Massage Therapy
Therapeutic Massage in Miami — Deep Tissue, Prenatal, Myofascial & More
Therapeutic massage at Pandora Pilates in Coral Gables is offered as a standalone service and as a complement to Pilates and Physical Therapy sessions. Our licensed massage therapists work within the same clinical philosophy as the rest of the Pandora team — addressing the root cause of muscular tension, pain, and restriction rather than simply managing symptoms — making massage at Pandora a meaningfully different experience than a spa treatment.
Therapeutic massage focuses on specific health outcomes: pain relief, improved muscle function, enhanced circulation, and tissue healing, rather than general relaxation. Unlike a spa massage, therapeutic massage at Pandora uses targeted clinical techniques selected for your presenting condition and goals.
All massage sessions are 60 minutes unless otherwise stated.
Therapeutic Massage Sessions
Manual Therapy Sessions
Manual therapy sessions combine hands-on therapeutic massage with joint mobilization and soft tissue manipulation; a more clinically directed approach appropriate for clients managing specific musculoskeletal conditions, recovering from injury, or seeking targeted treatment for a known diagnosis.
All massage sessions are 60 minutes unless otherwise stated.
Myofascial Release Sessions
Myofascial Release (MFR) addresses the fascial system — the connective tissue network that surrounds and interconnects every muscle, bone, and organ in the body. Fascial restriction is a common but frequently overlooked source of chronic pain, limited mobility, and postural dysfunction. MFR uses gentle, sustained pressure applied to restricted fascial tissue to restore movement, reduce pain, and improve overall function. This technique is particularly effective for clients with chronic pain conditions, postural holding patterns, and movement restrictions that have not responded fully to other manual therapy approaches.
All massage sessions are 60 minutes unless otherwise stated.
TMJ Treatment Sessions
TMJ (Temporomandibular Joint) dysfunction affects the jaw joint and the surrounding masticatory muscles, often producing pain, clicking or popping, difficulty chewing, headaches, and referred tension in the neck and shoulders. TMJ treatment at Pandora combines intraoral and extraoral manual therapy, myofascial release of the jaw and cervical musculature, and targeted exercises to restore normal joint mechanics and reduce dysfunction. This is a specialized treatment appropriate for clients with a confirmed or suspected TMJ diagnosis.
All massage sessions are 60 minutes unless otherwise stated.
Massage + Pilates — The Combination That Works
Pairing massage therapy with Pilates — particularly Reformer, Tower, Chair, or Ladder Barrel sessions — creates a recovery-and-performance cycle that neither modality fully delivers on its own. Massage addresses soft-tissue restrictions and holding patterns that limit the quality of Pilates movement. Pilates then builds the strength and neuromuscular control that prevents those patterns from returning. Many Pandora clients schedule a massage on the same day as or the day before an intensive Pilates session for exactly this reason.
