Massage Therapy
Our office
offers massage therapy for our patients in a calm professional environment.
Massage is one of the oldest, simplest forms of therapy and is a system of
stroking, pressing and kneading different areas of the body to relieve pain,
relax, stimulate, and tone the body. Massage does much more than create a
pleasant sensation on the skin, it also works on the soft tissues (the
muscles, tendons, and ligaments) to improve muscle tone.
Although it largely affects those muscles just under the skin, its benefits
may also reach the deeper layers of muscle and possibly even the organs
themselves. Massage also stimulates blood circulation and assists the
lymphatic system (which runs parallel to the circulatory system), improving
the elimination of waste throughout the body. Massage is used in conjunction
with chiropractic to make a healthier you!
Why Massage Therapy?
Massage therapy is the assessment and treatment of the soft tissues and
joints of the body by hands-on manipulation.
Massage can be defined as the manipulation of the soft tissues of the body
for therapeutic purposes. It uses a system of strokes that include gliding,
kneading, friction, pressure, tapping and vibrating. In addition, massage
therapists may engage in active and passive movements of the joints, use
auxiliary mechanical devices, apply heat and cold in various forms, and
instruct clients on exercises to achieve improved muscle tone circulation,
and range of motion.
An excellent form of preventive health
care:
Massage therapy melts away stress and tension, relieving associated
headaches and muscular aches and pains. Massage therapy aids in the healing
process from injury or over-use, and is an excellent form of preventive
health care. Its purpose is to develop, maintain, rehabilitate or augment
physical function and relieve pain. Massage therapy modalities include
hydrotherapy, remedial exercise, myofasical and trigger point therapy.
Massage therapy compliments chiropractic care perfectly.
