What are the benefits of a Therapeutic Massage?

Massage therapy can be beneficial for the reduction of stress and fatigue. It can help to improve circulation, reduce pain, and improve sleep.  Massage therapy can contribute to your overall general wellness.  

Often, a therapeutic massage and a chiropractic adjustment can benefit each other.  This is why we offer massage therapy at our Ontario Chiropractic office.

We offer the following types of massage.

Pre-natal Massage - Lower back and neck to help the stresses of pregnancy

Lomi-Lomi - Hawaiian massage
Myo Therapy - Trigger point relief therapy
Lymph Drainage Massage Therapy - (See description below)

Be sure to drink plenty of water before and after your massage. This will aid in flushing toxins just released during the massage.

Lymph Drainage Massage Therapy

The proper functioning of the lymphatic system is critical to our body's ability to operate at peak performance. The lymphatic system drains fluids, detoxifies and regenerates tissues, filters out toxins, foreign substances and helps us maintain a healthy immune system.

If the lymph circulation stagnates, toxins can accumulate and compromise cellular functioning, which open the way to physical ailments.

Lymph Drainage Massage Therapy techniques are performed with the hands and fingers simulating gentle, wave like movements. These subtle manual maneuvers activate lymph and interstisial fluid circulation as well as stimulate the functioning of the immune and parasympathetic nervous system.

When these actions are accomplished, some of the results can be:

• Reduction of edemas (swelling) and lymph edemas of various origins.     
• Detoxification of the body.     
• Relief of numerous chronic and sub acute inflammations, including sinusitis and bronchitis.     
• Relief of chronic pain.     
• Stimulation of the immune system.   
• Reduction in the symptoms of chronic fatigue syndrome and fibromalgia
