Understanding The Injury
Do you wake up feeling stiff and achy? Is it hard for you to bend over or sit on the floor? Do you have random pains or soreness?
Massage therapy may be the answer. Massage therapists work with soft and deep tissue. This means that all of the tender parts of your muscles are gently soothed by careful massage. Our experts know the right pressure points and processes to work the knots out of your joints and muscles, leaving you feeling relaxed and pain-free.
Did you know that insurance often covers the cost of massage therapies? All of our massage therapists are licensed in the State of Tennessee. We offer the highest standards of care to contribute to your optimal comfort and recovery.
Our Massage Therapy Services
Benefits of Massage Therapy
▼When you get a massage, it increases the oxygen and nutrients to your muscles. This can release waste from muscle tissue and accelerate healing. After intense exercise, your muscles can sustain small tears. Massage therapy aid in the recovery of these microscopic tears.
Our patients choose massage therapy along with regular chiropractic care for medical or stress-related reasons. According to the Mayo Clinic, massage therapy can address conditions like:
- Myofascial pain
- Stress-related insomnia
- Injuries from sports
- Joint pain
- Headaches
- Fibromyalgia
- Digestive issues
- Anxiety
Deep Tissue Massage
▼Deep tissue massage is highly therapeutic and has many benefits. Expert massage therapists know how to work at every layer of your muscle tissue by relaxing, lengthening and releasing your body parts within a level that is comfortable for you.
Similar in style to a Swedish massage, deep tissue massage works the muscle tissues and fascia (which is a layer around the muscles and joints).
Sports Massage
▼Do you work hard and play hard? Whether you play sports recreationally or even professionally, we are qualified to assist you with sports massage.
Regular massage is utilized by all of the top athletes, who recognize its outstanding benefits in recovery and performance.
