Massage Therapy: Relaxation and Recovery
Ways to Complement Your Heatlh with Massage Therapy
Your muscles and tendons can get tight and sore from repeated use or from simply sitting, driving or hunching over your computer.
Soft tissue massage helps to break up any acute tightness and deeper tissue massage can break up chronic adhesions. Both allow your muscles and tendons to release tension and lactic acid.
Massage therapy compliments chiropractic care in that it helps to maintain spinal alignment, thereby improving nervous system functioning.
Whether you want to just relax or recover from exercise or a sports induced injury we have the right massage techniques for you.
