Massage Therapy from Eagle Harbor Health & Chiropractic Center Provides Relief for our Bainbridge Island Patients

When performed by a soft tissue therapist/specialist like Shelley Reimer, massage therapy can aid in significant relief of all different types of pain.  That’s because massage therapy is more targeted and precise than conventional massage.  It’s been shown to be especially helpful for those suffering from arthritis, TMJ syndrome, weak immune system, muscle spasms, fibromyalgia, insomnia and restlessness, among many other ailments.  At Eagle Harbor Health & Chiropractic Center of Bainbridge Island, chiropractic massage comes in many forms and can easily be incorporated into many of the additional treatments available there.

Lymphatic, relaxation, myofascial, warm stone, rehabilitative, sport and Swedish massage are uniquely focused on different parts of the body¾ and are designed to provide unique benefits based on the needs of the patient. Patients who suffer from ailments rooted in toxicity, swelling and inflammation can benefit from lymphatic and myofascial release massage types. Patients that feel ill effects due to poor circulation will find relief in Swedish and hot stone massage, which are designed to increase blood circulation and relax muscles.  For patients suffering from sustained injuries or who put their bodies through high demand activities, rehabilitative and sport massage is meant to support healing and increase flexibility, thereby preventing injury and aggravation of trouble spots.  For patients that seek reduction of stress, deep tissue massage and relaxation massage can make all the difference in releasing tension rather than allowing it to stay in the body and risk damage due to stress retention.  There are also specific massage therapies catering to pregnant women and young children.

Dr, Petheram and Shelley can help decide which is right for you.  No matter the massage type, patients are more likely to meet with success when massage is an adequate portion of a comprehensive treatment plan. It can greatly contribute to an overall wellness regimen that includes proper diet, exercise and personal care.
