Massage Therapy, Not Just a Luxury

Most people think of massages for the purpose of unwinding, relaxing, or as a way to pamper you.  Maybe you would consider a massage while away on a nice vacation at a tropical resort, or even on that cruise ship to that favorite beach destination.  Either way, massages seem to be thought of as a luxury, a time of pleasure…something that is done once in awhile...maybe even somewhere locally, for a birthday or anniversary.  Who doesn’t deserve to have every muscle in their body relieved of every ounce of stress, right?

 Ideally, you would want to be stress free as much as possible, right?  Well, those aches and pains you feel in your back and neck are your body’s way of telling you that it wants to be stress free, too.  As more and more awareness comes to light regarding the significant impact massage therapy has on people, the more understanding we gain, as a whole, to the benefits of massage therapy.

 Massage therapy can provide significantly more benefits to you, your body, and your stress level once you understand what it is really about.  Therapeutic massage is one step in a process that can transform you, your aches and pains, to a stress free, better you.  The approach is very simple.  The goal is to enhance your chiropractic visits with massages to get your body through the acute phase, into the correction phase, and finally to the third phase of the program, which is wellness.
