If so, therapeutic massage may be the answer. It enhances your life by decreasing the effects of physical, mental and emotional stress on your body no matter what your age, profession, activity level or physical condition. Massage therapy can be a fundamental part of a preventative maintenance program integrated into one’s overall health routine.

Unlike massage chains and health spas, we perform medical therapeutic massage. We also offer relaxation massages, but the majority of our clients come to us with specific areas of acute or chronic need.

Many of our clients are athletes. Others are experiencing pain from surgery or injuries, or they’re trying to avoid surgery and a reliance on pain medication.

Some of the common injuries we treat are bulging/herniated disc, sciatica, frozen shoulder, carpal tunnel and plantar fasciitis.

Every massage is customized to the specific needs of the client. When necessary, we work in conjunction with other practitioners – such as chiropractors, physical therapists and acupuncturists – to ensure optimal results.

Pathways 2 Health provides massage therapy services to clients in Melrose, Wakefield, Stoneham, Malden, Saugus and the north suburban Boston area.
