There are many benefits in adding stretching to accompany chiropractic care. It aids in repairing the body, improving the core, mobility and spine function.
Stretching to Support a Healthy Spine-
Muscle tension can pull the spine out of alignment, which counteracts the chiropractic care you receive. If one side of your back is tense it can pull on the spine sending it off balance.
The goal of stretching as part of a chiropractic support is to loosen the muscles that support the spine, therefore keeping your spine aligned and muscles around that area to be tension free.
Increases flexibility –
Stretching also improves your flexibility, making your everyday tasks easier to perform, such as lifting things or simply bending over to tie your shoelaces.
Improved posture –
Everyday stretching helps your muscles from becoming tight, permitting you to uphold a better posture.
Stretching also improves your sleep and stress levels, prevents injury, increases strengths and energy.

Massage – Remedial
When muscles and tendons become damaged or impaired, knotted and tense or immobile, Remedial Massage provides a healing treatment that can be gentle or strong, deep or shallow. Remedial massage holistically treats the whole body and traces the discomfort as far as possible back to the original cause, healing both the cause of the disorder as well as the symptoms.
Remedial Massage Technique
It uses several specialised techniques to locate and repair damage and to support and speed up the body’s own repair mechanisms. The massage is applied directly to the skin using a lubricating medium, usually oil, which ensures that the muscles associated with the disorder and mobilisation of the joint are deeply penetrated. Passive stretching moves are also used. Benefits of Remedial Massage Key benefits of Remedial Massage include: the stimulation to the blood supply allowing toxins in the muscles to be removed; the calming of the peripheral nervous system to ease pain and discomfort; and the toning and relaxing of muscles to improve joint mobility. An improvement to the health of the cells, the repairing of tissues, and the easing of stiffness and tension can also be experienced through therapeutic relaxation.
Muscular and skeletal dysfunctions often addressed with Remedial Massage include Fibrositis, Spondylitis, Arthritis, frozen shoulder, muscular cramps, Whiplash, muscular atrophy, sports and dancing injuries.
Sessions usually take 30 minutes to an hour, depending on the whether the practitioner will just address a specific area or give a whole body massage.
