Massage Therapy

Therapeutic massage involves manipulation of the soft tissue structures of the body to prevent and alleviate pain, discomfort, muscle spasm, and stress.

It also improves functioning of the circulatory, lymphatic and nervous systems and may improve the rate at which the body recovers from injuries and illness. Massage comes in many forms, including:

  • Swedish - a gentle, relaxing massage
  • Pressure Point Therapy for specific disease or injuries - from trigger point and myotherapy to shiatsu and acupressure
  • Sports massage focuses on muscle groups relevant to a particular sport.

Dr. Murray Asks some important questions of interest to Glasgow residents - Chiropractor Glasgow Dr. Murray Asks...

What's the difference between sick care and health care?
Sick care is largely about relieving or suppressing symptoms. Health care is about improving performance. While sick care is about how you feel, health care is about how you function. Sick care is what you do to treat an obvious problem, and health care is what you do to avoid the problem and advance your well-being.
Would you rather feel good or be healthy?
Ask most people in Glasgow and they want to feel good. Careful! Would you take medicine that makes you feel good, rather than vomit to expel improperly prepared food? Every chiropractic patient knows that you can't measure your health by how you feel. True health is when your body works as it should.
