You think of massage as a way to relax your body and mind. Still, it's more than an indulgence to de-stress whenever you opt for therapeutic massages at Personal Spa & Massage, serving Mokena, IL, Frankfort, IL, and the nearby regions.

What Exactly Is a Therapeutic Massage?

A therapeutic massage is more than just your standard massage; it is where you feel relaxed afterward. Instead, during this particular type of massage, a massage therapist from our office focuses on relieving your pain and promoting healing, though you'll still feel relaxed after it.

A massage therapist at our spa may use a variety of techniques during your session, depending on your specific needs. For instance, a massage therapist may use Swedish massage techniques, which help with circulation and make you feel more relaxed. This massage also targets sore muscles to ease some of your pain.

Using deep tissue massage, a practitioner may soothe sore or tense muscles by breaking up any "knots" and promoting circulation. These techniques also lessen inflammation.  

Trigger point therapy is a commonly used technique that involves the therapist applying direct pressure to the spot, causing aches, pains, or other discomfort.

It's even possible to add the warmth of hot stones to enhance the results of your massage further. 

Specialized Massages

Besides offering therapeutic massages to those in Mokena, IL, Frankfort, IL, and the neighboring communities, you can also opt for specialized massages, such as a prenatal massage. Our therapists are trained in pregnancy-safe practices to help ease your discomfort during pregnancy, which can help make this a pleasant time for you as you prepare to bring a bundle of joy into the world. 

A sports massage is specific for those who play any type of physical activity, whether to prevent issues, enhance their game, or help them recover from an injury. 

Who Can Benefit

Though some health conditions could interfere, most people can benefit from the stress relief of a therapeutic massage. Anybody with chronic pain, including from conditions like arthritis or fibromyalgia, could find relief. Even those with acute injuries, such as sprains and strains, can find relief and experience a more effective and quicker healing time from massage. 

To ensure your safety and maximize your benefits, you'll be thoroughly screened before we provide treatment. 

If you're having aches or pains, ease your symptoms. And you'll feel more relaxed, too! The massage therapists at Personal Spa & Massage, serving Mokena, IL, Frankfort, IL, and the surrounding areas, will customize a therapeutic massage just for your condition to promote healing, when possible, or at the bare minimum, reduce your pain.
