What is massage therapy?

Massage therapy is a manual technique that uses the hands to rub and knead your joints, muscles, and other soft tissues. It’s a safe and effective way to ease tension, limit pain, and encourage your body’s natural healing process.

During a massage therapy appointment, the team alternates between applying light and strong pressure. That process helps eliminate trigger points, allowing for improved mobility and joint function.


What are the types of massage therapy?

At the practice of Tyra L Beavers BS, PTA, DC, the team offers several types of massage therapy, including:

Swedish massage

If you have sore muscles, or you’re experiencing lots of tension, consider Swedish massage. Swedish massage uses a combination of light kneading, deep circular motions, vibration, and tapping to release muscle knots and help you relax.

Deep tissue massage

If you experience chronic muscle tightness or you’re recovering from a sports injury, the team might recommend a deep tissue massage. During this type of massage therapy, your provider uses deep finger pressure and slow strokes to relieve tension affecting the deepest layers of muscle and connective tissue.

Connective tissue massage

Connective tissue massage provides relief from chronic tension or pain. It works to improve your circulation and range-of-motion through targeted, manual pressure, kneading, and deep circular motions. Aside from relieving pain, connective tissue massage can increase your energy levels and breathing capacity. 

Shiatsu

Shiatsu is a massage technique developed in Japan. It’s designed to relieve stress, pain, and tension. During Shiatsu massage, the team focuses on specific areas of your body. They use their hands, palms, and thumbs to massage specific pain points with pulsing, rhythmic pressure.

Pregnancy massage

Pregnancy massage helps relieve body aches, muscle tension, and stress associated with being pregnant. During treatment, the team lightly massages your lower back, hips, and legs. Pregnancy massage is a safe and effective way to ease pain and encourage relaxation.


What type of massage therapy will benefit me?

To determine the type of massage therapy that will most benefit you, the team reviews your medical history, asks about your symptoms and lifestyle, and conducts a physical exam. After gathering this information, they can develop a treatment plan that aligns with your needs.
