"Ahhhh..." is music to a massage therapist's ear!
Massage therapy is usually thought of for relaxation, but massage therapy can be so much more when tied together with chiropractic techniques. Massage treatment administered in the chiropractic office goes for the "Ahhhh..." response as well as more targeted soft tissue and muscle work to relieve tightness and allow the adjustment's realignment of bones and its resulting pain relief to last a bit longer. Massage therapy stays right in line with the Cox Technic protocols.
