Preventative medicine is a total wellness approach that includes nutrition, exercise, massage therapy, and chiropractic care. Having a chiropractic assessment and manual massage at least once per month prevents pain and injury, and relieves stress.
If stress is not relieved, then it will reverse the effects of a good diet and exercise program. Deep tissue massage treats the stiffness that you have forgotten exists because you have been carrying it around for so long. It is for these reasons that chiropractic should be a part of any preventative program.
Therapeutic Massage is massage which is offered with the goal of obtaining a therapeutic benefit.
Massage therapy is also considered an integral part of a healthy lifestyle. Doctors are prescribing massage therapy sessions for their patients and insurance companies are footing the bills.
Hands on chiropractic massage therapy is the rubbing and manipulating of the muscles and soft tissue. When your muscles are too tight, they put your bones out of alignment. Chiropractic massage therapy aims to relax the patient and restore balance in the musculoskeletal system. People who perform repetitive activities or live with a lot of stress and tension, will frequently have vertebrae out of alignment.
