What does a massage therapist do?
At Helix Physical Therapy & Chiropractic, our massage therapists are trained professionals who use hands-on techniques to manipulate the soft tissues and muscles of the body. Massage therapy is a holistic health practice that can help alleviate pain, reduce stress, and improve overall wellness.
We treat patients of all ages with a wide range of conditions, including chronic pain, sports injuries, stress-related tension, and postural imbalances. Our therapists use techniques such as Swedish massage, deep tissue massage, trigger point therapy, and myofascial release to address specific areas of pain or tension and promote relaxation and healing.
Our therapists will typically ask about the patient’s health history and any current symptoms or concerns during a massage therapy session. They will then develop a personalized treatment plan based on the patient’s needs and preferences. They may use various techniques to address specific areas of the body.
Massage therapy at Helix Physical Therapy & Chiropractic also complements traditional medical treatments, such as physical therapy, acupuncture, or chiropractic care. Many patients find regular massage therapy sessions can help them manage chronic pain or stress and promote overall well-being.
