Our Massage Philosophy
Massage is the oldest form of physical medication, this specific form is more than just a relaxation technique. Our trained professionals' find and release the tension in needed areas of the body. The process involves manipulation of the soft tissues of the body; including muscles, ligaments, joints and tendons.
Remedial massage therapy begins with us finding any problems or inconsistencies around your body and then working through those areas for relief. By using different techniques at ChiroCure, we seek to provide you with relaxation and pain relief, as well as finding and treating the original cause of the pain and discomfort to avoid future issues.
What is remedial massage therapy?
|
The process of remedial massage uses pressure and stretching to break up fibrous tissue and loosen stiff joints. Patients find that often this reaction by one part of the body often affects other areas due to the ability for the nerve system to communicate. The different techniques naturally progress and support your body’s ability to repair itself.
|
In a relaxing and quiet environment, our massage therapists, commonly uses massage oil to create comfort and allow for easier movement across the skin. Patients have reported great improvement after single treatments and tend to find their chiropractic treatments significantly more effective after a massage.
Other reported effects include lowered blood pressure and heightened general well-being. Any person at any age in any physical state can be adjusted and treated with remedial massage therapy. |
The benefits of remedial massage therapy> Stimulation of blood circulation allowing toxins in the muscles to be removed.
> Increased blood supply to your muscles. > Relaxing muscles to provide comfort and joint mobility. > Improved healing rate of the body’s injuries. > Increased levels of serotonin / dopamine that help reduce stress and fatigue in the body and spine. 
|
How long are treatment sessions?Remedial massage appointments are generally 45 - 90 minutes, depending on patient needs; for example specific area or specific muscle release may require less time, or more sessions, where a full body massage and a condition specific massage are very different in required time and amount of sessions.
We believe in individual patient management, and do not have set treatment plans in place. It is always best to you ask your practitioner what they recommend for you specifically, especially after your first treatment visit, in regards to suggested length of appointments required for your condition and body.
