Matlacha Wellness Center

One of the most important elements of exercise is recovery. What we do on our “days off” can have a dramatic effect on results, so we want to maximize those activities that help you recover quickly and comfortably. That’s where our Massage Therapy staff enters the equation.

Matlacha Wellness Center offers massage therapy to fit any lifestyle or circumstances.

We have two Licensed Massage Therapists on staff and our massage therapists are well-versed in several different forms of massage:

Swedish Massage Therapy: A therapeutic full-body treatment designed to promote relaxation, improve circulation, relieve muscle tension, and reduce stress.
Deep Tissue Massage Therapy: Deep Tissue Massage is used to release chronic muscle tension and helps break up and eliminate scar tissue. This technique uses slow strokes, with more direct deep pressure to specific parts of the body.
Myofascial Trigger Point Massage Therapy: Trigger Point Massage Therapy is specifically designed to alleviate the source of the pain through cycles of isolated pressure and release. There are several myofascial trigger points throughout the human body, and each one can act as a reservoir for stress. This form of therapy locates and eliminates that stress.
Neuromuscular Therapy: Neuromuscular therapy is a program of recovery from acute and chronic pain syndromes by utilizing specific therapeutic, Swedish based massage therapy, to eliminate the causes of pain patterns. This approach brings about balance between the musculoskeletal system and the nervous system. It enhances the function of joints, muscles, and movement, and it releases endorphins, the body’s own natural pain killers.
Fibromyalgia Massage Therapy: Swedish based massage using light massage strokes that soothe sore muscles, reduce pain, and improve sleep. Massage for fibromyalgia also often uses light stretching and other physical therapy techniques.
Sports Massage: This special form of massage is typically used before, during, and after athletic events to prepare the athlete for peak performance, to drain away fatigue, to relieve swelling, to reduce muscle tension, to promote flexibility and to prevent injuries. Depending on the needs of the athlete, a variety of techniques are used including classic Swedish strokes, cross-fiber friction, pressure-point work, and joint mobilization.
Cupping Enhanced Circulation Massage Therapy: Cupping involves placing glass, bamboo or plastic jars on the skin and creating a vacuum by suctioning out the air. The underlying tissue is raised, or sucked, partway into the cup. The purpose of cupping is to enhance circulation, help relieve pain, remove “heat” and pull out the toxins that linger in your body’s tissues.
We understand that everyone’s needs are different when it comes to massage therapy treatment. We have attentive, experienced therapists, who will work with you on providing the most beneficial treatment for your specific needs.

One of the things we are most passionate about at Matlacha Wellness Center is exercise therapy and post physical therapy rehabilitation.

We believe that helping people recover after injury, surgery, or illness is one of the highest forms of personal training.

Tim’s passion for Physical Therapy began in college, when he successfully rehabbed his own herniated disc. Not only did this allow him to avoid an extremely expensive surgery, but it also lit a fire inside him. Tim dedicated himself to learning everything to know about physical therapy, physiology, and rehabilitation techniques.

He even changed his career path from medical school so that he could focus more on helping others rehabilitate naturally and non-surgically.

We have years of experience helping people with a variety of illnesses and conditions.

Whether you’re recovering from a knee surgery and need gait therapy or you’re an elite athlete recovering from a sports-related injury, we can help you achieve success.

Here are just a few of the conditions we work with:

Joint Replacements, Injuries, Strokes, Low Back Pain, Cardiovascular Disease, Shoulder Conditions, Parkinson’s, Osteoporosis, Multiple Sclerosis, Arthritis, Cancer, Muscular Dystrophy, A.L.S., Diabetes, Upper Back Pain, Gait Training, Sports Injuries, and much more.

Our post-rehab programs are based on the functional movements needed for everyday, independent living, like walking, bending, climbing stairs or carrying groceries.

They are designed to build strength, flexibility, balance, and stamina and to restore function.

Every plan is realistic, results-oriented and unique to the client. We try to develop each rehab program alongside our clients’ physicians. Before designing a rehab program, we take a medical history and perform a thorough assessment. We then design a plan that will get you the best possible results.

We continue to help people recover from injuries and accidents, and consistently deliver astonishing results to clients who had been living with illness or disabilities. We are passionate and proud of their stories and can’t wait to share them with you. Living with pain is one of the most stressful things you can do and one of the greatest detractors from quality of life.

You don’t have to live with pain! Call Matlacha Wellness Center at 239-558-4146 and let us help you on the path to recovery.
