Massage Therapy in State College
Our chiropractic clinic appreciates the importance of complementary solutions for your pain and discomfort. Massage therapy and chiropractic treatment work hand-in-hand to reduce tight, sore, and injured soft tissues quickly and effectively.
Many of our injury and wellness plans incorporate massage therapy treatments. Our licensed massage therapist uses varying degrees of pressure and different massage techniques to manually manipulate the muscles, tendons, and connective tissues.
A therapeutic massage is different from a spa massage.
When you receive a massage service from our licensed massage therapist, you receive a medical type treatment intended to heal dysfunctional soft tissues of the body. While many find this type of massage to be relaxing and help to ease stress, the purpose of the therapeutic massage is to treat sore and painful muscles and joints.
Working alone or in combination with chiropractic treatments, we have seen patients have faster recovery times, reduced pain, and improved joint function and muscle strength.
Book your visit; we’re confident massage therapy can benefit you.
Do I need massage therapy?
Massage therapy applies manual, hands-on techniques to alleviate muscle and joint pain. During a one-hour session, your massage therapist can focus on multiple target areas or offer a complete body treatment, including the neck, back, arms, and legs.
Our massage therapy patients often report an overall improved sense of well-being. Many people choose to seek massage therapy regardless of whether or not they have an active, painful complaint and/or use massage therapy as a means of preventing aches and pains.
When you work with our licensed State College massage therapist, you can trust that you will receive high-quality, safe, and impactful treatment.
Massage and chiropractic care, alone or in combination, can significantly reduce your aches and pains, often generating immediate relief.
