Why Get Massage Therapy in Aloha?

Massage can be a complementary treatment for chiropractic care, as it helps relieve pain, tightness, and soreness in your muscles. This makes chiropractic application easier and more effective because it allows your treatment provider to adjust your body as needed. This also provides many benefits that stand-alone treatments may not be able to achieve:

  • Relief for soft tissue – Pressure helps relieve tight or overstretched soft tissues and ligaments, prolonging healing and discomfort.

  • Enhanced mobility and range of motion – Structural problems or injuries that limit your mobility or range of motion may be addressed with the help of massage therapy in Aloha.

  • Better blood circulation – Massage, together with chiropractic care, enhances blood circulation in congested areas and relieves pressure on nerves due to musculoskeletal misalignment.

  • Immediate healing – We recommend massage therapy in Aloha as a preparatory procedure for chiropractic adjustments. As massage warms up the soft tissues and muscles, it becomes easier to realign the joints. This can help speed up your recovery and make you feel more relaxed before, during, and after an adjustment.

Types of Massage Available

Our massage therapist in the Aloha/Beaverton area offers a variety and uses the latest treatments and techniques to target and relieve pain. The most common ones we use include:

  • Trigger point – targets “trigger points”, or areas within your muscle tissue that can lead to pain in other parts of your body with a goal to relieve the source of pain. It’s effective at decreasing pain immediately, and managing chronic pain over time.

  • Deep tissue – slow, deliberate movements with deep pressure to target chronic muscle tension. This can be uncomfortable for some people, so discuss the right level of pressure with your therapist.

  • Swedish – more traditional massage, designed to help you relax with long, gliding strokes that return blood flow to the heart, increase oxygen levels in the blood to flush out toxins, and improve circulation.

  • Sports massage – geared toward the specific needs of athletes who push their bodies during training and competition. The area(s) of focus depend on your sport, and are designed to alleviate stress or injury from repetitive or aggressive movements and high strain.
