Massage therapy is a type of treatment in which a trained and certified massage therapist manipulates the soft tissues of your body. Massage therapy can help relieve musculoskeletal pain, increase circulation, decrease muscle tension, reduce stress, rehabilitate sports injuries, as well as provide relaxation and aid in general wellness.

Sports chiropractors focus their care on the relationship between joint restrictions and their resulting effect on movement throughout the rest of the body. This requires a comprehensive understanding of biomechanics in order to understand and treat joint restrictions in the spine and extremities with modern, research-based chiropractic techniques.

Instrument-Assisted Soft Tissue Mobilization (IASTM) is a manual therapy technique in which clinicians utilize stainless steel instruments to effectively and efficiently treat areas exhibiting soft tissue dysfunction, fibrosis, or chronic inflammation. IASTM addresses scar tissue and fascial restrictions while encouraging increased blood flow to the muscles resulting in improved patient outcomes.

During these manual therapy treatments a provider uses their hands with precise tension and specific movements to relieve tissue tension, restore full range of motion, and break up fibrosis/adhesions. This is an effective form of treatment for muscle, fascia, tendon, nerve, and ligament injuries.
