When
muscles are overworked, waste products
such as lactic acid can accumulate
in the muscle, causing soreness, stiffness,
and even muscle spasm. Massage improves
circulation, which increases blood
flow, bringing fresh oxygen to body
tissues. This can assist the elimination
of waste products, speed healing after
injury and enhance recovery from disease.
Therapeutic
massage can be used to promote general
well-being and enhance self-esteem,
while boosting the circulatory and
immune systems to benefit blood pressure,
circulation, muscle tone, digestion
and skin tone. It has been incorporated
into many health systems, and different
massage techniques have been developed
and integrated into various complementary
therapies.
Massage
therapy is the systematized manipulation
of soft tissues for the purpose of
normalizing them. The basic goal of
massage therapy is to help the body
heal itself and to increase health
and well-being.
Chiropractic
West massage practitioners use a variety
of physical methods during massage
treatments, including applying fixed
or movable pressure, holding or causing
movement to the body. Our therapists
primarily use their hands, but may
also use their forearms or elbows.
Deep tissue and sports massage are
also available from Chiropractic West
specialists.
