What conditions respond to massage therapy?

Massage therapy can be used as a treatment for general muscular tension or in conjunction with other injuries of the musculoskeletal system.

What would my first massage visit be like?

On your first visit, your therapist will determine with you the kind of techniques and treatment plan that suits your clinical needs. Existing patients of the Clinic will have their massage treatments coordinated between their doctor and massage therapist.

Depending on the areas of the body being treated, you will be advised on the amount of exposure the therapist needs to provide the most effective treatment. Your modesty will be respected at all times and only the treated area will be exposed.

Your massage will move from light to deeper pressure within your comfort range. Any initial discomfort will gradually be replaced by a more relaxed feeling. Communication is a key factor in the effectiveness of a massage session. The massage therapist will always try to accommodate you in terms comfort and warmth.

When the massage is finished the feeling of deep relaxation will lead to improved energy and vitality. Your massage therapist can also recommend ways to prolong the benefits of your treatment and suggest the frequency of follow-up visits.

Can I see my chiropractor and massage therapist on the same visit?

Yes. In fact, most chiropractic patients often prefer to combine their spinal adjustments with a massage session. Coordinated chiropractic, massage and exercise therapy is also recommended where serious injuries have occurred, for example, following a motor vehicle accident.
