Anacortes Massage Therapy
Therapeutic Massage at Chris Frost Chiropractic
Chiropractic has been shown to work better in conjunction with massage therapy. This makes sense. If muscles are tight and strained, chiropractic alignments are going to be more difficult. And after having an adjustment, tight tissues are going to try and return the body to it’s rigid ways.
Chiropractic has been shown to work better in conjunction with massage therapy
At our office in Anacortes, we use two types of massage therapy. The first is the type you think about when you say massage. The relaxing “ahhhh!” that you get when you have a massage from a Licensed Massage Practitioner. Our practitioner’s, Tracy Smolsnik, MaryRose Denton, Ann Gardner, and Tammy Lane work on many patients in our office. Some patient’s like to get massage therapy from Tracy, MaryRose, Ann or Tammy before being adjusted. Others like the feeling of massage afterwards. Still others get massage with no adjustments. All of these are valid options.
Hydro Massage – Relax Without Getting Wet!
At other times pain comes on more quickly, and there is no time to get a massage therapy appointment set up. But we still would like to have the availability of having our patient’s get a massage before getting adjusted. That is why we have a hydro-massage machine. Hydro-massage is like getting in a hot tub without getting wet. The warm jets of water help calm and relax our patient’s before they are seen by the doctor. When they are relaxed the machine lifts up and they emerge, dry and relaxed as if they just spent a day in the spa.
If you aren’t getting massage therapy done with your chiropractic care, you don’t know what you are missing! Chiropractic is a wonderful type of care, and feels good, but massage therapy takes our chiropractic adjustments to a whole new level. If you’ve had it done in our office, you know what we’re talking about.
