Massage Therapy

Massage therapy helps to relieve stress-related tension, which experts believe may account for as much as 90% of disease. The primary benefit of massage is increased circulation, which allows the body to pump more oxygen and nutrients into tissues and vital organs, promoting healing and wellness.

Massage also stimulates the body’s natural defense against toxic invaders. It relaxes and softens injured and overused muscles, reduces spasms and cramping, and increases joint mobility and flexibility.

If you’re an athlete, massage can help you recover faster, and can also release endorphins, the body’s natural painkiller.

Massage therapy at Saxony Chiropractic is generally different than your typical spa massage. It is designed to break down the soft tissues so that your body can rebuild healthy tissues. During massage it is very important for you to discuss your comfort and tolerance levels with the therapist to ensure a productive session and not exceed your level of tolerance. The majority of sessions are focused on a specific problem area identified by Dr. Kuper, and are generally not full body.

One size does not fit all for these sessions. Dr. Kuper and our therapist are well versed in several different techniques and will work with you to find out what achieves the best results for YOU. The key is keeping lines of communication open.
