Massage Therapy
At Strive we utilize only NYS Licensed Massage Therapists (LMTs) to deliver a variety of massage therapy services at the highest therapeutic level. Collectively known as manual therapy, massage is a particular kind of physical treatment used to treat the musculoskeletal system, primarily designed to relieve tension and pain in the muscle and connective tissues (or fascia). It most commonly includes deep kneading and manipulation of muscles and soft tissues in areas of acute muscle soreness or strain.
