When your body is dealing with pain, it can be tough to deal with even the most routine errands.

Massage Therapy in Ankeny IA
Massage therapy is a healing practice which can enhance an individual’s wellness and physiological performance. A massage can have a positive impact on the physique and psyche of a person. A shortlist of the amazing effects a massage can have include: shuttling toxins away from soft tissues, improving blood flow, and improving the resilience of the body’s many fibers and joints.
Massage therapy has also been known to assist in treating muscle spasms and muscle trauma. The reason this is the case is that a massage reduces the amount of time it takes to recover by improving the flow of the circulatory system. This, in turn, allows the body to recover faster naturally.
A massage at a chiropractic clinic can help with innumerable symptoms such as back pain, healing from medical procedures, headaches and migraines, insomnia, and much more.
Advantages of Massage Therapy
The advantages of massage therapy are heralded and known across the world. It has been well-documented that massage can treat a large number of symptoms. Just a couple of the advantages that massage therapy can afford an individual include, extremity pain relief, improved blood flow, improved mood, and reduced physical and mental pressure. Massage therapy is also excellent at eliminating the body of toxins. All of the advantages of massage therapy combine to result in an all-natural treatment that can help a person’s body perform at its very best in all dimensions of health.
Massage Therapy and Chiropractic Care
Chiropractic and massage are similar in that they both utilize the careful application of physical force on an individual's body in order to activate the body’s healing response. Once these treatments are complete, the body tends to undergo a restoration and any aches and pains are diminished and life becomes increasingly pain-free.
It is not necessary to choose between massage therapy and chiropractic since both are excellent treatments that complement each other well. There are many individuals living healthier lifestyles that serve as proof of the healing properties of these treatments.
The reason why massage therapy and chiropractic care work well together is because:
- Massage prolongs the effects of a chiropractic adjustment
- Chiropractic adjustments make it easier for a massage to affect the body
- Improved flexibility between the two treatments ensure the full benefits of said treatments are realized
What is Rolfing®?
Originally developed by Ida P. Rolf, Ph. D., Rolfing is a type of bodywork involving hands-on connective tissue manipulation and body education, focusing on structural alignment and balanced movement. The work is typically applied in a series of ten sessions, known as the Basic 10 Series.
The main goal of the ten series is to systematically balance and optimize both the structure (shape) and function (movement) of the entire body. Each session focuses on releasing restrictions in different parts of the body, building upon the work of the previous session while preparing for the work of the following. We start with superficial fascia in sessions 1 - 3, then move deeper in the "core" sessions 4 - 7, and finish with the integrative session 8 - 10 where we incorporate more of the movement education and apply it to the client's daily activities. It's a process of education in which the Rolfer seeks to help the client discover the most efficient way of using his or her own body.
Sessions are approximately 75 minutes in length. Throughout the session, the client may receive work while lying on the table and/or seated at a bench. There will also be opportunities for the client to move naturally around the room and partake in simple movement education strategies. This allows the client to tune into their body and fully experience the changes happening, while allowing the practitioner asses the structural change. Please wear appropriate attire for the session: men - athletic shorts or boxer briefs, women - sports bra (preferably one without straps that cross in the back) and underwear or athletic shorts.
