Structural massage is a non-invasive technique that identifies the source of pain based on structural imbalances and uses body positioning to relieve tension. When you go in for a structural massage session, a professional will identify the cause of your pain by locating a tender spot. They will then gently shift the body into positions that ease pain and stimulate change. These positions are held for about 1-2 minutes. As they position, they will monitor the change in structure and adjust accordingly to change tissue tension. This technique can produce quick results—you may see a reduction in pain after just one session.

Unlike other massage techniques, structural massage does not use pressure and rubbing to relieve tension. This method attempts to restructure muscles to relieve pain long term with purposeful poses and positions.

If you’re looking to relieve some pain in a specific spot, a structural massage may be the answer for you. By using strategic movements and positionings, structural massage can relieve pain and lead to increased mobility and flexibility.
