The massage therapists at Peninsula RSI Chiropractic Wellness Center have extensive experience performing many types of massage. After an evaluation, they determine the type that’s best for your health needs.
The following are only a few examples of the massage therapies they provide.
Deep tissue massage targets specific areas of pain and muscle tension, using a firm, deep pressure, and a gliding movement to relax the muscle group. During trigger point massage, your therapist applies pressure directly on a knotted muscle.
Swedish massage is a classic style used to promote overall relaxation. However, it also increases blood flow, which means the targeted tissues get more healing oxygen and nutrients. This type of massage uses hand movements such as kneading and circular pressure.
A sports massage is customized to your specific athletic activity, targeting certain muscle groups and designed to improve your performance. Before a competition, a sports massage improves flexibility, reduces muscle fatigue, and prevents injuries. After the competition, the massage relieves swelling, relaxes muscles, and promotes recovery.
