Behind our fun and relaxing Hawaiian theme you will also find some of the best trained medical Medical Massagemassage therapists in Scottsdale, Chandler, and the entire Phoenix area, providing advanced medical level massage therapy. Whether you have been suffering with chronic pain for many years, or just woke up this morning with a stiff neck, you will be in good hands at Hawaiian Experience Spa. Since we first opened in 2007 we have treated hundreds of clients suffering from dozens of medical issues with symptoms ranging from mild intermittent pain to debilitating chronic pain caused by a previous injury, car accident, or medical condition. Many area physicians have referred their patients to us for medical massage therapy.

 

Advanced Therapeutic Massage - Choose our advanced therapeutic massage if the primary reason for your visit is to treat a specific medical disorder or problem area. This can be something as simple as a a stiff neck or back to a complex chronic condition. The advanced therapeutic massage is the name for our medical massage.

 

Myofascial Release - This is an alternative type of medical treatment that can have profound effects. If you do not know what you need, however, we recommend choosing the Advanced Therapeutic Massage listed above.

 

If you would like a more general full body massage with just a little extra focus on a problem area you may be more happy with one of the following:

 

Nui Premium Massage - This is a premium full body therapeutic massage and is a great choice for your every month maintenance massage. It is generally deeper than a relaxation massage (although it can be lighter at your request) and is usually done on the full body. Your therapist can focus a little extra attention to any problem areas (back, etc.), however, if your main focus is to treat a problem area choose an advanced therapeutic massage.

 

Waikiki Therapeutic Massage -The Waikiki is full body therapeutic massage that uses a significant amount of lomi lomi techniques. Choose it for any situation from relaxation to more therapeutic needs such as back pain, range of motion problems, etc. Many believe that the relaxation and long flowing strokes of the Lomi Lomi enhance the therapeutic benefits of the Swedish, deep tissue, trigger point and other modalities used in this one of a kind massage.

 

Other Massages - We have lots of other massages, all of which are therapeutic. You can review all of the massages we offer on our Massage page.

 

What is Medical Massage Therapy?

Simply put, Medical Massage Therapy is the focused use of advanced massage techniques to treat a specific condition and achieve a specific outcome. In some cases the condition treated is first diagnosed by the patient’s physician. In other cases the medical massage therapist simply treats the patient based on the patient’s subjective description of his symptoms and following a thorough assessment of the patient’s muscles, posture, etc. Techniques used during a medical massage often include neuromuscular therapy, myofascial release, and lymphatic drainage massage among many others; however they can also include more common techniques such as relaxation massage. The main difference between a medical massage and a regular massage is that it is performed by therapists with advanced training and the treatment is structured to obtain a specific outcome.

 

Reducing or Eliminating Pain

Many of our clients first visit us because they are experiencing pain. The pain can be the result of aBack Pain medically diagnosed condition such as tendonitis, a muscle strain, fibromyalgia, a herniated disc, etc. It can also be from general muscle tension, a previous car accident or injury, or can be from no known cause. In many cases, medical massage therapy can eliminate the client’s pain permanently in only a few visits by releasing chronically hypertonic (tight) muscles, and bringing proper muscle balance back into your body. In other cases we may be able to only reduce your pain, perhaps enough to allow you to avoid surgery or other more invasion medical procedures. In only one visit you will know to what extent we can help you.

 

What can be treated with Medical Massage?*

Even if you have tried chiropractic treatments, physical therapy, or even massage therapy in the past we urge you to visit us for an Advanced Therapeutic Massage. One session will likely provide a noticeable reduction in your pain.

 

 

Client Comments: "Hawaiian Experience Spa (Healing Touch Spa) is a great escape from stress, which helps me relax and manage my chronic pain conditions. The atmosphere is very peaceful, tranquil and Hawaiian. The owners have put great thought into every minute detail to make it a true relaxing Hawaiian spa. They also accommodate to each individual’s needs, to make it a truly individual experience. The Spa offers such a variety of treatments it is hard to choose just one and has me coming back week after week. I have had many of their treatments, ranging from facials to scrubs to the different types of massages, and they have all been great! They have many massages that are not offered anywhere else in the valley. Their therapists are well trained and really want to help their clients with any problems they are having. I have seen a couple of their therapists and they have all been wonderful, however I mainly have Steve work on me. I have chronic pain and if it wasn’t for my massages at Hawaiian Experience Spa, I wouldn’t be able to do many the things I am able to do. The massages are part of my pain management treatment plan. It has been hard to find a massage therapist that could understand my unique problems and that would take the time to learn about my problems. Steve even takes time to research ways to help with my problems and pain. It is amazing to have found a massage therapist that cares so much about his clients. I recommend the Hawaiian Experience Spa to anyone to who wants to have a nice relaxing massage, facial, or treatment. Their therapists are especially great if you have a medical problem, like I do, and are in pain." Jen S.

 

"If you haven't been to the Hawaiian Experience Spa yet you are missing the best therapists in Scottsdale at a very reasonable price. I have been suffering from hip and low back pain as the result of an accident for over seven years. I think I've tried almost every spa or massage place in Scottsdale. After only three neuromuscular sessions with Eric, I am 98% pain free. Great atmosphere & staff." Therese H.

 

“I had a year of Chronic pain and one treatment virtually cured me. Incredible results from one therapy massage (Medical Massage). I will be back as soon as I am in town.” Bob R.

 

I had severe pain in my dominant hand from my elbow to my fingers which made every day living tasks like brushing my teeth or opening doors a painful endeavor. I found Hawaiian Experience Spa and read such great reviews of the therapists, that I decided to try Hawaiian instead. I came in for a neuromuscular therapy massage and I've never looked back. The meds ... didn't do diddly, but just a few massage sessions made my pain completely disappear. I only wish health insurance would catch up and cover such wonderful alternative therapies. Now I'm ready for something more relaxing! You have a client for life!)” Marilyn C.
