"Ahhhh..." is music to a massage therapist's ear!
Massage therapy is typically thought of for relaxation, however massage therapy can be so much more when tied together with chiropractic techniques. Massage treatment conducted in the chiropractic office seeks the "Ahhhh..." response as well as more specific soft tissue and muscle work to relieve tightness and allow the adjustment's realignment of bones and its resulting pain relief to last longer. Massage treatment stays right in line with the Cox Technic protocols.
