Northstar Chiropractic Wellness Center offers massage therapy at our Chicago IL clinic, and conveniently located for clients from the Naperville IL, Downers Grove IL, and Lisle IL areas. Massage is a form of body work that involves the manipulation of muscles, tendons, joints, connective tissue, and sometimes the lymphatic and gastrointestinal organs. The effects of massage include relief from pain, reduced anxiety, temporary lowering of heart rate and blood pressure, increased immune function, and more. Massage works well with other healing therapies and can be used as a complementary therapy to increase the efficacy of other modalities.
The types of massage therapy currently being offered by Northstar Chiropractic Wellness Centers are:
Deep Tissue Massage: Deep Tissue Massage is designed to provide relief for those with severe muscular or facial tension. Athletes, people who regular engage in heavy physical activity, are in constant pain, or those with physical injuries are good candidates for this type of massage. Deep tissue massage focuses on the deep muscles layers and connective tissue in the body and can result in soreness after a treatmetn, although it is not painful to experience.
Shiatsu: Shiatsu is a Japanese form of massage that translates literally to "finger massage." Essentially, the practitioner uses only their fingers (especially the thumb) and palm to place pressure on points on the body that are connected to the central and autonomic nervous system. Shiatsu heals by using the body's ability to heal itself and stimulating the immune system.
Thai Massage: Thai massage combines deep massage work with stretches that are similar to yoga postures. Clothed in comfortable, loose-fitting clothing, a recipient of Thai Massage is placed into stretches by the massage therapist, who will use their hands, feet, knees and legs to move and massage the recipient. This is a dynamic form of massage that is both relaxing and invigorating. It improves flexibility, range of motion and circulation as well as relieving stress.
Tui Na: Tui Na is a Chinese modality of massage that works along the meridians of the body to remove blockages and stimulate the flow of blood and qi to promote healing in the body. Tui Na utilizes kneading, tapping and pressing on the body in order to do so, ranging from light touch to deep tissue work.
