Massage

Massage therapy is a form of manual therapy that targets the soft tissues of the body. This includes muscles, tendons, ligaments and fascia. Massage therapy is often a standalone treatment. But sometimes, it is a part of a larger treatment plan. Our clinic provides massage therapy as an integral part of treatment for both osteopathy and chiropractic care. Both massage therapy and chiropractic/osteopathic care aim to improve musculoskeletal function. They can often produce better results when used hand-in-hand. Massage therapy can improve the effectiveness of chiropractic adjustments by reducing muscle tension.

At our clinic, we strive to address any musculoskeletal injuries that you may have. Musculoskeletal injuries often have a muscular component and a skeletal component. The best approach to treatment and recovery requires addressing both these components. Chiropractic and osteopathic care aims to improve joint alignment and mobility by manipulating joints. Massage therapy aims to reduce tension and improve circulation by manipulating soft tissue. A combination of both modalities can be very effective at treating musculoskeletal injuries.

Our chiropractors and osteopaths receive extensive training in musculoskeletal anatomy, physiology, and biomechanics. This includes training in manual therapy techniques such as massage. Chiropractors do not specialize in massage therapy. But chiropractors are often trained to provide therapeutic massages as part of treatment. Our chiropractors and osteopaths have all done extensive massage training. We aim to provide a comprehensive and effective approach to pain management and wellness. And we do this by addressing both the skeletal and soft tissue components of musculoskeletal conditions.

As part of our approach to complete care, we also have an in-house massage therapist. Who is available for remedial and relaxation massage.
