Massage Therapy for Stress Reduction
When your body is under stress, you won’t recover from injuries as quickly. Chronic pain and acute and chronic injuries can also put added physical and emotional stress on you. Regular massage therapy sessions can relieve stress and tension and improve your physical and mental health. At Advanced Spine & Sport Chiropractic, our chiropractor Dr. James Baranski specializes in sports injury recovery, work injury recovery, and auto injury recovery. He can design a personalized injury treatment plan combining chiropractic care and massage therapy in Ventura, CA.
How Does Massage Therapy Relieve Stress?
During massage therapy, we will apply varying levels of pressure on key muscles, ligaments, tendons, joints, and soft tissues. We may also manipulate your limbs and joints. Massage therapy stimulates the release of natural painkillers throughout the body, which relieves pain and promotes relaxation. Massage therapy also relaxes muscles and soft tissues and alleviates tension. Your body will send increased blood flow, oxygen, and nutrients to the area, which will accelerate healing and relieve inflammation.
What Type of Massage Therapy Is Best for Injury Recovery?
Deep tissue massage and Swedish massage are the best types of massage therapy for deep tissue injuries. All other types of massage are safe and effective methods of pain relief and injury recovery for injuries like tendonitis, bursitis, repetitive stress injuries, overuse injuries, joint pain, muscle pain, muscle sprains and strains, back pain, and more.
Can You Combine Massage Therapy With Other Treatment Options?
Yes, Dr. Baranski recommends combining massage therapy with other chiropractic therapies. Combining therapies can accelerate healing, improve mobility and range of motion, relieve pain and inflammation, improve circulation, reduce swelling, and help you get back on your feet faster. When you undergo massage therapy before a chiropractic adjustment, your body will be more relaxed and receptive to the adjustment. When you undergo massage therapy after a chiropractic adjustment, the massage will help your body acclimate to the results of the adjustment and ensure you don’t feel any tension, stiffness, or discomfort.
