Ideal Medical Massage

Ideal Medical Massage, owned by Shannon Murray, recently opened in Birmingham. The practice offers comprehensive body treatments designed to promote recovery and enhance overall well-being. Their skilled therapists have extensive training in various techniques to address everyday discomfort or pain with serious injuries. Each treatment is tailored to client’s specific needs, aiming to improve flexibility and reduce pain. Techniques offered include: IASTM Tools — a treatment that uses expertly crafted tools to target and stimulate connective tissue, enabling the release of scar tissue, adhesions, and fascial restrictions; Fascial Stretch Therapy — a procedure which releases tension and retrain overcompensated muscles and enhance mobility by realigning the fascia; and Cupping Therapy, an ancient Eastern therapy that utilizes specialized cupping tools to alleviate pain, reduce inflammation, improve blood flow, relieve muscle tension, and enhance overall cell repair. “We offer other massages as well like Swedish massage, deep tissue massage and lymphatic drainage, but we don’t want people to treat it like it’s a spa setting. We want people to see us more as they would their physical therapist, chiropractor or acupuncturist. We pair well with those types of treatments,” said Murray. Ideal Medical Massage is located at 630 N. Old Woodward Avenue, Suite 303, Birmingham.
