While massage is a terrific way to tame tension, it also promotes rehabilitation and provides pain relief. In addition to offering stress reduction massage, we primarily focus on deep tissue, which can address muscle soreness or injury. Other types of massage therapy available are Ashiatsu foot massage, sports massage, and prenatal/pregnancy massage.
The reason we offer massage at Back Care Plus is that this form of bodywork and chiropractic care complement each other. While chiropractic focuses on the relationship between the spine and how it impacts the nervous system, massage focuses on the 650 muscles of the body. Both massage and chiropractic work harmoniously to help keep the body properly aligned, balanced and functioning at its peak.
What to Expect
You’ll have a consultation with Kay, our highly experienced massage therapist. She will evaluate you and find out what’s brought you in and what your goals are. She can provide a full body massage or address specific areas of concern, such as an extremity.
If you’re an existing patient of Dr. Hoover, he will take you to meet Kay and let her know the problems he thinks need to be focused on.
