body contours and improve overall muscle definition.

Injury Recovery Therapy

Designed to support the body’s natural healing process, injury recovery therapy focuses on relieving muscle tension, improving flexibility, and accelerating tissue repair. Whether recovering from surgery or a sports-related injury, this personalized therapy restores strength, mobility, and function for a smoother recovery.

Therapy for Pelvic, Hip, Sacral & Gluteal Areas

The pelvic, hip, sacral, and gluteal areas are crucial for stability and movement but are often strained due to physical activity, poor posture, or injury. At Return to Play Institute, LLC, we provide treatments to relieve pain, restore balance, and strengthen these essential muscle groups. Our targeted approach not only addresses immediate discomfort but also promotes long-term mobility and resilience.

Frequently Asked Questions

  • Is Orthopedic Massage Painful? 

No, orthopedic massage is not inherently painful, but some discomfort may occur, especially when addressing deep muscle tension or chronic issues. Therapists use controlled techniques, adjusting pressure to enable the treatment to be effective yet tolerable. Any soreness experienced is typically mild and temporary, similar to post-exercise stiffness. The purpose of orthopedic massage is to relieve pain, restore mobility, and promote healing, making any short-term discomfort a necessary step toward long-term relief and improved physical function.

  • Is Orthopedic Massage Safe for Post-Surgical Recovery?

Yes, orthopedic massage is safe for post-surgical recovery when performed by a trained professional. It reduces swelling, improves circulation, and promotes tissue healing. Therapists use gentle techniques, such as manual lymphatic drainage and myofascial release, to support recovery without putting stress on the surgical site. However, it’s important to consult with your doctor before starting treatment to allow it to align with your healing process. When done correctly, orthopedic massage can aid in reducing pain and restoring mobility.

  • Is Manual Lymphatic Drainage Painful?

No, manual lymphatic drainage (MLD) is not painful. It is a gentle, rhythmic massage technique designed to encourage lymphatic fluid movement without applying deep pressure. Unlike deep tissue or sports massage, MLD uses light, flowing strokes that are soothing and relaxing. Most clients find the experience comfortable, and some even feel a sense of calm and relief during the session. If discomfort occurs, it is usually due to underlying swelling or sensitivity, but the therapy itself should not cause pain.

  • How Many Sessions of Manual Lymphatic Drainage Are Needed?

The number of manual lymphatic drainage (MLD) sessions varies based on individual needs and goals. Post-surgical recovery often benefits from multiple sessions in the first few weeks to reduce swelling and promote healing. Those with chronic conditions like lymphedema may need ongoing therapy to maintain results, while occasional sessions support general wellness and detoxification. A therapist will assess your progress and recommend a personalized treatment plan.
