Why Massage Therapy?
Massage Therapy increases circulation, stimulating the lymph system, reduces spasms & cramping, improves your range of motion.
At Tieszen Chiropractic and Massage we offer talented, licensed Massage Therapists to help you live a pain free, healthy happy life.
Active Anchorage lifestyles can cause a variety of stresses to the body that can be reduced through therapeutic massage treatments. Whether you are an outdoors enthusiast taking advantage of the Alaskan wilderness or a in a physically demanding profession we have the experienced professional to help you.
Massage therapy complements the therapeutic effects of spinal adjustments by relieving habitual patterns of tension in the soft tissue surrounding and supporting the skeleton. Soft tissue is composed of muscles, ligaments, tendons, and a thin sheath of connective tissue called fascia. Licensed massage therapists have received training in identifying problem areas and relieving symptoms of stress and injury.
Following are the many benefits of massage:
- alleviate pain caused by tension
- soften and relax injured, tired, and overused muscles
- reduce muscle spasmas
- increase joint flexibility
- improve range of motion

Types of Massage
Swedish Massage - This is a gentle form of massage that uses long strokes, kneading, deep circular movements, vibration and tapping to help relax and energize you.
Deep-Tissue Massage - This massage technique uses slower, more forceful strokes to target the deeper layers of muscle and connective tissue. It is commonly used to help with muscle damage from injuries and chronic patterns of tension.
Sports Massage - This is similar to Swedish massage but is geared toward people involved in sport activities to help prevent or treat injuries.
Trigger Point Massage - This massage focuses on trigger points, or sensitive areas of tight muscle fibers that can form in your muscles after injuries or overuse.
Active Release Techniques® - ART is a patented, state of the art soft tissue system/movement based massage technique that treats problems with muscles, tendons, ligaments, fascia and nerves. Headaches, back pain, carpal tunnel syndrome, shin splints, shoulder pain, sciatica, plantar fasciitis, knee problems, and tennis elbow are just a few of the many conditions that can be resolved quickly and permanently with ART.
Thai Massage - This type of massage involves stretching and deep massage. This form of bodywork is usually performed on the floor, and the client wears comfortable clothes that allow for movement. No oils are used in Thai massage.
