We offer several different types of massage therapy in Birmingham, including Swedish, sports and deep tissue. While Swedish massage is great for relieving stress and relaxing the muscles and ligaments, sports massage is great for individuals that play sports or exercise on a regular basis.
These massages can help alleviate pain after a workout and help heal sports injuries. Deep tissue massages are used to heal chronic and acute injuries and to break apart scar tissue from old injuries.
Our massage therapist does perform prenatal massages. During your appointment, you will be asked to lay in a position that is comfortable for you. Pillows and other soft supports will be added to enhance your comfort. Prenatal massages can help alleviate back and leg pain as well as general discomfort.
Massage therapy at Birmingham Wellness center is great for alleviating widespread muscle pain. The therapy aids in the release of lactic acid, which causes muscle soreness and stiffness after exercise, and it helps promote blood flow and oxygenation throughout the body, which can decrease recovery times for soft tissue injuries. You can absolutely combine massage therapy with chiropractic care from our Birmingham chiropractor.
When massage therapy is combined with chiropractic adjustments, individuals experience longer lasting adjustments and faster pain relief. Receiving a massage before your adjustment can make your spinal adjustment more comfortable. Massage therapy is very effective at reliving muscle and joint pain. Most people notice a significant reduction in their overall body pain after the first session. Though, it is important to understand the types of massage and their benefits.
