Massage Therapy

Left Coast Health therapists first receive a thorough client/patient history in order to fully ascertain all of the information that will help them to understand your case.  They then perform a comprehensive physical assessment to see your level of physical function.  Through this screening process they can rule out/pick-up on any red flags that would require a referral to your doctor or a specialist.  If no red flags are apparent, they proceed by addressing the many factors that influence your health, performance and levels of experienced pain.  They address them through client/patient education, advanced exercise prescription and manual therapy techniques.
