What Are the Benefits of Massage Therapy? 

Massage therapy can cause an overall sensation of relaxation, causing the heartbeat and breathing rates to slow while the blood flow increases. Massage therapy can also help reduce blood pressure and stress hormones while helping muscles relax. Typical benefits of massage therapy include reduced lower back pain, enhanced quality of life, and minimized headaches. Some patients have also experienced improved mental health, decreased anxiety, and lower stress levels.

How Long Does Massage Therapy Last? 

Each massage therapy session can last between 30 and 90 minutes, depending on the type of massage we believe would be most beneficial for the injury you are trying to recovery from or condition you are trying to manage.

Speak with a massage therapist or chiropractor in Tacoma, WA, on our team to learn more about which massage session and length is best for your chiropractic care needs.

Is It a Good Idea to Get Both Chiropractic Care and Massage Therapy?

It can help to get both chiropractic care and massage therapy. Chiropractic adjustments and massage can complement each other, and both can help you recover from an injury or get pain management.
