What Is Massage Therapy?

In its most general definition, massage therapy is the physical manipulation of soft tissues to treat discomfort or injury. This healing modality is sometimes confused with the relaxing massage available in deluxe spas -- and there is indeed some overlap, since one of the most popular techniques, Swedish massage, has important therapeutic properties. But massage therapy includes many techniques for different health applications, including:

  • Swedish massage, a soothing, surface-level massage that relaxes muscles, improves circulation and relieves stress
  • Deep tissue massage, a more aggressive massage technique that can relieve chronic pain and break up internal scarring
  • Trigger point therapy, the manipulation of those painful muscle knots that can cause pain throughout the body
  • Pregnancy massage, a gentle massage technique (employing special treatment tables) to optimize prenatal health and comfort
  • Sports massage, a targeted massage program that loosens and rehabilitates the muscles required in a specific sport

The Many Ways Massage Therapy Can Aid Your Health

Massage therapy and chiropractic care make natural partners in easing your pain and boosting your health. Our Mount Pleasant chiropractor may recommend massage sessions followed by chiropractic adjustment sessions because the loosening of tight muscles can help the adjustments proceed more easily and effectively. Relaxed muscles are more likely to accept a new joint position instead of "fighting" it. We may also recommend massage therapy to help treat a wide range of ailments and symptoms. Massage therapy can be highly effective against:

  • Sprains and strains
  • TMJ pain
  • Acute or chronic sports injuries
  • Sleep problems
  • Anxiety
  • Fibromyalgia and other forms of chronic pain
  • Digestive complaints
  • Impaired immune response
  • Back, neck, or limb pain
  • Circulatory problems
