Massage Therapy

GFWellness98

Chiropractic and massage can be combined for the ultimate relaxation experience. Your muscles and spine will be addressed more specifically by our certified massage therapists.

Feel Great and Function Better

The practice of massage therapy is the assessment and manipulation of the soft tissues and joints of the body. Our therapist has a wealth of knowledge about anatomy and physiology of the body’s structure.

The effects of massage therapy reach beyond relaxation. Massage therapy:

  • Increases circulation, enabling better oxygen and nutrient delivery to muscles and cells and the removal of waste materials
  • Stimulates healthy separation and realignment of injured fibres
  • Helps decrease pain and inflammation
  • Loosens contracted muscles and stimulates weak muscles to help balance the body
  • Increases mobility in joints
  • Affects internal organs through direct or indirect nerve stimulation
