NJOSM
New Jersey Orthopedic and Sports Massage
Our Services
We offer several treatment options which address a wide range of injuries, pain conditions, tensions, movement limitations, and inflammatory conditions. Our goal is to aid in healing, recovery, and general wellness.
Orthopedic Massage
Orthopedic massage is targeted soft tissue work for injuries and pain conditions. This treatment is not a full body massage but it addresses the entire kinetic chain. It is designed to resolve chronic and acute pain conditions, and range of motion limitations caused by injury, joint dysfunction, nerve conditions, and scar tissue.
Sports Massage
Sports massage is designed to target areas of pain or tension which inhibit functional movement patterns. This massage addresses the body with the intensions of flushing lactic acid and toxins from the body, reestablishing balance, alleviating any sport-specific tension, and restoring full function and range of motion to the joints. This massage covers the whole body however it is not meant to treat specific injuries.
Cupping
Cupping is suction applied to the skin which lifts and separates connective tissue, releases soft tissue tension, and helps to break up adhesion. The healing properties of cupping work by facilitating the drainage of toxins and stagnation into the lymphatic system, and by circulating fresh oxygenated blood to the treatment area.
Client Testimonials
We pride ourselves on our success rate and the relationships we build with our clients.
“I am not exaggerating when I say this is the only sports/ deep tissue massage I will ever get for the rest of my life. Melissa listens to you describe your problem areas and then, equipped with deep understanding of the human musculoskeletal system, knows just how to release tension. I always leave feeling like a new person. Highly recommend for all athletes or anyone looking for pain relief.”

Yogi“Melissa is a science-based miracle worker. After 4 weeks of physical therapy for my first running injury, my knee, I hoped a sports massage would speed the healing. Within literal SECONDS of meeting me and reading my super brief intake form, she explained what was happening in my body, why I was still feeling lingering pain, and how she was going to fix it. She’d put many orthopedic docs to shame with how much she knows about anatomy and exercise physiology. My knee felt so much better running after just one session, like night and day, and the chronic lower back tightness I just thought was “normal” completely disappeared. I’ve now had three sessions and went from capping my runs at 15 minutes to running for a full hour with super minimal stiffness / discomfort. I’ll be back to 100% faster than I thought possible thanks to Melissa, and with her help I’ll run my first marathon this Fall injury and worry free!”

Sports Massage client“With my laundry list of massages received from multiple professionals, Melissa is the best! You can feel her knowledge, passion and experience when she works on you. When you walk out feeling a 180° difference from how you came in goes to show her exceptional skills. Extremely attentive to your needs, immense knowledge of her craft, with the perfect balance of firm pressure and care.”

IFBB Pro bodybuilder“Melissa is fantastic. From the moment I met her, I knew I was going to like her! She is friendly, down to earth, caring and has a genuine concern for how she is going to help you, the client. I’ve had MANY massages before, but I left feeling like this made a difference immediately. There wasn’t a timer going off at the end, the end was when Melissa felt she had completed her work. She spent time in areas that we had discussed and found other areas of concern. She is INCREDIBLY knowledgeable about her job and you can tell this is her passion. As of recent, she was able to help me through my pregnancy which was so amazing. She made sure she had all of the appropriate pillows and props to make sure I was comfortable. She continues to be my favorite massage therapist! I would without a doubt recommend New Jersey Orthopedic and Sports Massage and Melissa to anyone! Thank you Melissa!”
