Services Provided by Our Massage Therapist in Kent
Massage works well alongside the care you receive from a chiropractor in Kent, WA. Adjustments address how the joints move, while massage targets the muscles and connective tissue around them. For patients dealing with pain or an injury, our clinic offers two focused techniques.
Trigger Point Therapy
Trigger points are small, tight areas within a muscle that can cause pain at that spot or in a different part of the body. A knot in the upper shoulder, for example, can send pain toward the head and contribute to tension headaches.
During trigger point therapy, your massage therapist applies steady, focused pressure to these areas until the muscle begins to release. Patients often seek this treatment for neck and shoulder tension, headaches, and muscle pain that hasn’t improved with stretching.
Soft Tissue Mobilization
Soft tissue mobilization addresses muscles, tendons, and fascia that have become restricted after an injury or from repeated strain. Our clinic uses the Graston Technique®, which relies on specially designed stainless steel instruments to locate and treat these areas.
The instruments help detect scar tissue and adhesions that are difficult to feel by hand. This approach is commonly used for whiplash recovery, chronic muscle tightness, and tendon problems, and it’s often paired with therapeutic exercises to improve movement.
