What are the Benefits of Massage Therapy?

Massage therapy is becoming increasingly popular for people looking for natural ways to relieve stress, reduce pain, and increase their overall health. Massage has been used for centuries to relax muscles, reduce tension, improve circulation, and help the body heal from injury or illness. It also helps reduce inflammation and encourages the release of endorphins, the body’s natural feel-good chemicals, to reduce pain levels. Regular massage sessions can also improve posture by loosening tight muscles that cause misalignment in the spine or other joints. Many also seek massage therapy for back pain relief and combine it with treatment from a chiropractor. 

What are the Different Types of Massage?

Each type of massage has its unique benefits, depending on the needs of the individual.

Swedish massage is one of the more common therapies offered at Lang Chiropractic. This style works to boost circulation, reduce stress and tension in muscles, and improve flexibility. Deep tissue massage uses slower strokes with deeper pressure to target tense areas in the body, such as muscle knots or injured muscles. Trigger point therapy focuses on relieving pain caused by trigger points– specific points located throughout your body that can cause pain when compressed or stimulated.

Shiatsu massage therapy is based on yoga and acupressure. It combines deep stretches with finger pressure to target areas that need extra attention, such as your back or feet. This type of massage can help with circulation, reduce stress, ease muscle tension and help you relax.

Does Massage Therapy Hurt?

Massages feel good. However, it could be a bit uncomfortable if you are new to it or have painful areas. However, our experts at Lang Chiropractic can help you with pain management and make your massage comfortable.

How Long are Massage Therapy Sessions?

You can expect to spend about an hour in a massage therapy session. Many of our patients schedule monthly massages or more frequently, depending on their condition.
