Massage Therapy for Pequannock, NJ

Massage at a pain center, for Pequannock

At Montville MedSpa & Pain Center, massage therapy sits alongside pain care, MedSpa treatments and wellness under one roof. For Pequannock and Pompton Plains that puts a licensed massage therapist and a pain physician in the same Towaco office, about five miles from the middle of the township and roughly nine minutes without traffic by way of Jacksonville Road.

When massage is the therapeutic kind

Some sessions are about switching off. Others are about a body that has stopped moving the way it should, such as:

• a neck that will not turn fully when you back out of the driveway
• a low back that stiffens after yard work
• a knot under the shoulder blade that has been there for months
• forearms that ache after a day at the keyboard

For problems like these, deep tissue massage works into the deeper layers of muscle and connective tissue, and a 30-minute trigger point add-on releases specific knots in a muscle group, which suits athletes and people with repetitive strain.

When massage is not the whole answer

Massage may help reduce muscle tension and discomfort for some people, but the right approach depends on what is causing the pain. If a problem keeps returning, Dr. Donna D’Alessio, MD leads non-surgical care for back, neck, shoulder and joint pain in the same practice, including trigger point injections. Patients already seen for pain management can add massage to their care without going anywhere else.

Recovering from surgery

Lymphatic drainage massage is gentle and rhythmic, and may help reduce swelling and support recovery after certain surgical procedures. An individual assessment comes first, to make sure it is appropriate for you.

Pequannock clients ask

Is firm pressure right for everyone? No. If you take a blood thinner, have had a blood clot, are pregnant or have osteoporosis, say so before your session so it can be planned around you.

Who will I see? Maryann Constantino, LMT, whose approach is holistic as well as therapeutic.

Should I book 60 or 90 minutes? For deep tissue on the whole back plus the neck and shoulders, 90 minutes lets your therapist work without rushing.

Which days can I come? Monday to Saturday, with Tuesday hours until 7 pm and Saturday hours from 9 am to 1 pm.
