Quick answer

What are the benefits of massage therapy?

Massage therapy relaxes tight muscles, improves circulation, reduces pain and stress, and helps soft tissue heal after an injury. It’s especially effective for neck, shoulder and low back tension.

At Dayton Pain & Injury, licensed massage therapists offer deep tissue, therapeutic, relaxation and injury recovery massage, available through your accident claim or as affordable cash sessions, no insurance needed.

How to prepare for your massage

A few simple steps help you get the most out of every session.

  1. Book your time

    Call or book online. Same-day sessions are often available.

  2. Arrive a few minutes early

    Fill out a short intake form and settle in before your session starts.

  3. Share your goals

    Tell your therapist where it hurts, what you’d like to focus on, and any injuries or health conditions.

  4. Get comfortable

    Undress to your comfort level. You’ll stay covered with a sheet the whole time except the area being worked on.

  5. Speak up during the session

    Let your therapist know if you want more or less pressure at any point.

  6. Hydrate afterward

    Drink water and take it easy for the rest of the day to help your muscles recover.

Massage Therapy FAQ

Common questions about massage therapy

More questions? See our full FAQ or call (937) 910-0463.

Does deep tissue massage hurt?

You’ll feel firm pressure, and some spots may feel intense, but it shouldn’t be painful. Tell your therapist anytime and they’ll adjust. Mild soreness for a day or two afterward is normal.

How often should I get a massage?

For injury recovery or chronic tension, weekly or every-other-week sessions work well at first. For general wellness and stress relief, once a month is common.

Do you offer massage without insurance?

Yes. Cash massage sessions are available for stress relief, pain management or routine wellness. Call (937) 910-0463 for current rates and availability.

Is massage covered after a car accident?

Often, yes. Massage is commonly part of an accident recovery plan alongside chiropractic care and physical therapy, and we bill your auto insurer or attorney directly.

What should I do after a massage?

Drink water, move gently, and avoid intense exercise for the rest of the day. A warm shower or heat can ease any soreness.

Which massage is best for back pain?

Therapeutic or deep tissue massage usually works best for back pain, since it targets the specific muscles involved. Your therapist will recommend the right approach after talking with you.
