Meteora Massage

Medical massage therapy is a system of massage therapy that uses manual techniques designed to reduce pain, spasm, and inflammation. Medical massage therapy has two main treatment goals; the reduction of inflammation and the reestablishment of normal range of motion in joint and connective tissue. The Medical massage therapist is trained in a state licensed and approved educational program. She is a member of the American Medical Massage association and is nationally board certified in Medical massage therapy.

My name is Amy Lopez. Thank you for visiting my web-page.
I am a graduate of Blue Heron academy of healing arts and sciences. I am certified through the AMMA (American Medical Massage Association). I have been educated and continue to study the anatomy and physiology of the body. I have been treating patients since Aug of 2006. If you are not familiar with Medical massage, I look forward to teaching you the benefits of Medical Massage!

Soft tissue treatments are used during each session. Soft tissue treatments are the use of  the hands to stretch, massage, and mobilize the musculoskeletal system of your body. Soft tissue therapy includes, compressing, squeezing, shaking, pulling, and twisting the muscles and limbs.

During your therapy treatments I may use passive range of motion to the joints. Acupressure, moist heat, cold packs, topical liniments, Kenesio taping (as seen during the olympics), electro-therapy, or other forms of manual therapy may also be used. 

Exercise is also an important part of massage therapy. Passive exercises will be used during treatment as well as assigned exercises for home use. These are both a crucial part of your massage treatments.

There are many physiological effects that occur in your body during your treatments. Much like physical therapy, medical massage can be used to structurally align your body and help eliminate your pain. Whether you have experienced pain for several days or many years a recommended treatment plan is generally necessary to eliminate your pain.

I am familiar with relaxation/swedish massage. I will schedule relaxation/swedish massages upon request but my passion and primary focus is to treat an aliment you are suffering from. 


I look forward to your business. With the first referral that you send me you can enjoy  10%  off your next treatment. When you refer 3 patients you will receive a free 30 min massage.  

   Chair massages are now available for your office, parties, and special events.
