Tampa Massage Therapist

Caez Chiropractic offers a full range of massage services with our in-house neuromuscular massage therapist. The benefits of massage therapy are plentiful. A massage relaxes muscles, easing and soothing aches and pains. It rejuvenates and restores balance to our body and being, making us better for all things life throws our way.

Massage therapy can help in treating numerous conditions and injuries. For example, many types of back pain can be treated with massage therapy. A number of Tampa doctors have referred their patients with back pain to our practice. Patients come to Caez Chiropractic complaining about back muscle issues including tightness and spasms. Our massage therapy programs will pinpoint the muscle issues and put you back on the path of feeling better. 

Massage Therapy after Surgery and Injury

“Many of our patients have told us that they were under the impression that surgery alone would fix everything. Many have underestimated the rehabilitation process that comes along with that path.” – Brian Caez, DC.

Rehabilitation after an injury or surgery can take a long period of time to take lasting effect. We at Caez Chiropractic feel that a very effective approach to numerous types of rehabilitation is to implement a segment of massage therapy in our patient’s recovery process. Our massage therapists have been integrated into numerous patient rehabilitation programs for sports injuries, post-operative surgeries on the back and extremities, and even in the case of injuries obtained in day-to-day accidents such as auto accidents and workplace mishaps. Massage therapy can play an important piece to the rehabilitation process by promoting the body’s muscle and joint movement as well as making the body’s muscles and organs more receptive to nutrients such as minerals and vitamins.

Our Massage Therapist at Caez Chiropractic offer a number of Massage therapies including:

Swedish Massage: This type of massage is one of the most common and popular massage therapies available. Swedish massage utilizes five different massage techniques. The first technique used is called effleurage, also known as the “light touch” technique. This technique is used to prepare the muscles for deeper tissue massage. The second technique in a Swedish massage is kneading which is the first step in beginning to work the deeper tissues during the session. The third technique is friction where the palms of the hands are used in a circular motion to release pressure in the muscles. Vibration is the fourth technique in a Swedish massage and percussion is the fifth which is light tapping on the patient’s body.

Deep Muscle Tissue Massage: Our massage therapist at Caez Chiropractic uses deep tissue massages to work deeper muscles and connective tissue in the effort to realign these muscles and relieve deep pressure and tension that is commonly formed. Deep tissue massages are very often used on the neck, shoulders, and back. This type of massage focuses on these deeper muscles and alleviates pain and discomfort that is created from a variety of problems including Fibromyalgia, Chronic Pain, and injuries from accidents.

Myofascial Release: This form of massage is very beneficial for alleviating pain and increasing range of motion. Myofascial Release therapy is based on the understanding of the body’s fascial system. Fascia is like a sweater-woven muscle system within our bodies. This form of massage therapy focuses on this system and utilizes techniques to relax this group of muscles and promote a better range of motion and remove pain caused by tightness, pressure build-up, scarring, and more. The fascial system is interwoven throughout our body so any tightness, strain, or pull in this system can inadvertently affect every part of our body and create an array of symptoms and issues. Myofascial Release will eradicate those problems in the fascial system and help you return back to a healthy life.

Massage Therapy Can Help Many Types of Conditions

Massage Therapy at Caez Chiropractic is designed to provide relief for many different types of conditions ranging from musculoskeletal problems like low back pain, neck pain, and shoulder pain to stress management and energy balance. Our massage therapist treats many different types of pain conditions every day.

Tampa Frozen Shoulder Syndrome Treatment and Myofascial Release Massage Technique

Frozen Shoulder Syndrome is a complicated condition that can have an underlying metabolic cause such as diabetes or metabolic syndrome. It can be caused from a chronically pinched nerve in the neck and/or the shoulder. Regardless of the cause, our massage therapist is trained to treat Frozen Shoulder Syndrome. The best massage approach to the Frozen Shoulder Syndrome is through a technique called Myofascial Release. This technique uses manual sustained pressure at different key points on the muscle until the tight and taut muscle band releases and softens. Sustained pressure is used from 10 seconds to as long as 60 seconds per muscle point. This is based on the work of Dr. Janet Travell, M.D. Dr. Travell used this technique to treat President John F. Kennedy’s severe chronic low back condition.

Massage Therapy at Caez Chiropractic to Treat Low Back Pain

There are many causes of low back pain. Regardless of the cause, treating your back pain with massage therapy will help. Massage therapy will help low back pain for several reasons. First of all, it will improve circulation in the muscle. By improving circulation, new fresh blood will flow through the painful area in the muscle and replace the inflammation and swelling in the area. The improved circulation will reduce the pain. Second, by treating the area of pain naturally with manual massage, the muscle will respond by loosening and increased flexibility will follow. In other words, massage therapy will help you move better.
