The Benefits of Chiropractic working with Massage by Dr. Jim Massage Port Melbourne

The Benefits of Massage Therapy with Chiropractic Care

Massage is often recommended along with chiropractic treatment, either before or after and adjustment, as part of a longer treatment regimen. This combination of treatments often produces more effective results, and faster healing in the patient. One of the reasons for this to be true is that both massage and chiropractic care share a similar goal – helping to achieve a state of total well being, not simply relief from the immediate symptom.

Our spines are surrounded and connected to soft tissue, muscle to tendons that control the movement and flexibility of the spine that may either cause or exacerbate a structural problem. Tight, weak, or over stretched muscles  and ligaments can prolong spinal problems and postpone healing. Massage therapy is helpful in relieving these kind of soft tissue problems. In simple terms chiropractors work with bones and joints, and massage therapists work with muscle. But as treatments, they are both compatible and complementary.

Massage can be performed as preparation for chiropractic adjustment because it relieves the muscle tension that may be pulling joints out of alignment and make it easier to move back into place. Massage is also relaxing, and a relaxed body is easier for the chiropractor to work with. In addition, as a chiropractor corrects the structural problems that are causing or limiting your mobility, massage can compliment the healing process by stretching and relaxing muscles that have been aggravated by these structural problems, making it easier for you to stretch and exercise, and thus more quickly achieve a state of well being.

Services

Remedial Massage

Incorporates several specialised massage techniques to locate and help ease muscle stiffness and tension in the body. Firm, remedial massage is the best treatment for freeing up adhesions (little knots) in muscles, stretching out strained / tightened muscles and just giving your body a “wake-up” call for the rest of the week.

Relaxation Massage

A full body massage with lots of sweeping and gliding techniques from the head to the feet.

Trigger Point Therapy

The therapist locates and deactivates trigger points, which are often wound-up muscles that have been damaged or are kinked. The major goals are to reduce spasm, inducing new blood flow into the affected area.

Sports Deep Tissue Therapy

A highly effective treatment for clients in running clubs, that visit the gym regularly or compete in sports teams. Vigorous rubbing techniques are used to warm up muscle tissue. Long, deep strokes – through large muscle groups such as the quads and gluteals – can help eliminate toxins and lactic acid from the body.

Dry Needling

The practice of dry needling is a common technique in manual physical therapy. It involves inserting 3 to 5cm needles into “trigger points” and is typically used for pain associated with injuries.
