Our massage therapists have a minimum of five years of work experience. Each therapist is individually screened and tested to ensure a high level of competence.
We work with massage therapists that love what they do and have a high level of skill. We place value on those massage therapists that, beyond the Swedish and Deep Tissue massage taught in massage school, continue to acquire additional training or Certifications in the following:
- Craniosacral Therapy
- Myofascial Release
- Trigger Point therapy
- Sports Therapy
- Medical Massage
- Orthopedics
- Pre / Post Natal
** Very important ** We teach all our therapists to be conscious of energy hygiene.
An example of a therapist’s non-energy mindset, is when afterwards the client may be left feeling tired, acquires new pains or spasms, feels nausea, develops a headache, or is experiencing a feeling of being drained. These are outcomes that seldom happen in our office. Our goal is pain relief, spasm release, rejuvenation and relaxation. Without negative side effects.
Our massage therapists have a great bedside manner. Massage Therapy is provided in a professional setting within a Chiropractic Office.
Orthopedic Massage
Orthopedic medical doctors often prescribe massages after surgery and other musculoskeletal procedures. Swelling and scar tissue build up after an invasive procedure can benefit greatly with a focused orthopedic massage.
Inflammatory conditions such as tendonitis and bursitis can also improve, with the goal being a decrease in swelling, diminished pain, increase in range of motion (ROM) and an improvement in overall myofascial function.
Orthopedic massage involves proper assessment and often a comprehensive treatment approach, which may include joint mobilization, manual therapy, and myofascial release components.
Joint Mobilization is a therapeutic manual therapy technique (hands of the therapist are applied to the specific joint of the body) which concentrates in effort of bringing pain relief, increased ROM, improved stability and improved movement of a particular joint. Such as shoulder, elbow, wrist, hip, knee, or ankle. It can also be qualified as working with the individual joints of the spine with a qualified spine specialist such as a Chiropractor. All joint mobilization techniques are intended to improve and ease joint movement.
Manual therapy are all techniques of hands-on work applied by a therapist as it pertains to the human body via a therapeutic touch. Manual therapy is also sometimes called Manipulation. You literally, with the hands, through a skillful placement of the hands, intending a positive therapeutic outcome for restricted fascia and tissue move, stretch, compress, vibrate, release and massage the patients area of complaint to bring about relief.
Myofascial release is a manual hands-on technique that focuses on releasing – freeing tight, contracted, shortened myofascial structures of the musculoskeletal system, including fascia enveloping muscles. It is most commonly used to treat neck and back pain as well as any part of the musculoskeletal system, including the torso and limbs.
From an orthopedic chiropractic perspective, all three; joint mobilization, manual therapy and myofascial, release can be incorporated into a therapeutic session to achieve a pain free outcome. There is more than one technique of each modality depending on the education of the therapist. For example, a massage therapist, a physical therapist, a chiropractor may all have different approaches and call it manual therapy, trigger point therapy or myofascial release.
Here in our office, we are less concerned about semantics and more concerned about providing proper techniques that result in the best possible therapeutic outcome for you.
