Your Massage Therapy Visit
At Scott Family Health, each massage therapy visit begins with a careful review of your diagnosis, health history, and any problems you may be experiencing. An evaluation is then performed to confirm your working diagnosis and determine whether your pain could be stemming from deeper conditions. To better serve you, our therapists have immediate access to both a doctor of chiropractic care and a doctor of physical therapy, should any questions arise during treatment.
Non-Invasive Care
Massage therapy is a safe, non-invasive form of healthcare that can be beneficial for patients who have acute or chronic pain and for alleviating stress or tension. Massage not only offers relief, it has also been shown to improve a number of conditions and concerns. At Scott Family Health, our goal is to ensure long-lasting benefits from massage therapy for each of our patients.
Sports Massage
During a sports massage, your therapist will use a variety of techniques as they focus on specific muscle groups throughout the body. A typical massage will begin with rhythmic, stroking movements that will help you to relax allowing your therapist to identify any tense and tender areas. As the massage continues, therapists gradually begin to focus on deeper tissues, using a kneading motion to stretch muscle fibers and stimulate circulation. Near the end, they may use forceful grasping and stretching motions to separate and break down harmful tissues. Through sports massage in Loveland, athletes find the relief they need to properly heal from the hard work they have put their body through.

Christina Hammond, LMT
Christina graduated from IBMC, Fort Collins in 2021 with the passion to help people exist with less discomfort. Her interest in the profession started young after her sixth-grade teacher gave a lesson concerning the wonders of human anatomy; her mother asked for a massage and her inspiration for a career combining the two just CLICKED. Her passion drives her to pass on peace and tranquility to every individual that she sees with the goal of making the patient feel better than when they walked in, helping obtain a better range of motion, and leaving them feeling relaxed. She is quick to accommodate your needs by adjusting the range of pressure from very light (lymphatic massage) to deep pressure (deep tissue massage), specializing in light to medium pressure.
