Massage Therapy

What is Massage Therapy?

Massage is a widely accepted therapy used to manipulate the muscles and other soft tissues to relieve pain or muscle tension. This is done by applying differing pressures, movements, and techniques to the muscles or tissue to relieve pain and stiffness as well as muscle difficulties of tightness, spasms, inflammation, and fluid retention.

There are a myriad of different massage styles that are used today including deep tissue massage, and trigger point/myotherapy massage. Different approaches use different techniques to relieve pain in your body.

Regardless of the style of massage, when you get a massage at an Axcess Accident Center one of our massage therapists will use their hands, and potentially their forearm or elbow to apply pressure to your muscles—to produce the desired results for pain relief and muscle relaxation, and recovery.

Before getting a massage for neck pain or back pain we encourage you to speak with your doctor or chiropractor to ensure that it is something that will help you.
