Who Needs Massage Therapy?
At Bonita Chiropractic Center we believe everyone can benefit from massage therapy. It is the utilization of many techniques to activate the relaxation mechanisms within each muscle and tendon to transform these tissues by increasing circulation and healing. It also mobilizes dense scar tissue that forms after repeated stress, strain or acute injuries. Breaking up this scar tissue allows for freer motion, so joints aren’t locked into suboptimal, dysfunctional positions.
How Does Massage Therapy Complement Chiropractic?
Massage and chiropractic work well together because whenever a joint is not moving as it should, the soft tissues that are part of that joint complex are affected. In order for the chiropractic adjustment to make lasting changes to the alignment and mobility of the joint, the damaged ligaments and muscles must also be corrected through massage therapy.
For athletes, keeping the tissues mobile is of paramount importance. By loosening up the muscles and ligaments through massage, you are able to stretch more effectively, which keeps the body more fluid and helps reduce the risk of injury.
