What is Medical Massage Therapy?
Medical Massage Therapy is a specialized approach that focuses on healing specific health conditions, injuries, or chronic pain through advanced techniques and personalized treatment plans. At Casey Healing Wellness, our certified therapists use their expertise in anatomy, physiology, and pathology to provide top-quality care. Guided by a physician, these sessions target diagnosed medical conditions using specialized massage procedures, typically lasting 30 minutes to an hour.
It’s essential to consult with a doctor or chiropractor before starting medical massage therapy to ensure that you receive appropriate treatment. Reasons for a doctor’s prescription of medical massage may include:
- Treating musculoskeletal issues
- Incorporating physical therapy to enhance strength and flexibility
- Addressing sports injuries, car accident injuries, muscle pains and cramps, migraines, and edema
- Complementing psychotherapeutic programs
“A study from the National Institutes of Health shows that new cases of chronic pain occur more often among U.S. adults than new cases of several other common conditions, including diabetes, depression, and high blood pressure. Among people who have chronic pain, almost two-thirds still suffer from it a year later” –Source
Furthermore, your therapist may utilize various massage modalities, such as deep tissue massage, trigger point therapy, and stretching techniques, to optimize your treatment outcomes.

Experience Relief with TMJ Massage at Casey Healing Wellness
The temporomandibular joint (TMJ) connects our lower jaw to the base of our skull, enabling us to open our mouths for chewing, laughing, and speaking. When this joint becomes inflamed, it leads to TMJ dysfunction, a condition affecting 5% to 12% of the U.S. population. This can cause pain and difficulty when using the joint for activities such as eating and talking. Are you experiencing symptoms of TMJ dysfunction? Casey Healing Wellness is dedicated to providing specialized TMJ Massage therapy to help alleviate the discomfort associated with temporomandibular joint (TMJ) dysfunction. Our skilled massage therapists are committed to helping you find relief from jaw pain, tension headaches, and other symptoms, allowing you to enjoy greater comfort and improved quality of life.
Lymphatic Drainage Therapy for post-surgical swelling, Lymph disorders and general health
Lymphatic Drainage falls under the umbrella of medical massage but requires special training. Your lymph system is a prime mover of fluid in the body and is directly tied to your immunity. You can think of it as a vast interlocking alleyway system between houses in a city. The lymphatic system can be acutely damaged through surgery, trauma, chronic conditions, systemic issues, or poor circulation. Alternately you may want to work with your general health by including lymphatic massage as part of your health regime.
What Are the Benefits of our Lymphatic Drainage Massage in Edgewater, NJ
Each benefit of lymphatic massage is backed by real-world application and emerging clinical research:
- Reduces Swelling and Fluid Retention: Ideal for post-surgery or after long periods of inactivity, helping the body eliminate excess fluid naturally.
- Reduces Stress, Which Helps Immune Function: The lymphatic system plays a central role in immune defense. Stimulating lymph flow can help your body fight infections and reduce inflammation.
- Supports Post-Operative Recovery: Common after liposuction, tummy tucks, or other procedures, lymphatic massage reduces swelling, bruising, and pain while accelerating healing.
- Can Play a Part in Managing Lymphedema: A crucial component in the treatment of lymphedema, especially in breast cancer survivors who’ve had lymph node removal.
- Can Benefit Autoimmune and Inflammatory Conditions: Those with fibromyalgia, rheumatoid arthritis, or chronic fatigue syndrome often find symptom relief with lymphatic massage because it is a gentle non non-taxing form of touch.
- Enhances Skin Health and Appearance: Massage in general plumps the skin and stimulates the tissues.

How many sessions of Medical Massage Therapy will I need to see results?
The number of sessions needed depends on various factors, including the severity of your condition, your overall health, and your response to treatment. Some clients may experience significant improvement after just one session, while others may require multiple sessions to achieve their desired outcomes. Our massage therapists will work with you to develop a personalized treatment plan based on your individual needs and goals.
Is Medical Massage Therapy covered by insurance?
In some cases, Medical Massage Therapy may be covered by health insurance if it is prescribed by a physician as part of a treatment plan for a specific medical condition.
