Clinical Massage Therapy for Real Results

Massage therapy at FixingPain Clinic is focused on pain relief, mobility, recovery, and better daily function. Every session starts with your story, your symptoms, and how pain is affecting your life.

Some clients come in because their neck or back keeps tightening up. Others are dealing with jaw pain, headaches, shoulder tension, hip pain, sports recovery, postural issues, or discomfort that keeps returning no matter how much they stretch or rest.

Led by Shawn Brock, LMT, the FixingPain team looks at how your body is moving and where soft tissue restrictions may be contributing to the problem. Pain often shows up in one area while the source may involve nearby muscles, fascia, joints, posture, compensation patterns, or old injuries.

Your session may include clinical massage therapy, deep tissue work, Active Release-style techniques, stretching, mobility support, TMJ-focused massage, or focused treatment for areas like the jaw, neck, shoulders, back, hips, calves, or feet.
We also pay attention to how your body responds. If your pain changes, your range of motion improves, or a certain area needs more attention, that information helps guide the next session.

The work is personal, targeted, and built around helping you feel better, move better, and understand what your body needs next.

What We Treat With Massage Therapy

Massage therapy can help with many pain and movement problems, especially when tight muscles, restricted soft tissue, overuse, posture, or nerve irritation are part of the picture.

Chronic Pain

Recurring neck pain, back pain, shoulder pain, hip pain, and long-term muscle tension often need more than general pressure. We look at how the painful area is connected to the rest of your body and use hands-on care to help reduce tension, improve movement, and support lasting relief.

TMJ and Jaw Tension

TMJ discomfort often involves tight muscles in the jaw, face, neck, and shoulders. Specialized massage techniques can help reduce tension around the jaw, support better movement, and relieve discomfort that may contribute to headaches, clicking, clenching, or facial tightness.

Sports Recovery and Overuse

Athletes and active adults often need targeted bodywork to recover from training, reduce tightness, and keep moving well. Massage therapy may help with sore muscles, overuse patterns, restricted mobility, and recovery between workouts, runs, rides, games, or competitions.

Muscle Tension and Deep Tissue Restrictions

Deep tissue work may be used when deeper layers of muscle and fascia need focused attention. Pressure is adjusted to your body, your symptoms, and your goals. The goal is useful change, not forcing your body through pain.

Postural Issues and Desk-Related Pain

Long hours at a desk, in the car, or on the phone can create tension in the neck, shoulders, chest, back, and hips. Massage therapy can help relieve the soft tissue restrictions that make posture feel stiff, uncomfortable, or hard to maintain.

Nerve-Related Discomfort

When nerve irritation is part of the issue, we may use hands-on work, Active Release-style techniques, or SoftWave Therapy to support comfort and movement. This can be helpful when symptoms include tightness, tingling, radiating discomfort, or areas that feel restricted and sensitive.

Our Massage Therapy Services and Supportive Treatments

FixingPain Clinic offers several hands-on and technology-supported services that can be used on their own or combined as part of your care plan.

Clinical Massage Therapy

Clinical massage therapy is designed for people dealing with pain, tension, stiffness, restricted movement, recurring discomfort, or soft tissue issues that affect daily life.

Sports Massage Therapy

Sports massage therapy is ideal for athletes, runners, lifters, cyclists, golfers, weekend warriors, and active adults who need targeted recovery and performance support.

Active Release Technique

Active Release Technique is used for soft tissue restrictions, overuse injuries, scar tissue, nerve irritation, and areas that feel stuck or locked down.

TMJ Treatment

TMJ treatment focuses on jaw pain, facial tension, clicking, clenching, headaches, and neck-related jaw discomfort through specialized hands-on care.

SoftWave Therapy

SoftWave Therapy uses acoustic wave technology to support circulation, tissue response, comfort, and inflammation-related pain relief in targeted areas.

Massage Therapy vs. Sports Massage

Massage therapy is the broader service for pain relief, chronic tension, posture improvement, soft tissue restrictions, and daily movement problems. Sports massage is more specific to athletic recovery, performance, overuse, and sport-related movement demands.
