Injury Massage Therapy in Utah

Massage therapy is a highly effective tool for aiding the healing process after trauma, surgery, or if you want to prevent future injuries. Whether you're dealing with a sports injury, car accident, repetitive strain, or post-operative discomfort, targeted massage therapy can relieve pain, restore range of motion, and promote long-term recovery.

At Body Balance Massage and Float, we offer specialized massage therapy services in Utah, performed by highly trained professionals who understand how to work with injured tissues safely and effectively.

This massage is a customized bodywork approach that targets specific areas affected by acute or chronic injuries. Unlike general relaxation massage, this massage therapy is more clinical in nature, focusing on muscle rehabilitation, tension release, and realignment of soft tissue structures.

Our licensed massage therapists use a combination of advanced techniques such as:

- Deep Tissue Massage for realigning deeper layers of muscle and fascia

- Trigger Point Therapy to release tight muscle knots and referred pain

- Cupping Therapy to reduce inflammation and it's good at increasing blood flow

- Gua Sha Massage to break up adhesions and scar tissue

- Warm Bamboo Massage to gently warm and soften deep tissue before more intensive work

These therapies are applied based on your individual condition, tolerance, and recovery goals.

At Body Balance Massage and Float, our therapists have experience working with a wide variety of injuries, both acute and chronic. Whether you’re recovering from a recent accident or managing pain that’s built up over time, we’re here to help your body heal and restore balance.

We commonly treat conditions such as whiplash, low back pain, sciatica, and neck or shoulder tension stemming from car accidents or poor posture. Many clients also come to us with repetitive strain injuries, including carpal tunnel syndrome or tendonitis caused by work or overuse.

Athletes often seek our help for sports-related issues like pulled muscles, joint stiffness, or post-training soreness. Post-surgical clients may benefit from gentle, targeted massage therapy that helps prevent scar tissue buildup, supports future injury prevention, enhances blood flow, and improves range of motion.

This type of massage supports faster healing and helps reduce overall recovery time by increasing blood flow and delivering more oxygen to damaged tissues. Clients often experience decreased pain and inflammation as the body responds to targeted treatment.

Over time, this therapy can significantly improve flexibility, restore muscle function, and reduce the presence of scar tissue and adhesions. By realigning soft tissues and relieving tension, it also contributes to better joint range of motion and improved posture. With regular massage sessions, many clients notice lasting relief, enhanced mobility, and a renewed sense of physical well-being.

Your massage therapy session will begin with a brief consultation to understand your symptoms, medical history, and goals. The therapist will then perform a personalized treatment focusing on the injured areas, while maintaining overall muscular balance to support full-body healing.

Your session may incorporate techniques like stretching, myofascial release, or assisted movements to enhance mobility and tissue recovery.

For deeper healing, many clients choose to combine massage therapy for injuries with float therapy. While massage works to realign muscles and reduce physical tension, floating complements the process by helping the nervous system reset and recover.

Float therapy involves resting in a warm, open pool of highly concentrated Epsom salt water. This weightless environment takes pressure off joints and muscles, allowing your body to fully relax. The magnesium-rich water helps reduce inflammation and supports faster muscle recovery, while the sensory-reduced environment lowers cortisol and promotes mental clarity.

When used after injury massage, float therapy can amplify your results by extending the session’s benefits, reducing soreness, and accelerating the healing process.

Our open float pools are designed to be comfortable even for those who are claustrophobic or new to floating. Ask about pairing your next injury massage with a float session for a complete, full-body recovery experience.
