Heal Smarter. Move Better.

Injuries can sideline your lifestyle—but they don’t have to define it. At Rupp Massage in Indianapolis, we specialize in therapeutic massage that supports recovery from injuries big and small. Whether you’re healing from a sports strain, recovering post-surgery, or dealing with lingering tension from an old injury, we help you feel like yourself again.

We understand how frustrating it can be to deal with an injury. Our goal is to help you recover not just faster, but better. We offer therapeutic massage specifically tailored for injury recovery to support your body’s natural healing process and get you back to doing what you love.

From runners recovering from knee pain to parents healing from back strain, we work with clients from all walks of life who are ready to move forward with less pain, better range of motion, and improved muscle function.

Why Massage Is a Smart Step in Injury Recovery

Massage therapy plays a key role in rehabilitation. It’s a hands-on, natural treatment that supports your body’s own healing systems by:

• Increasing circulation to deliver oxygen and nutrients to injured tissues
• Stimulating lymphatic drainage to reduce swelling and speed healing
• Softening scar tissue and adhesions that can limit mobility
• Relaxing surrounding muscles that may be compensating for an injury
• Reducing pain without the use of medications
• Encouraging flexibility and function during your recovery process

These benefits are especially useful during rehabilitation from muscle strains, ligament injuries, post-operative recovery, and chronic pain syndromes. We work closely with your recovery timeline—offering light, targeted work in the early stages and deeper, more therapeutic work as healing progresses.

Common Injuries We Support

Whether your injury came from a sports mishap, strain in working out, work accident, or everyday activity, we’re here to help. We often work with clients recovering from:

• Muscle strains and sprains
• Tendonitis and bursitis
• Rotator cuff injuries
• Sciatica and nerve impingement
• Car accidents or whiplash
• Post-surgical recovery
• Overuse injuries (like tennis elbow or plantar fasciitis)
• Chronic tension following an old injury
• Injuries may occur from prolonged sitting or time on feet

If you’re unsure whether massage is right for your injury, we’re happy to talk through your concerns before booking.

How Our Massage Therapists Personalize Your Care

At Rupp Massage, we don’t believe in a one-size-fits-all approach. Every recovery journey is unique, and your massage should reflect that. During your first visit, we’ll assess your current condition, injury history, pain level, and goals. From there, we design a massage plan that fits your body, your timeline, and your comfort level.

We may incorporate:

• Deep tissue massage to address muscular restrictions
• Trigger point therapy to relieve referred pain
• Myofascial release to reduce tension and improve movement
• Passive stretching and range-of-motion work as appropriate
• Cupping or Power Plate therapy (if suitable)
• Infrared Sauna can be highly effective in reducing pain and inflammation following the massage

We’re also happy to coordinate care with your physical therapist, chiropractor, or physician if you’re undergoing a broader recovery plan.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: How soon after an injury can I get a massage?
A: It depends on your injury. For acute inflammation (like swelling or bruising), it’s best to wait 48–72 hours and/or consult with your doctor or physical therapist. Once swelling is down and the injury is stable, therapeutic massage can be highly effective in promoting healing.

Q: Will a massage make my injury worse?
A: Not when it’s done properly. Our therapist is trained to avoid sensitive or contraindicated areas and work within your body’s limits. We adjust techniques to match your current stage of recovery, ensuring safe and beneficial treatment.

Q: Do you work with people recovering from surgery?
A: Yes. Post-surgical massage (once cleared by your physician) can help reduce scar tissue buildup, ease pain, and restore mobility. We also support clients undergoing orthopedic rehab.

Q: How often should I come in for injury recovery massage?
A: This varies based on the severity and type of injury. Some clients benefit from weekly sessions at first, then shift to bi-weekly or monthly maintenance. We’ll discuss a plan that works for your body and your schedule.

Q: Is this covered by insurance?
A: While massage is often considered out-of-pocket, we can provide receipts for HSA/FSA use and offer affordable packages. Feel free to ask about pricing when you call.
