Registered Massage Therapists assess and treat physical dysfunction and pain of the soft tissues and joints of the body, using a hands-on approach.
There are remarkable benefits that can be achieved with regular treatments from a Registered Massage Therapist. Whether your need is to have a moment of relaxation, reduce muscle tension or attain some relief from your aches and pains, a therapeutic massage can enhance your overall sense of emotional and physical well-being as well as your quality of life.
Massage therapy helps people of all ages and is often a beneficial addition to your treatment plan or overall health maintenance plan.
What to Expect on your First Registered Massage Therapy Visit
Clinic Intake Information
At Chiropractic Plus, we take the pain out of the initial paperwork with an easy-to-use, confidential and secure touch screen monitor, where you enter information about your condition.
Health History
When you go in to see the Massage Therapist, they will sit down with you and go over the details of your condition and your overall health.
Assessment
The Massage Therapist will also conduct a brief assessment of your condition. This is important for ensuring that your condition is one that can be helped by massage therapy and that it is safe for you to receive treatment. The assessment is also essential for helping to create a personalized treatment plan for your specific condition.
Treatment
During treatment, your comfort and privacy are of utmost importance. Treatment can be provided whether any or some of your clothing is removed, and your privacy is always protected with proper draping procedures. Depending on your condition, the massage therapist will utilize various massage therapy techniques that can help you to relieve stress, relax tight muscles, facilitate lymphatic drainage and improve range of motion and circulation.
