We often think of a massage as an indulgence, but therapeutic massage has genuine health benefits for many patients suffering from various conditions and symptoms. The residents of Fairfield, CA, and surrounding areas are lucky enough to be able to turn to Dr. Michael Wilson and his team at Kosak Chiropractic for therapeutic massage as part of an integrative health plan that helps you work towards better overall health.
What Is Therapeutic Massage?
Therapeutic massage is the manual manipulation of the soft tissues in the body by a licensed massage therapist. It is often used to encourage relaxation and improve your overall well-being and quality of life by relieving pain and reducing stress.
Therapeutic massage also has a physiological benefit and can work towards improving your circulation. This increases blood flow to negatively affected areas of the body and stimulates healing at a cellular level. It also helps restore mobility when you have a limited range of motion, relieves pain, and positively impacts the lymphatic and neurological systems.
Therapeutic massage and chiropractic care in the form of spinal manipulations and adjustments or other treatments work harmoniously to move patients toward a healthier physical and mental state of being.

Benefits of Therapeutic Massage
There are several benefits to receiving therapeutic massage treatments. On a psychological level, it can help relieve stress, promote relaxation and reduce anxiety, which helps to improve your overall mental health. For patients suffering from muscle spasms or strains, it can help relieve the pain you are experiencing and loosen the muscles so that you are more comfortable. This is especially beneficial for athletes participating in their preferred sports. If you are injured or experiencing swelling, the correct massage can do wonders to improve your symptoms.
