Massage Therapy

Massage is a therapeutic technique used to promote relaxation and to increase the healing and recovery of injured and spasmed muscles by manipulating the soft tissues of the body. Regular therapeutic massage helps work out chronic muscular tension.  

Massage therapy is often used as a complement to chiropractic care. Together, chiropractic and massage facilitate the natural healing process by keeping the body in proper alignment and ensuring a free flow of nerve impulses and circulation of fluids. Therapeutic massage increases the effectiveness of chiropractic treatments by relaxing the body in preparation for adjustments. When muscles are relaxed and restored to their optimal length, correct posture and alignment are more easily achieved and sustained.

The benefits of massage:

• Stretches superficial tissue.
• Assists lymphatic and venous flow.
• Helps to break up and loosen subcutaneous tissue adhesions.
