MASSAGE THERAPY AT HAMILTON HEALTH ASSOCIATES

Because we are an integrative office, we believe massage therapy is a vital component of care because it complements and enhances the effectiveness of other treatments like chiropractic care, physical therapy, and medical interventions.  By relieving muscle tension, improving circulation, and reducing stress, massage therapy supports the body's natural healing process and prepares it for more effective alignment and rehabilitation.  This collaborative approach ensures our patients receive comprehensive care tailored to their unique needs, fostering long-term wellness and pain relief.

TYPES OF MASSAGE WE OFFER

Relaxation — The most familiar form of massage to relax and rejuvenate. While the focus of this full-body massage is relaxation and stress relief, it is also beneficial by relieving muscle tension, increasing blood flow to critical areas and breaking down scar tissue.

Deep Tissue — A method accustomed to address problems occurring within the deeper soft tissue and facial layers of the body. Scarring, adhesions, and muscular spasms are all treated with the goal of restoring traditional function and motion to the areas affected. Deep tissue doesn't necessarily mean deep pressure, but rather a focused, specific manner of operating within the deeper layers of the body to allow for more permanent changes to occur. 

Neuromuscular — Used to restore balance to the nervous system and musculoskeletal systems. Injury, trauma, postural distortion or stress can influence nerve transmission and therefore overall function of the body. By applying pressure, to specific areas of irritation we hope to eliminate the irritation and restore normal nerve and muscular function. 

Pregnancy — With a focused treatment during pregnancy, we can relieve the aches, pain, stress, and tension while also preparing your muscles for child birth.
