Massage Therapy in Los Altos
Massages are a popular spa treatment, the benefits of which are widely known. Less known though, are the benefits of receiving massage therapy at your chiropractor’s office. Below we answer some frequently asked questions about massage therapy and the benefits of combining it with chiropractic care from Reimer Wellness Center.
What Exactly is Massage Therapy?
Massage therapy involves different combinations of rubbing and kneading muscles, ligaments, and soft tissues. Massages can reduce pain and stress, release the lactic acid that is trapped in sore muscles, and increase the circulation in your body.
Do I Have to Undress Completely?
You are not required to be completely undressed. Many patients choose to leave on their undergarments while others are comfortable without them. Your level of comfort is the deciding factor.
Should I Receive Both Massage Therapy and Chiropractic Care?
Having massage therapy and care from a chiropractor can be incredibly beneficial, especially when done on the same day. Massage therapy loosens up the joints and soft tissues. The two treatments in tandem can give you excellent results.
What If My Massage is Painful?
We strive to provide a comfortable massage. While experiencing some discomfort over tender or very sore areas is possible, high levels of pain should be avoided. If you feel as if your massage is too intense, let us know. We will adjust our procedure to suit your needs.
How Many Massage Sessions Should I Receive?
While you will likely see improvement after the first massage session, those improvements will amplify after each one. Every massage you receive loosens up more muscles and ligaments. Your massage therapist can help you determine the optimum number of sessions depending on the treatment you need.
