Massage therapy uses a holistic approach to healing, based on the innate power of the body to heal itself. Massage therapists work with our chiropractors to provide health and wellness to those with dysfunction in the muscular-skeletal system.

The benefits of massage therapy include:

• Relieves pain to muscles and soft tissue


• Prepares body for chiropractic adjustments


• “Retrains” muscles to support re-aligned vertebrae


• Improves circulation


• Promotes muscle relaxation


• Promotes faster recovery of damaged soft tissue


• Decreases constriction of nerves due to muscle tension


• Decreases the effects of physical and mental stress


• Decreases blood pressure


• Improves immune response

Many of today’s major health problems are caused by prolonged stress due to our living and working environments. Stress leads to conditions such as tension headache, backache, high blood pressure, heart disease, and others. Stress can also impair the immune system leaving those affected vulnerable to disease. At Parnell Wellness massage therapy is geared to helping clients fight the effects of stress.
