Therapeutic Massage Therapy works to improve an individual’s health and well-being through hands-on manipulation of muscles and other soft tissues. Massage Therapy is helpful for soft tissue conditions, particularly when in conjunction with other modalities such as Chiropractic or Physical Therapy to help heal the body and provide other healthy benefits such as:
- Stress relief
- Improved posture
- Improved circulation
- Pain management
- Muscle relaxation
- Improved flexibility and range of motion
- Tension headache relief
- Improved rehabilitation after injury
