What is Massage and Muscle Therapy?
Massage and Muscle Therapy involve specialized techniques aimed at improving muscular health and overall well-being. Massage, a hands-on practice, employs various pressures, strokes, and movements to reduce muscle tension, enhance circulation, and promote relaxation. It aids in stress reduction, pain relief, improved flexibility, and better posture. Muscle therapy, on the other hand, encompasses a range of targeted treatments directed at specific muscle groups or areas of discomfort. Techniques may include stretching, myofascial release, and trigger point therapy, all designed to alleviate muscle pain, enhance mobility, and aid in injury rehabilitation. Both modalities are integral for those seeking physical and mental rejuvenation.

Benefits of Massage & Muscle Therapy
At Korwitts Chiropractic, we offer massage and muscle therapy due to the wide range of benefits our patients enjoy, both physical and mentally. Here are some benefits you may enjoy:
