A Powerful Complement to Chiropractic Care

Massage therapy is the manipulation of the body’s soft tissues, including muscles, connective tissue, tendons, ligaments, and joints. This healthcare option helps alleviate discomfort associated with everyday stress, muscular overuse, and many chronic pain conditions.

Frequently Asked Questions

How long has massage been around?

Massage therapy dates back over 5,000 years, with origins in ancient China, Egypt, and India. Illustrations of people receiving massages have even been found in Egyptian tombs—proving stress relief has always been important!

Where does the word massage come from?

The term “massage” has multiple origins:

Arabic massa – to touch or feel
French masser – to knead
Greek massein – to knead or handle

No matter the origin, the result is the same: pain relief, relaxation, and better movement.

Can massage make me taller?

Temporarily, yes! Massage releases tension and decompresses the spine, allowing it to lengthen by up to half an inch. (Helpful for NBA/WNBA dreams!)

Was massage used before modern medicine?

Absolutely. Ancient civilizations used massage to treat ailments, improve circulation, and enhance overall well-being. It was even part of early Olympic training in Greece. Before doctors and prescription medications, there was massage.

Why do people snore during a massage?

Falling asleep—and sometimes snoring—during a massage shows your nervous system is fully relaxed. Massage therapists take it as a compliment!

Why does my stomach growl during a massage?

That’s your parasympathetic nervous system activating, putting your body into “rest and digest” mode. It’s a natural response to deep relaxation and is also seen as a compliment by your therapist!

How did chair massage start?

Modern chair massage originated from a 1980s infomercial showing someone getting a massage on a backward chair. David Palmer then designed the first portable massage chair, helping RMTs provide quick, effective relief to busy people.

Can massage boost creativity?

Yes! By reducing stress and improving mental clarity, massage can enhance creative problem-solving. Some of the best ideas often come when you’re relaxed!

What is ‘post-massage stupor?’

That floaty, blissed-out feeling after a session is due to a rush of endorphins and lowered cortisol levels. Some people even forget where they parked after their appointment!

Can massage help with jet lag?

Definitely. Massage improves circulation, relaxes your nervous system, and helps your body recover from long flights—making it a great remedy for travel fatigue.
