Below are answers to the questions we hear most often at Spacibo Therapeutic Massage in Coral Springs, FL. If you do not see your question here, contact us or call (954) 840-6680 and we will be glad to help.
Do I need a referral or prescription to book?
No. You can book directly with us. Spacibo is an owner-operated clinical massage practice, and you do not need a doctor’s referral or prescription to come in. If you are recovering from surgery or a recent injury, we simply ask that you have clearance from your physician to receive massage.
Do you take insurance?
Spacibo is a cash-pay practice, which means we do not bill insurance. This lets us focus fully on results and give you the time and individualized treatment your condition actually requires, rather than what an insurance company will approve. You can review current pricing on our Cost and Availability page.
How is this different from a spa or relaxation massage?
A spa massage is designed to help you relax for an hour. Our work is clinical and corrective. Every session is assessment-based and targets the specific muscles, tendons, and fascia causing your pain or restriction, using techniques like deep tissue, neuromuscular therapy, trigger point therapy, and myofascial release. The goal is measurable improvement in pain and movement that lasts.
What should I expect on my first visit?
Your first visit begins with a conversation about your health history, your goals, and what aggravates your symptoms, followed by a movement assessment. From there you receive focused, hands-on treatment tailored to your condition, and you will usually leave with simple self-care guidance to support the work between visits. You can see full details on our New Clients page.
What conditions do you treat?
We specialize in pain relief and performance for active adults and athletes. Common conditions include sciatica, low back pain, neck and shoulder pain, migraines and tension headaches, tennis and golfer’s elbow, rotator cuff and frozen shoulder, plantar fasciitis, IT band syndrome, runner’s knee, and chronic musculoskeletal pain.
How many sessions will I need?
It depends on your condition, how long you have had it, and your goals. Some clients feel meaningful relief after one or two sessions, while chronic or long-standing issues often improve over a series of visits. After your first session, you will get an honest sense of what to expect, with no pressure and no long-term contracts.
What should I wear?
Wear or bring comfortable, loose clothing. Depending on the area being treated and the techniques used, you may be draped professionally on the table or treated in athletic-style clothing for movement-based work. We will always make sure you are comfortable.
Do you work with athletes?
Yes. We work with runners, cyclists, golfers, tennis and pickleball players, CrossFitters, triathletes, and weekend warriors on injury prevention, recovery, and performance, as well as treatment of existing injuries. Sports massage and orthopedic soft-tissue work are core parts of what we do.

Does massage therapy help thoracic outlet syndrome?
Yes. Therapeutic massage can help relieve thoracic outlet syndrome by releasing tension in the scalene muscles, pectoralis minor, and surrounding soft tissue that compress the nerves and blood vessels running through the thoracic outlet. Neuromuscular therapy techniques are particularly effective at reducing numbness, tingling, and arm pain associated with TOS. At Spacibo Therapeutic Massage in Coral Springs, FL, we have treated thoracic outlet syndrome for over 28 years using targeted soft tissue work.
Can massage therapy relieve carpal tunnel syndrome?
Massage therapy can significantly reduce carpal tunnel symptoms by releasing adhesions in the forearm flexors, reducing inflammation around the carpal tunnel, and improving circulation to the median nerve. Many clients experience reduced numbness, tingling, and grip weakness with consistent therapeutic massage. At Spacibo Therapeutic Massage in Coral Springs, FL, we address carpal tunnel through targeted neuromuscular therapy and deep tissue work.
Does massage help plantar fasciitis?
Yes. Massage therapy is one of the most effective conservative treatments for plantar fasciitis. Deep tissue massage and neuromuscular therapy break down adhesions in the plantar fascia, reduce inflammation, and release tension in the calf muscles and Achilles tendon that contribute to heel pain. Most clients at Spacibo Therapeutic Massage in Coral Springs, FL notice significant improvement within 3 to 5 sessions.
Can massage therapy relieve sciatica pain?
Massage therapy can provide substantial relief from sciatica by releasing the piriformis and deep hip rotator muscles that compress the sciatic nerve, reducing muscle guarding in the low back, and improving mobility in the lumbar spine. At Spacibo Therapeutic Massage in Coral Springs, FL, we have 28 years of experience treating sciatica using deep tissue and neuromuscular techniques tailored to each client’s specific presentation.
Does massage therapy help whiplash injuries?
Yes. Therapeutic massage is highly effective for whiplash recovery. It reduces muscle spasm in the neck and upper back, improves cervical range of motion, decreases scar tissue formation, and relieves the headaches commonly associated with whiplash injuries. At Spacibo Therapeutic Massage in Coral Springs, FL, we use a systematic soft tissue approach to address all layers of whiplash involvement, from superficial to deep.
Can massage therapy help with migraines?
Massage therapy can reduce migraine frequency and intensity by releasing trigger points in the suboccipital muscles, upper trapezius, and sternocleidomastoid that are known to refer pain into the head. It also reduces overall nervous system tension and improves blood flow. Many clients at Spacibo Therapeutic Massage in Coral Springs, FL report fewer migraines per month after a series of targeted therapeutic sessions.
Does massage therapy help neck pain?
Yes. Therapeutic massage is one of the most effective treatments for neck pain from muscle tension, poor posture, injury, or degenerative changes. By releasing the scalenes, levator scapulae, upper trapezius, and deep cervical muscles, massage restores range of motion and reduces both acute and chronic neck pain. Spacibo Therapeutic Massage in Coral Springs, FL specializes in neck pain treatment with over 28 years of clinical experience.
How many massage sessions does it take to get relief?
Most clients at Spacibo Therapeutic Massage in Coral Springs, FL experience noticeable improvement within 1 to 3 sessions for acute conditions. Chronic issues, such as long-standing sciatica, thoracic outlet syndrome, or recurring migraines, typically respond best to a series of 6 to 10 sessions. We offer a free discovery visit so you can discuss your specific situation before committing to a treatment plan.
What is the difference between deep tissue massage and neuromuscular therapy?
Deep tissue massage uses sustained pressure to release chronic muscle tension throughout a broader area. Neuromuscular therapy (NMT) is a more targeted technique that addresses specific trigger points, hypersensitive knots in muscle tissue that cause local and referred pain. At Spacibo Therapeutic Massage in Coral Springs, FL, we often combine both approaches in a single session for maximum therapeutic benefit.
Is therapeutic massage right for me if I’m not an athlete?
Absolutely. While Spacibo Therapeutic Massage in Coral Springs, FL works extensively with athletes, the majority of our clients are everyday people, desk workers, teachers, parents, and seniors, dealing with pain, tension, and mobility issues that affect their quality of life. Therapeutic massage benefits anyone who has a body and wants it to work better.
