Massage Therapy

At Wyckoff Family Chiropractic, we are pleased to offer the services of certified massage therapists to help relieve musculoskeletal pain. These services include Swedish, deep tissue, hot stone, prenatal techniques, and reflexology. In addition to relieving pain, massage therapy can also improve blood circulation, reduce swelling, relieve stress, expedite muscle recovery, and improve range of motion.

We also practice pin and stretch techniques (active release), which combines deep tissue massage therapy with the active and passive involvement of the patient in order to reduce scar tissue or adhesions that can inhibit normal muscle function.

Swedish Massage

This massage is full body massage that uses long flowing, kneading strokes to relax muscles, relieve stress, and muscle soreness while promoting an overall sense of well-being. The massage is performed in the direction of blood flowing to the heart therefore improving overall circulation.

Deep Tissue Massage

This massage involves more usage of thumbs, palms, and fingers at a slower pace with more precise gliding movements. It greatly affects the deeper more internal tissues, unsticking the fibers of the muscles, releasing both toxins and deeply held patterns of tension.

Hot Stone Massage

This massage uses smooth, heated stones which are placed on key points on the body. They are often basalt, which is a black volcanic rock that absorbs and retains heat well. The stones are also sometimes used to massage certain areas of the body.
