About Massage
You may not even realise how tight and sore you are until you get a massage, or how good it will feel once the tension is removed.
One of the main benefits of massage is calming the nervous system and relaxing tight muscles. Massage can help reduce inflammation and increase blood and lymph flow, which then aids in the circulation of oxygen around the body and the removal of toxins. It works through the mobilisation of soft tissues – muscles, tendons, ligaments, and fascia. As these soften with the treatment, we can achieve a greater range of motion at joints, improvements in muscle function and a reduction in pain.
Two types of massage are offered at Karori Chiropractic:
- Remedial/therapeutic deep tissue massage: a targeted treatment that includes an examination and treatment of the problem areas.
- Relaxation massage: For those that wish to relax and unwind, using techniques that aim to make you feel comfortable and at ease.
All appointments consist of a thorough consultation prior to the massage to discuss why you have come in and what you hope to achieve in the treatment.
