What Makes Therapeutic Massage at Frisco Massage Therapy Different
Clients often notice right away that therapeutic massage at Frisco Massage Therapy feels different from a typical massage. The difference comes from the approach:
-
Comprehensive intake that covers medical history, injuries, and current goals.
-
Assessment-based care that looks at posture, movement, and restrictions.
-
Experienced therapists with thousands of hours of training and advanced certifications.
-
Science-informed techniques including reciprocal inhibition release, graded exposure mobility and activation, positional and joint focused muscle release, and neuromobility re-education.
-
Compassionate environment that respects comfort and builds trust.
This is not a one-size-fits-all service. Sessions are designed to address the specific challenges a client brings to the table.
What to Expect During a Session
A therapeutic massage session at Frisco Massage Therapy includes several stages:
-
Intake – Clients complete a detailed health history form. This information helps the therapist design a safe and effective session, especially for those who are post-surgical, pregnant, in acute or chronic pain, or recovering from an injury.
-
Assessment – The therapist observes movement, posture, and areas of restriction. This helps identify the source of discomfort and ensures care is directed where it is needed most.
-
Therapeutic Care – The massage may include one or more techniques, such as deep tissue work, craniosacral therapy, or lymphatic drainage. Pressure and methods are adapted to the client’s comfort level.
-
Full-Length Care – we honor your scheduled time with complete 60- and 90-minute sessions, start to finish.
- Therapeutic Enhancements – Personalize your care at no extra cost with complimentary options like Aromatherapy, Hot Stones, Pain Relief Creme, Cupping, and Heat or Cold Packs, customized to support your comfort and goals.
-
Home Support – At the close of the session, clients may receive simple strategies such as stretches, breathing exercises, or mobility drills to maintain progress at home.
What types of things can a therapeutic massage treat?

The Role of Science in Therapeutic Massage
At Frisco Massage Therapy, our approach is grounded in the principles of anatomy, physiology, and movement science. A deep understanding of how the body functions allows our therapists to apply techniques with precision, purpose, and care.
- Postural support and alignment are enhanced by releasing tension patterns and muscle imbalances to restore functional movement.
- Joint decompression and space creation allow for greater ease in movement and reduced strain on surrounding tissues, changing how the body holds itself.
- Adhesion release reduces restrictions in connective tissue, helps restore glide between muscle layers, improving comfort and functional range.
- Stretch-assisted massage improves flexibility and range of motion through active or passive movement integration.
By integrating scientific insight with skilled, intuitive touch, we deliver therapeutic massage that supports a wide range of goals—from pain relief to overall well-being.
Techniques Commonly Used
Therapeutic massage may draw from multiple modalities:
- Layered pressure techniques allow for gradual engagement with deeper structures without overwhelming the tissue.
- Cross-fiber friction helps break down adhesions and stimulate circulation in targeted areas.
- Scar tissue remodeling helps soften and integrate old injuries, improving texture and movement.
- Breath-informed pacing promotes deeper tissue access while maintaining client comfort and responsiveness.
- Stretch-assisted massage improves flexibility and range of motion through active or passive movement integration.
The therapist adapts these techniques based on the client’s goals and comfort.

- Those with chronic pain in the neck, back, or shoulders

Comfort and Safety
Comfort is a priority. Pressure, positioning, and techniques are always adjusted to client preference. Nothing is performed without consent. Trust and communication are the foundation of every session.
Why Health History Matters
Health history plays a vital role in therapeutic massage. Surgeries, injuries, and past traumas all leave an imprint on the body. By understanding this history, therapists can avoid risks, adapt techniques, and design the most effective plan of care.

FAQs
Is therapeutic massage painful?
Therapeutic massage should never be painful. While some techniques may use firm pressure, the therapist always adjusts to the client’s comfort level.
How is therapeutic massage different from relaxation massage?
While all massage can feel relaxing, therapeutic massage is goal-driven. At Frisco Massage Therapy, each session is tailored to the client’s current needs, following a path of assessment, plan, action, and result. Whether the focus is pain relief, mobility, or lifestyle care, treatment evolves as recovery progresses.
How many sessions are needed?
The number depends on the client’s goals and condition. Some experience relief after one session, while others benefit from ongoing care.
Is massage safe after surgery?
Yes, with care. We recommend Manual Lymphatic Drainage in the early post-surgical phase to help manage swelling. Once the incision has healed, therapeutic massage can support scar tissue recovery, restore mobility, and address lingering tension patterns.
Do you accept insurance?
Frisco Massage Therapy does not bill insurance directly. We accept HSA cards, but coverage depends on your provider. Itemized receipts are available upon request.
