Arbor Healing is offering medical massage for $75 per half-hour, plus $15 for hot stone or towels as needed. Owner Sher Wells, MMT, says, “It is important to address the pain issue in the particular muscle to relieve it as close to the onset as possible. The longer the pain is in the body, the more the body is comfortable and adjusts to that abnormal condition. It is particularly important to take care of our bodies in this time of stress and rapid change.”

        Wells has been a medical massage therapist since 1986, certified by the Health Enrichment School. She works with car accident victims, slip-and falls, computer repetition injuries and work-related accidents.

        “Medical massage is a very specific technique where the muscle is identified which is causing the pain, the kind of pain is identified and the appropriate techniques are applied to remove that kind of pain. With therapeutic massage, nonspecific techniques are applied without direction to allow the muscle to soften,” explains Wells.
