How Can Massage Therapy Help Me?
Many people think of massage therapy as a relaxing spa treatment, not a therapeutic option for injury rehabilitation or the treatment of chronic medical conditions. In fact, massage therapy is not only relaxing and restorative, but it also can aid in soft tissue healing and muscle relaxation, accelerate healing from repetitive stress and overuse injuries, and treat chronic conditions like joint pain and arthritis.
At Chapman Health Group, Dr. Todd Chapman and our massage therapist, Jessie Miller, work together to create the optimal recovery program to rehabilitate injuries, relieve symptoms, and restore your mental and physical health. Learn more about how massage therapy in Leesburg, FL, can help you.
Accelerate Healing of Injuries and Prevent Re-Injury
If you have a chronic injury, you can reduce pain and other symptoms by fully rehabilitating your injury before you return to your normal daily routine. When we incorporate massage therapy and therapeutic exercise into your injury rehabilitation plan, we can improve your core strength and spinal alignment so that it’s easier to get back to your routine and you’re less likely to experience a re-injury.
Improve Flexibility, Range of Motion, and Mobility
Because massage therapy eases sore muscles, improves muscle tone and strength, and lengthens muscles and tendons, it also can improve your flexibility, range of motion, and mobility. If you have joint stiffness or inflammation due to arthritis or have aches and pains due to aging, past injuries, a medical condition, or your work duties, massage therapy can offer relief and make it easier for you to get up and around.
Enhance Physical and Mental Health
Massage therapy is relaxing and stimulates the release of endorphins, which promote a sense of peace, calm, and well-being. Regular massage treatments can ease tension and anxiety, reduce recurrence of headaches and migraines, and make it easier to sleep. You might also find relief from conditions like depression, fatigue, and mood swings.
Increase the Efficacy of Other Chiropractic Therapies
Incorporating massage therapy into your chiropractic care plan can make other chiropractic therapies more effective. Getting a massage before you get a chiropractic adjustment can relax your body and muscles so they are more receptive to chiropractic care. Getting a massage after a chiropractic adjustment can relieve tension, improve the results of your treatment, and restore your energy and focus. Massage therapy can also improve the results of spinal decompression, therapeutic exercise, cryotherapy, heat therapy, and electrical muscle stimulation.
