Hollstrom & Associates Inc's Use of Massage

"Ahhhh..." is music to a massage therapist's ear!

Massage therapy is typically thought of for relaxation, however massage treatment can be so much more when combined with chiropractic techniques. Massage treatment administered in the chiropractic office goes for the "Ahhhh..." response as well as more specific soft tissue and muscle work to alleviate tightness and allow the adjustment's realignment of bones and its subsequent pain relief to last longer. Massage treatment goes hand-in-hand with the Cox Technic protocols.

What is Massage Therapy?

Complementary to chiropractic care at Hollstrom & Associates Inc with Cox Technic Flexion Distraction and Decompression spinal manipulation, massage therapy is the manual manipulation of the body's soft tissue structures through a variety of methods ranging from relaxing to rehabilitative. Soft tissues include muscle, skin, tendons, fascia, ligaments and joint capsules. These are often involved when the spine and extremities are hurting.

With massage therapy, function, flexibility and overall circulation of the soft tissues increase.
