Massage Treatment
To feel healthy, pain-free, and in control of your physical well-being, all the systems within the body need to be in alignment. At Weymouth Chiropractic and Wellness Center, we make a point of offering different wellness solutions to provide relief and guidance to our patients, regardless of the ailment. Along with chiropractic treatment and acupuncture treatment, we offer massage therapy treatment services too.
A professional massage from a certified massage therapist at our wellness center differs from what someone might typically think of as a professional massage. For example, a massage received on vacation at the day spa or beach; as nice as a massage by the water can be, it’s not necessarily going to be performed in a way to help the body find alignment and well-suited for daily activity.
A certified massage therapist works the body’s muscles, tissues, and ligaments to ensure that mobility, comfort, and recovery are the priority. The benefits of massage therapy are amplified when working in conjunction with chiropractic treatment and acupuncture treatment. We design custom programs tailored to work on our patient’s specific needs.
We create harmony with different treatment solutions to provide the right treatment for our patient’s pains and difficulties.
Do You Know The Benefits Of Massage Therapy?
It is a common misconception that massage, somehow, is a luxury. On the contrary, it is a very important therapy to remove toxins, increase circulation and strengthen immunity.
Through the power of touch, toxins are released, freeing the body and giving the circulatory system a complete refresh. In addition, massage can lower the heart rate and blood pressure, relax the muscles and help a person feel better overall.
As a client, massage therapy will refresh your outlook on life by making your body healthier and more physically aligned. Massage has been recognized for its health-enhancing effects, its effectiveness in soothing aches and pains that build up slowly, and its role in facilitating the body’s healing powers that can restore harmony and balance.

Different Type Of Massage Treatments Offered
Swedish Massage
Swedish Massage is a very relaxing and therapeutic style of bodywork. It combines oils or lotion with various strokes such as rolling, kneading, and percussion to help the body improve its circulation. The benefits of this type of bodywork are wide-ranging and include:
- Relief from aches and pains
- Decreased stress levels in the body
- Enhanced mental clarity
- Healthier appearance
- Greater flexibility
Deep Tissue Massage
Deep Tissue Massage is a form of bodywork that aims to relieve tension in the deeper layers of tissue in the body. Deep Tissue Massage is a highly effective method for releasing chronic stress areas due to misalignment, repetitive motions, and past lingering injuries. Due to the nature of the deep tissue work, open communication during the session is crucial to make sure you don’t get too uncomfortable.
Keep in mind that soreness is pretty common after the treatment and that patients should ingest plenty of water to aid with the flushing and removal of toxins that have been released from the deep tissue during the session.
Cupping Massage
Cupping Therapy is an ancient form of alternative medicine. People get it for many purposes, including to help with pain, inflammation, blood flow, relaxation, and well-being, and it is a type of deep-tissue massage.
A therapist puts vacuum cups on your skin to stimulate the underlying tissue for a few minutes and create suction.
Side effects may result in circular discoloration (ranging in shades due to the health of the underlying tissue). This is because old trapped blood gets pulled out of tight or restricted muscle tissue, rising to the surface of the skin. This discoloration side effect only lasts between 3-7 days after treatment.
Hot Stone Therapy
Hot Stone Therapy is a style of massage where heated stones are placed at specific sites on your body to deepen relaxation and promote circulation in your muscles. Muscles targeted with hot stones release tension and stress quicker and more vigorously than with a traditional massage. The overall experience is very relaxing, nurturing, and rejuvenating.
