Massage therapy is a comprehensive intervention involving a range of techniques to manipulate the soft tissues and joints of the body with the purpose of giving a therapeutic effect.
Massage therapist can provide a wide range of benefits from helping with painful injuries to providing preventive wellness care.
How does chiropractic and massage therapy work together?
Muscles attach to the bones of the spine and help move joints. Ligaments and fascia help support the spine.
