In tandem with massage therapy, physiotherapist's chiropractic care can be very beneficial, as outlined below. Prepares The Muscles And Attachments — Massage therapy focuses on manipulating the soft tissues like muscles, tendons, and ligaments by improving circulation and blood flow that warms these soft tissues, causing them to loosen and relax. When your muscles are warm, you’re going to have more elasticity and function. Massage prior to a chiropractic adjustment prevents the likelihood of spasms post-adjustment because of elongation of the muscles that attach to the spine after a message. Massage Extends The Benefit Of Chiropractic Adjustment — Since there is a decrease in muscle tension, there is an increase in flexibility and longer sustained benefits from the adjustment. Positive Influence On Circulatory System — The circulation of the blood, lymph, and interstitial fluids is critical to the natural homeostasis throughout the body, as well as its ability to heal and regenerate. Improvement in circulation has a plethora of benefits involving all body systems. General Sense Of Wellness — Massage Therapy helps the body relax, decreases stress, and reduces anxiety. Chiropractic treatment is aided when the body is relaxed and the patient is calm. Massage therapy and chiropractic care together can help to cleanse the body of impurities by breaking down built-up toxins, which often has a calming effect on anxious and excessively stressed patients. Recovery From Pain — Recovery, especially from conditions that cause pain, can be faster and more complete when multiple components of that pain are addressed simultaneously. Spinal alignment is key for diminishing back pain. The chiropractor will work to resolve the structural problems and the massage therapist works to resolve the soft tissue problems.
