Massage Therapy in Utah
While we offer a wide variety of chiropractic services, some of our most popular options are actually what we call adjunctive therapies, such as Soft Tissue and Massage Therapy.
These therapies don’t deal with spinal alignment but are extremely effective at relieving pain and helping the body to heal faster and more effectively.
While there are plenty of massage therapy options out there, few can claim that they provide said massages with a focused, clinical purpose.
After a careful examination by one of our elite chiropractors, they will tell you what they feel is the best therapy or combination of therapies for your particular situation.

What is the difference between chiropractic care and massage therapy?
Chiropractic care focuses on diagnosing and treating musculoskeletal disorders, particularly those related to spinal alignment and function. Chiropractors use hands-on spinal manipulation and other manual techniques to improve alignment, reduce pain, and enhance mobility. Massage therapy, on the other hand, primarily involves manipulating soft tissues in the body (muscles, tendons, ligaments) to alleviate tension, reduce pain, and promote relaxation.
Can I receive chiropractic care and massage therapy together?
Absolutely! Many patients find that combining chiropractic care with massage therapy offers enhanced benefits. While chiropractic adjustments focus on spinal alignment and overall musculoskeletal health, massage therapy can help relax the muscles surrounding the spine, making adjustments more effective and improving overall treatment outcomes.
What types of massage therapy do you offer?
We offer a variety of massage therapy techniques tailored to meet individual needs, including:
- Swedish Massage
- Deep Tissue Massage
- Sports Massage
- Orthopedic Massage
- Pregnancy Massage
- Pain Management
- Relaxation Techniques
How can massage therapy help with my pain?
Massage therapy can relieve pain by reducing muscle tension, improving circulation, and promoting relaxation. It can also help break down scar tissue, improve flexibility, and support the body’s natural healing processes. This makes it particularly effective for conditions like back pain, sports injuries, and stress-related tension.
Do I need a referral to receive massage therapy?
Typically, you do not need a referral to receive massage therapy. However, if you’re seeking treatment for a specific medical condition, consulting with your chiropractor or healthcare provider for a recommendation is a good idea.
How often should I get a massage?
The frequency of massages depends on individual needs and circumstances. For those recovering from an injury or experiencing chronic pain, more frequent sessions may be beneficial. Conversely, for general wellness and relaxation, once a month or as needed can be effective. We can help you determine the best schedule based on your specific situation.
What should I expect during my first massage therapy session?
During your first session, your therapist will typically conduct a brief consultation to discuss your medical history, any specific areas of concern, and your treatment goals. You’ll then lie on a massage table while the therapist applies various techniques based on your needs. It’s essential to communicate openly about your comfort level and any preferences or concerns during the session.
Is massage therapy safe for everyone?
Massage therapy is generally safe for most individuals, but certain conditions may warrant caution or require a modified approach. Always inform your therapist of any medical conditions, allergies, or injuries before your session. If you’re pregnant or have specific health concerns, consult with your healthcare provider to determine the best approach.
Can massage therapy help prevent injuries?
Yes! Regular massage therapy can help maintain muscle flexibility, improve circulation, and reduce tension, which can all contribute to preventing injuries. Additionally, combining massage with chiropractic care can enhance your overall physical well-being and resilience.
