Massage Therapy at Ehlich Family Health and Wellness
At Ehlich Family Health and Wellness, massage therapy is a big part of our wellness-focused care. It’s meant to work alongside your chiropractic visits—helping relax tight muscles, ease stress, increase range of motion, flexibility, agility, and support the way your body moves and feels.
Whether you’re looking for relief from everyday aches or you’re focused on long-term wellness, massage can be a gentle, supportive way to care for your spine and nervous system. Especially when combined with spinal adjustments. However, you may also receive massage therapy without chiropractic care.
What Is Massage Therapy?
Massage therapy is hands-on care that focuses on the muscles and other soft tissues of the body. Your massage therapist uses comfortable, targeted techniques to help:
- Relax tight or overworked muscles
- Improve range of motion
- Improve circulation in the area being addressed
- Calm the nervous system and reduce stress
- Improve flexibility and agility
At Ehlich Family Health and Wellness, each session is tailored to you. Some patients prefer a light, relaxing touch, while others feel better with deeper, more focused work. Before you begin, your therapist will talk with you about what you’re feeling and adjust pressure and techniques to keep you comfortable.
Who Is Massage Therapy For?
Massage therapy can be a great fit for many people and goals. It may be especially helpful if you:
- Have tight, sore muscles in your neck, shoulders, back, or hips
- Spend long hours sitting, driving, or working at a computer
- Feel stressed, have trouble unwinding, or aren’t sleeping well
- Are active in sports or hobbies and want to support recovery
- Want to improve posture and flexibility
- Are receiving chiropractic care and want to help your adjustments “hold” more comfortably
Many patients say they feel looser, calmer, and more at ease after a massage. When paired with chiropractic care, it can also help your spine and joints move more freely and comfortably.
Your Massage Visit: What to Expect
From the moment you arrive at Ehlich Family Health and Wellness, our goal is to help you feel comfortable and cared for.
Here’s what a typical massage visit looks like:
- First, you’ll chat briefly with your therapist about your health history, any areas you want to focus on, and what you’re hoping to get from your session. If you’re also a chiropractic patient, your therapist can coordinate with the doctor so your massage supports your overall care plan.
- During your massage, your therapist will:
- Focus on the areas you discussed at the start
- Check in with you about pressure and comfort
- Adjust techniques as needed so you can relax
- After your session, you may receive a few simple stretches, self-care tips, or guidance on how often massage might be helpful based on your needs.
- If you’re new to Ehlich Family Health and Wellness, you’re also welcome to take advantage of our complimentary consultation to talk about how massage, chiropractic care, and our other wellness services may support your goals.
