In New England we all used to the throes of winter's cold weather. Many of us have begun our winter training, and others of us settle in for the winter. But many of our patients often ask us, Why do my aches and pain increase in the cold? Whether you have chronic condition or long standing orthopedic problem, weather often magnifies your discomfort.
In absence of absolute scientific proof, several discussions upon research provide proposed explanations for this cause, from barometric pressure, to decrease in blood flow to joints and elasticity of muscles and tendons. There is no shortage of massage establishments and the nearest franchise is on every corner offering you run of the mill massage.

A very professional setting, and Marisol was just incredible. She knew exactly what I was describing and by the time she finished and I got into my car I literally felt like a different person than the one that had walked in. Trying not to exaggerate here, but my leg muscles actually were relaxed and strong, when for years and years they've been weak, painful and tight. Incredible. Needless to say, I'll be returning.

As a cancer survivor someone who subsequently struggles with chronic pain, my first appointment was unbelievable. Mariann had my pain pin pointed just watching me walk in from the parking lot. She immediately applied pressure to a specific location on my hip and my hip joint moved freely, without pain, for the first time in months. If only I could take her home with me! Really amazing place!

The massage was great. Honestly the best I’ve ever had and I really felt like I was listened to for the first time in years.
The “ambiance” is akin to a jiffy lube waiting room and not very relaxing. Between the constant beeps of the door being opened and closed, overhearing of front desk conversations, complete and utter lack of tranquil background noise (there was a radio on in the distance somewhere you could barely hear playing, like, terrible soft rock), and what sounded like someone tunneling through the walls followed by loud banging of what I assume was a dryer, it was impossible

I had been having intense knee pain for over 3 months (with the inability to go running), went to PT for a month and had massages from 2 other massage therapists with no results. I saw Amy and she was able to immediately figure out what was causing the issue and within a week I was able to start running again. Highly recommend!

I had a fantastic massage!
I got a certificate gift card for my birthday and just went in for a full body massage. I forgot bringing my certificate card and they helped find it on their system in the computer, that was nice that I did not have to reschedule for another time.
Amy is really professional and really has magic hands working through my whole body and it felt so relaxing. And she found my tight spots and helped release them, that felt amazing. She did brighten up my birthday.
I like the massaging bed too since they have heater and warming it up before i got in. That is very thoughtful

I had my first massage at OrthoMed a couple days ago with Bob. I recently had carpal tunnel release surgery, and as I have been slowly getting back to my normal routine, my hand and arm have been been getting really tight and uncomfortable. Bob worked out all the tension in my upper body and neck. My hand feels amazing, as does the rest of me! I didn’t realize how tight my upper body was. I’m able to hold my shoulders back normally, I can move my neck again. Looking forward to going back in a couple weeks!
