Types Of Massage Offered
Therapeutic Massage
Therapeutic Massage incorporates a variety of advanced modalities in order to enhance the body’s functioning naturally. Light to firm pressure is used to ease tension, calm muscles, increase blood and lymph circulation, and give a sense of calm. Therapeutic Massage can be used on its own, or as an addition to Chiropractic Care or conventional medical treatment of illness and injury, alleviating pain and stress, aiding soft tissue healing, and revitalizing the body. Regular massage enhances health, offers a great method of relaxation, releases muscle tightness, and has been shown to reduce anxiety and stress.
Prenatal Massage
Did you know that Massage Therapy is the most recommended alternative therapy for pregnant women? Well it’s for good reason! Research has shown that Massage Therapy is an effective form of helping with: depression, anxiety, leg and back pain and more. Women who also received regular massage during their pregnancy had significantly less labor pain, and, on average, three hours shorter labor time, and had less of a need for medication. Prenatal Massage therapy not only relaxes and eases your pain but has been shown to reduce cortisol levels, and women with depression have a much lower incidence of premature and low birthweight babies.
Auto Accident Massage
Whiplash traumas are very painful soft tissue injuries that occur in most motor vehicles, and some other accidents. The tissue of the neck and back gets quickly whipped back and forth causing excessive force and strain on the muscles and ligaments of the body. This sets Massage Therapy up as a key cog in the wheel to ensuring a full recovery from a car accident or whiplash trauma. Massage Therapy offers a lot of the same benefits as Therapeutic Massage, however more precautions are often necessary. If the injury is too severe or is very inflamed, waiting to seek out Massage Therapy may be necessary. The best way to make sure is to get evaluated by a Chiropractor or Medical Doctor for diagnosis and recommendations. Learn More
