What Are the Four Pressure Levels of Massage?
If massage therapy is part of your treatment plan, Dr. Lemons will collaborate with our licensed massage therapist to ensure your session is tailored to your needs. For example, you’ll receive the correct level of therapeutic pressure that’s right for you.
The four pressure levels of therapeutic massage are:
- Level 1: Light, relaxing pressure
- Level 2: Medium pressure
- Level 3: Medium to deep pressure, including trigger point therapy
- Level 4: Very deep pressure, including trigger point therapy
Benefits of Massage Therapy
Once you experience the therapeutic power of massage therapy, you’ll likely want to book more sessions. In fact, our practitioners may recommend getting a therapeutic massage once per month or once every couple of weeks. Massage therapy can be appropriate for individuals with a wide range of issues, such as headaches, sports injuries, neck pain, nerve pain, and digestive disorders.
Massage therapy can offer the following benefits:
- Enhanced circulation
- Decreased muscle stiffness and pain
- Lower joint inflammation
- Better flexibility
- Stronger immune response
- Faster recovery between workouts
Can You Combine Massage With Chiropractic?
By themselves, both massage therapy and chiropractic care can be an effective way to support recovery and improve overall wellness. If your concerns primarily involve soft tissue issues, then you may need only massage therapy. If your medical issue involves the skeletal system as well; however, you might benefit from combining the two modalities.
