I am often asked how soon after an injury can one receive a massage. If the injury is soft-tissue related, with a skilled massage therapist, you can receive treatment immediately. Depending on the injury, the massage may be brief and light touch. Often return visits will be beneficial and the massage may change in length and depth.
From personal experience and from observing my clients, the sooner you receive a massage, the quicker and better the healing. Often just a few minutes of treatment can yield relief.

Back Pain - Quick Relief!
A testimonial from one of my regular clients:
Heidi came to my rescue last Friday. At 2am on Friday morning I was awakened by severe back pain. I was unable to get an appointment with my physician that day, but was told to take a prescription of prednisone for a week. Then my physician failed to send the electronic prescription to the pharmacy and I didn’t find out about it until after the physician’s office was closed for the weekend. I called the physician’s answering service, but they couldn’t get the on call physician to respond. As a result, I received no help from my physician and was left to experience continued severe pain over the weekend.
I decided to call Heidi and see if she could find time to massage this painful area of my back. It was Friday evening and Heidi had family visiting her home from out of town. Heidi was very empathetic and responsive to my needs. She had me come immediately for a back massage. She massaged my back for only about 15 minutes. I experienced almost instant pain relief. I went home from the massage and fell asleep. The pain was gone and hasn’t returned.
Heidi’s willingness to quickly respond and her expertise rescued me from having to continue suffering in severe pain. She is a hero health care provider.
