What is Massage Therapy?
Referred to as “bodywork,” massage therapy involves applying pressure techniques to the body’s muscle structures and soft tissue. The therapist delivers these techniques through fixed or movable pressure, friction, kneading, and compression using their hands or forearms. Massage therapy yields positive results and improvement by targeting soft tissues such as muscles, tendons, and the circulatory system, such as the lymphatic system.
It enhances the care received through precise chiropractic adjustments and functional rehabilitative exercises. Just like chiropractic care, our massage therapy also has specific goals. Our highly trained and experienced massage therapist will work with you to provide extended focused care on a specific soft tissue injury or dysfunction, overall stress reduction and well-being, or maintenance of your current health status. Therefore, based on your goals, we offer the precise care you need.
Massage therapy has many benefits, including:
- Reducing muscle tension and soreness: Massage therapy can reduce muscle pain and tension by promoting increased blood flow to the affected area and inducing relaxation of the muscles.
- Improving flexibility and range of motion: Regular massage therapy sessions can help to improve flexibility and range of motion, which can be especially helpful for athletes or individuals recovering from injuries.
- Reducing stress and anxiety: Massage therapy is a great way to promote relaxation and reduce stress and anxiety. It can help to lower cortisol levels in the body and promote feelings of calm and well-being.
- Enhancing immune system function: Research has indicated that consistent massage therapy sessions may enhance the immune system by stimulating the production of natural killer cells and other vital immune cells.
- Improving sleep quality: Massage therapy can enhance sleep quality by inducing relaxation and reducing stress levels, making it particularly beneficial for those who experience insomnia or other sleep disorders.
Massage Therapy FAQs
Who needs massage therapy?
Massage therapy is needed by anyone who has experienced stress, injury, or overuse of their body to the soft tissue structures. Our muscles and tendons move our body as well as hold the trauma within that same tissue. Our massage therapists help to alleviate and resolve the small micro trauma that is so prevalent in today’s world.
How does a massage treatment help with chiropractic care?
At our office serving Crofton, Bowie, and Odenton, we actively sought quality massage therapists to compliment our care. Trauma and daily life take a toll on your spine and nervous system. Receiving the same high-quality, experienced care to the muscles that support the spine and limbs accelerates healing, helps to prevent relapse and enhances patient satisfaction along the way. The real question is, why would we not include massage therapy?!
Can I only schedule an appointment with the massage therapist?
Yes. This service can stand alone if that is your preference. We are here to help you achieve your goals. We schedule many appointments that are simply for massage therapy services.
How is our office different than the national chain companies?
Our therapists have many years of experience, are continually raising their skill level through conferences and educational opportunities, know you individually as a client, and we do not promote membership environments. Our treatments are tailored for you, emphasize quality, and strive for noticeable results.
