Massage Therapy at Integrated Health Solutions Sports & Performance Chiropractic
Who Needs Massage Therapy?
At Integrated Health Solutions Sports & Performance Chiropractic, we believe everyone can benefit from massage therapy. It is the utilization of many techniques to activate the relaxation mechanisms within each muscle and tendon to transform these tissues by increasing circulation and healing. It also mobilizes dense scar tissue that forms after repeated stress, strain or acute injuries. Breaking up this scar tissue allows for freer motion, so joints aren’t locked into suboptimal, dysfunctional positions.
How Does Massage Therapy Complement Chiropractic?
Massage and chiropractic work well together because whenever a joint is not moving as it should, the soft tissues that are part of that joint complex are affected. In order for the chiropractic adjustment to make lasting changes to the alignment and mobility of the joint, the damaged ligaments and muscles must also be corrected through massage therapy.
For athletes, keeping the tissues mobile is of paramount importance. By loosening up the muscles and ligaments through massage, you are able to stretch more effectively, which keeps the body more fluid and helps reduce the risk of injury.

- Neurofascial release
- Trigger point therapy
Our massage therapy is clinical and specifically targeted to your needs. It isn’t a relaxing, full-body massage that you might receive at a spa—it’s focused on the areas of your body that we are working on correcting, and works deeply on the damaged tissues.
