Managing Back and Neck Pain in the Heart of NYC
For New Yorkers, back and neck pain are often treated as inevitable side effects of city life. Whether it’s the physical toll of a long commute, "tech neck" from hours of desk work in Midtown, or the strain of training for the NYC Marathon, chronic discomfort can quickly limit your ability to enjoy everything the city has to offer.
At Columbus Circle Massage Therapy (CCMT), we believe you shouldn't have to "just live with it." Our approach focuses on Medical Massage—an outcome-based therapy designed to target specific clinical issues rather than providing a one-size-fits-all relaxation experience.
Why Medical Massage for Back and Neck Pain?
Medical massage is the application of specific treatment protocols targeted to a problem area. While a traditional spa massage feels good in the moment, medical massage at CCMT aims for long-term functional improvement.
Our lead therapist, Jeanne LaPrelle, LMT, brings over 15 years of experience, including work at prestigious institutions like the Hospital for Special Surgery and Mt. Sinai. This clinical background allows us to effectively treat conditions such as:
Cervical Strain & "Tech Neck": Releasing tension in the scalenes and suboccipitals to alleviate headaches and stiffness.
Chronic Lower Back Pain: Using deep tissue and myofascial release to address postural imbalances and sciatica.
Post-Surgical Tension: Safely managing soft tissue recovery to restore range of motion.
A Targeted, Collaborative Approach
At our Manhattan studio, we specialize in trigger point therapy and myofascial release. These techniques go deep into the muscle layers to break up adhesions (knots) and improve blood flow.
We often work with the consent of your Physician or Physical Therapist to ensure our treatments complement your existing recovery plan. Our goal is to help you:
Climb Subway stairs with greater strength.
Walk with better balance and confidence through the park.
Move more freely so you can get back to the activities you love.
