Massage Therapy for Wanaque, NJ

Three choices to make when you book

Booking a massage at Montville MedSpa & Pain Center comes down to three decisions: which kind of massage, how long, and whether to add anything. All of them can be talked through with the therapist, Maryann Constantino, LMT, but it helps to know the options before you pick a time.

Choice one: the kind

• Swedish. Long, flowing strokes with gentle pressure over the whole body. Choose it when the aim is to slow down, sleep better or ease the tension that stress leaves behind.
• Deep tissue. Slower, firmer work on the deeper layers of muscle and connective tissue, for tightness that has been there a while, stiffness that limits how you move, or recovery after an injury.
• Lymphatic drainage. A light, rhythmic massage that encourages lymph fluid to move. It may help some kinds of swelling and can support recovery after certain operations, when appropriate.

Choice two: the length

Swedish and deep tissue come as 60 or 90 minutes; lymphatic drainage is a 60-minute session. An hour covers the whole body, while the longer booking leaves time for a stubborn area to be worked properly without rushing the rest.

Choice three: an add-on, or not

Each add-on costs extra and is built into the session rather than tacked on at the end:

• Trigger point therapy, a 30-minute focus on knots in particular muscles.
• Hot stone therapy, heated stones that warm tight muscles so they release more easily.
• Scalp massage, working the head, neck and spine for tension headaches and neck stiffness.
• Reflexology, pressure on points of the feet.
• Reiki, a gentle energy-based technique.
• CBD oil, hemp-derived oil for an extra calming layer.

When it is more than tension

This is also a physician-led pain center. If an ache follows an injury, travels down an arm or leg, or keeps coming back, pain management with Dr. Donna D’Alessio, MD, board certified in Physical Medicine & Rehabilitation, may be the better first appointment, and massage can be planned around that care.

Before you come

Wear comfortable clothes, drink water, skip a big meal just beforehand and arrive a few minutes early. Mention any injury, condition or recent surgery so the session can be planned around it.
