Types of massage therapy We Use

Deep Tissue Massage: This massage relieves muscle tension and chronic pain. The massage therapist will focus on stroking in the opposite direction of the muscle grain. This is quite efficient at helping patients who suffer from chronic issues like back pain or neck pain. This type of massage is one of the more firm types of massage because it is focused on reaching the deeper muscle and tendons in an effort to achieve long term pain relief.

Swedish Massage: Swedish massage is the opposite of deep tissue massage. The therapist will stroke following the same direction as the muscle grain goes, rather than the opposite direction. This type of massage is performed with a softer touch. It is generally best for people who are looking for relaxation or general wellness massage.

Neuromuscular Massage: Neuromuscular massage is also called “Trigger Point” massage. Its focus is on reaching the trigger points of muscles. In some cases, pain could spread through an entire muscle, moving from the trigger point to other areas.

The massage therapist will use smooth massage strokes to seek out the trigger points. Then when the trigger point is discovered, the therapist will continuously apply pressure to this area for up to 30 seconds. This process of pressure and release will continue until all the pain has been released from the muscle. This type of massage can be very effective for people with back pain and neck pain resulting from a car accident injury or sports injury.

Prenatal Massage: An excellent addition to prenatal care is massage therapy. This is a natural way to minimize stress and improve your health. Some typical discomforts during pregnancy include back pain, leg cramps, headaches, stiff neck, and swelling.

Complementing Chiropractic Care for Optimal Wellness

Massage therapy at our offices can be an integral part of the healing process.

Dr. Henry may recommend massage as a complement to regular chiropractic care for any patient dealing with pain, mobility issues, or who wants improved total wellness.

Massage helps stretch the muscles, tendons, and ligaments in the body. This helps relieve the pain of knotted or seized up muscles.

Regular massages can also help reduce muscle inflammation and stop muscle spasms. Making it much easier to regain a full range of motion if a patient has been injured.

Massages can also be used as a therapy for people who need to improve their energy levels. Also for people who need relaxation since they can stimulate or calm the nervous system.
