Massage Therapy at Port City Chiropractic
While you may think of massage as a luxurious spa treatment, massage can benefit everyone. Massage helps your lymphatic system and musculoskeletal system, and that reports back to the nervous system and allows your brain to take a break.
As there’s so much stress in the world right now, I can’t imagine someone not getting a massage. It’s an easy way to make sure you get some time to relax.
– Dr. Shapiro

Types of Massage
Christy, our massage therapist, is highly experienced and skilled in providing both Swedish and deep tissue massage. Here’s a look at these two types of massage and how they may benefit you:
- Swedish – This is the best known and most widely used type of massage therapy today. Swedish massage is a gentle, full-body type of massage that uses five different techniques. Swedish massage relieves stress, promotes relaxation, and increases circulation.
- Deep tissue – With this type of massage, you can get relief from musculoskeletal issues that include sports injuries and strains. Deep tissue massage applies sustained pressure using deep strokes.
