Olson decided to stay in this area after completing his training, seeing a need to help residents realize how therapeutic massage can help. The tendency for doctors to advise massage and medical insurance plans to cover them has greatly expanded in the last few years.
The difference between therapeutic or medical massage, and the normal Swedish "relaxation" massage is that therapeutic massage targets specific problems the client is having, such as neck pain or lower back pain from fallen arches. It is also a deeper tissue massage, which helps people such as athletes recover from injuries faster. It can also improve performance, lessening chances for injury in the first place. Since starting his business, Olson has seen a growth in high school and college athletes coming to him for help.
The cost for this medical massage is no more than a regular Swedish massage. Olson offers a chair massage for $15, a 30-minute half-body massage focusing on specific areas for $30, and an hour-long session for $50. However, for all Southern students and faculty showing proper identification Olson is offering a $15 discount.
