Therapeutic Massage

Therapeutic massage is designed to alleviate pain, reduce stress, and improve overall health. At Scott Chiropractic, we take a customized approach to therapeutic massage, ensuring that each session is tailored to your specific health concerns. Whether you are dealing with chronic pain, muscle tension, or stress-related issues, therapeutic massage can help.

Therapeutic massage focuses on treating the body as a whole, working on muscles, ligaments, tendons, and other soft tissues to relieve tension and improve circulation. By enhancing blood flow, therapeutic massage helps promote the body’s natural healing processes, making it an excellent complement to chiropractic care.

Some benefits of therapeutic massage include:

• Pain relief from injuries or chronic conditions
• Improved mobility and flexibility
• Enhanced relaxation and stress reduction
• Better sleep quality
• Increased circulation and lymphatic flow

Post-Trauma Injury Massage

If you’ve suffered from an accident, sports injury, or any other type of physical trauma, post-trauma injury massage may be essential for your recovery. Post-trauma massage is specifically designed to address the injuries and muscle imbalances that occur after traumatic events. It helps to reduce inflammation, alleviate pain, and accelerate healing.

Our therapists use specialized techniques to carefully target the affected areas without causing further discomfort. These techniques help reduce scar tissue formation, improve range of motion, and prevent further injury. Post-trauma injury massage is especially beneficial when combined with chiropractic adjustments, which help realign the body and promote healing.

The key benefits of post-trauma injury massage include:

• Faster recovery time
• Reduced inflammation and swelling
• Decreased muscle stiffness and pain
• Improved circulation and lymphatic drainage
• Reduced risk of developing chronic pain

Swedish Massage

Swedish massage is one of the most popular and well-known forms of massage therapy. This type of massage is characterized by long, gliding strokes, kneading, and gentle manipulations of the muscles and soft tissues. It is ideal for individuals seeking relaxation and relief from everyday stress.

Swedish massage promotes overall relaxation by reducing tension in the muscles, increasing blood flow, and promoting the release of endorphins – the body’s natural “feel-good” chemicals. This type of massage is gentle yet effective, making it suitable for people of all ages and physical conditions.

Benefits of Swedish massage include:

• General relaxation and stress relief
• Improved circulation and oxygen flow to the muscles
• Enhanced flexibility and muscle tone
• Relief from muscle tension and soreness
• Better mental clarity and focus

Deep Tissue Massage

Deep tissue massage is a more intensive form of massage that focuses on the deeper layers of muscles and connective tissues. It is especially beneficial for individuals suffering from chronic pain, muscle knots, or injuries that affect the deeper structures of the body. Our therapists at Scott Chiropractic use slow, deep pressure to target specific muscle groups, working to break down adhesions and release chronic muscle tension.

This type of massage is particularly useful for people who engage in strenuous physical activity or have muscle imbalances due to poor posture, repetitive stress, or injury. Deep tissue massage may cause some discomfort during the session, but it is highly effective in providing long-lasting relief from pain and tension.

Some key benefits of deep tissue massage include:

• Relief from chronic pain, particularly in the neck, back, and shoulders
• Improved range of motion and flexibility
• Release of deep muscle tension and knots
• Better posture and alignment
• Enhanced recovery from injuries

Prenatal Massage

Pregnancy can place significant strain on a woman’s body, leading to discomfort, swelling, and muscle tension. Prenatal massage is specifically designed to address the unique needs of expectant mothers, providing relief from common pregnancy-related discomforts while promoting relaxation and well-being.

Our prenatal massage therapists are specially trained to provide gentle, safe, and effective massage techniques for pregnant women. We focus on relieving the tension in areas such as the lower back, hips, and legs while helping to reduce swelling and improve circulation. Prenatal massage is also beneficial for reducing stress and promoting better sleep during pregnancy.

Benefits of prenatal massage include:

• Relief from back pain, hip discomfort, and joint pain
• Reduced swelling in the legs and feet
• Improved circulation and lymphatic flow
• Enhanced relaxation and stress reduction
• Better sleep and improved mood

Sports Massage

Sports massage is an excellent choice for athletes or individuals who engage in regular physical activity. It is specifically designed to help prevent injuries, improve performance, and promote faster recovery from intense exercise. Our therapists use a combination of deep tissue techniques, stretching, and joint mobilization to target the specific muscle groups that are most affected by your sport or activity.

Whether you’re preparing for a competition or recovering from a tough workout, sports massage can help you stay at the top of your game. It helps to reduce muscle soreness, improve flexibility, and enhance your range of motion, all of which are essential for optimal athletic performance.

Key benefits of sports massage include:

• Faster recovery from workouts or injuries
• Improved muscle flexibility and range of motion
• Enhanced athletic performance
• Prevention of injuries and muscle imbalances
• Relief from muscle soreness and stiffness

Trigger Point Therapy

Trigger point therapy focuses on relieving specific areas of muscle tightness known as “trigger points.” These are small, tight knots in the muscle that can cause pain, discomfort, and limited mobility. Trigger points often form as a result of overuse, stress, injury, or poor posture.

Our therapists use targeted pressure and manipulation to release these knots and alleviate pain. By releasing trigger points, this type of therapy can help reduce referred pain (pain that radiates to other areas of the body) and improve overall muscle function. Trigger point therapy is often incorporated into other massage techniques to address specific areas of concern.

Benefits of trigger point therapy include:

• Relief from localized and referred pain
• Improved muscle flexibility and function
• Reduced muscle tension and stiffness
• Better posture and alignment
• Enhanced range of motion

 Structural Integration

Structural integration is a unique form of bodywork that focuses on aligning the body’s structure and improving its overall function. This technique is based on the idea that poor posture, stress, and injuries can cause the body’s connective tissues (fascia) to become misaligned and restricted.

At Scott Chiropractic, our therapists use a combination of deep tissue manipulation, myofascial release, and movement education to help realign the body and restore balance. Structural integration is particularly effective for individuals dealing with chronic pain, postural imbalances, and movement restrictions.

Key benefits of structural integration include:

• Improved posture and alignment
• Relief from chronic pain and discomfort
• Increased range of motion and flexibility
• Enhanced body awareness and movement efficiency
• Reduced muscle tension and stiffness
