As part of Oakridge Chiropractic’s multi-disciplinary approach to getting your body functioning at its best, our clinic has several fully qualified, registered and experienced massage therapists on staff who offer a full range of massage techniques to their patients.
Massage therapy is the art of systematic and scientific manipulations of the soft tissue of the body. It has been practiced therapeutically around the world for centuries, and today, it’s a form of natural therapy for the wear and tear of daily living; helping with stress, injuries, relaxation and general well-being. Because massage benefits every system of the body (including our nervous, muscular and immune systems), it can help with a range of different health problems.
Massage therapy ranges from a deep tissue, therapeutic massage to a light relaxation massage. All kinds of massage are effective in releasing muscle tension and stress. There are also a range of massage techniques, allowing for a customized approach to patients’ individual needs and preferences. Massage works especially well in conjunction with chiropractic adjustments. Many patients see a massage therapist for weekly or monthly maintenance visits to maintain the benefits.
