Remedial Massage Therapy at Forest Lake Chiropractic

Relax, improve your sleep and assist recovery from sports training and injury with our high-quality remedial massage therapy.

Meet Marko, Our Physical Therapist

Marko is our qualified and nurturing physical therapist; he will begin with an initial assessment and chat regarding your wants and needs. He will tailor each remedial massage treatment to your goals and preferences so that we can assist you in the best way possible.

Remedial massage can be enjoyed with very minimal discomfort, and the intensity of the massage can be scaled up or down depending on your condition and desired outcome.

The process works in tandem with your body’s natural healing processes, accelerating and spurring on efficient recovery. Like a standard relaxation massage, remedial treatments may help to place you in a fully relaxed state-of-mind, especially beneficial after periods of high stress.

Types of Massage We Offer

Discuss your preferred style of massage with our therapists during your appointment.
At our Forest Lake practice, the following forms of massage are available:

Dry Needling

Dry needling is performed by professionally trained, certified, and skilled therapists to reduce local and referred pain. Thin, flexible filiform needles are used in the procedure to gently penetrate the skin and treat the specific trigger points associated and connected to neuro-musculo-skeletal pain and movement impairments. Filiform needles are fine, short and do not inject fluid into the body hence it being “dry”. Dry needling may be used to treat all injury prone areas i.e. the neck, shoulders, spine, upper back, lower back, hip, knee, ankle, and heel pain. Dry needling may have the ability to releases knots in the muscle and tissue, allowing relief of muscle pain and spasms.

Sports Injury Massage

Remedial massage helps to provide relief and improved recovery time from injuries and also from intensive training.

Deep Tissue Massage

This massage involves applying firm pressure and slow strokes to reach deeper layers of the muscle.
