Midlothian Therapeutic Massage  Benefits

Massage therapy has always been a great escape from stress, but this is only one of the many benefits massage has to offer. Our nationally certified team of massage therapists has extensive experience with a number of therapeutic massage techniques that treat a specific symptom and contribute to overall wellness. Massage has been shown to alleviate neck pain, back pain and other pain and swelling, improve posture and flexibility, and lower heart rate and blood pressure. Our massages can speed up the healing of sprains, strains and other injuries to muscles, ligaments and surrounding tissues while decreasing the formation of scar tissue.

The type of the message that can best benefit your situation depends on your particular needs. At Wellness First Center, we offer the following types of massage: Swedish, Deep Tissue, Sports, Pregnancy, Geriatric Massage and Trigger Point Therapy.

Massage for Whiplash and Auto Accident Injuries, Muscle Strains and Sprains

Massage therapy is an especially useful tool for treating injuries. We can use it on its own or combine it with other chiropractic techniques geared toward pain relief and healing. For instance, our deep tissue massage helps treat musculoskeletal injuries, such as neck ligament and tissue damage caused by whiplash. Auto accident injuries may not produce symptoms immediately following the accident even if damage has been done. Our deep tissue massage is often part of a treatment plan to correct underlying damage even before painful symptoms appear.

Although therapeutic massage is an ideal treatment for neck pain, back pain, and injuries, you do not have to be suffering to reap the myriad benefits from our various massage techniques. The slow, deliberate strokes of our deep tissue massage helps healing while ourgentle Swedish massage combines lengthy strokes with tapping to energize and relax the body. Our Midlothian trigger point therapy focuses on releasing tension from specific trigger points, or muscle knots, which can develop from overuse or injury. Our sports massage helps to both prevent and treat injuries for active and athletic patients. We also offer pregnancy massage therapy geared toward relaxing and soothing the body during pregnancy and geriatric massage to help alleviate age-related symptoms.

Give the Gift of Massage: Gift Certificates

Just as you do not have to wait until you are in pain to enjoy our Midlothian therapeutic massage, you do not have to keep the healing benefits all to yourself, either. We offer gift certificates so you can offer the gift of relaxation to anyone. Our knowledgeable staff can help you choose the type of massage that would make the ideal gift for specific situations, and all are available in 30, 60, or 90-minute session lengths.

Our massage therapy has long been relaxing, energizing and helping to heal the Midlothian, Richmond, Chesterfield, and Powtan communities, and we would be glad to tailor a massage program that is specifically meant just for you.
