Shownotes

In this episode of the Injury Pros Podcast, host and attorney Steven Debonis speaks with Melissa Cordi, owner of Methods Therapeutic Massage & Bodywork in Yardley, Pennsylvania.

Melissa brings a unique background to the conversation. Before becoming a licensed massage therapist, she spent 25 years as an EMT, witnessing the immediate impact of injuries firsthand. Today, she works with clients on the other side of that experience, helping them manage pain and support long-term recovery.

Steven and Melissa discuss the role therapeutic massage can play in injury recovery, common misconceptions about massage therapy, and the importance of listening to clients and tailoring treatment to their needs. They also explore techniques like reflexology, cupping, and deep tissue massage, and share advice for those dealing with chronic neck and back pain.
