Message Therapy at Absolute Wellness Center

At Absolute Wellness Center, we view the body as a complex and integrated system where physical, mental, and chemical health go hand in hand.  We believe that without addressing all of these elements, true healing cannot be obtained.  We integrate many forms of healthcare to help maximize our patients' optimal health potential.  One of the services we provide is massage therapy at the Lake of the Ozarks.

What is Massage Therapy?

Massage is an excellent drug-free, natural approach to improving overall health and improving musculoskeletal efficiency.  Massage therapy involves manual manipulation of soft body tissue including muscles, connective tissue, tendons, and ligaments.  People seek massage therapy for a number of reasons such as reducing stress, relaxing tight muscles, rehabilitating injuries, and improving health and wellness. 

Receiving massage at least once per month has a host of preventative benefits.  In keeping with this mentality and regimen, you will have a significantly higher chance of relieving stress and minimizing pain and injury.  Additionally, your body will be in top form and better at fending off disease.

Benefits of Massage Therapy

Massage has positive effects on both the body and the mind such as removing toxins that can build up in the muscles, increasing circulation, and increasing flexibility in the muscles and connective tissue in the body.  Throughout the years, massage therapy has been known to fight a large number of conditions.  Some of the benefits of this therapy include relief from joint and muscle pain, increased blood circulation, and depression reduction.  The overall desired result of massage therapy is to bring the body back to its natural state with increased healing capabilities.

Massage therapy is recommended for a number of conditions and illnesses including arthritis, TMJ dysfunction, immune system issues, muscle spasms, insomnia, fibromyalgia, and many others.  It is an excellent way to help the body heal itself naturally and get rid of any potential toxins that build up in the system.

Types of Massage Therapy

  • Relaxation Massage: We offer relaxation massages that leave you feeling refreshed and like you pressed the Reset button on your body.  These are great for stress relief and prevention.
  • Swedish Massage: Swedish massage is the most common type of massage therapy and what many people think of when they hear the word 'massage.' This type of massage uses a variety of manual movements such as sweeping, kneading, rolling, friction, and rhythmic tapping.
  • Sports Massage: Sports massage focuses on treating soft tissue aches, pains, and injuries that are associated with sports, exercise, or other recreational activities.  Recovery is an important part of sports training and it is crucial for reaching your optimal performance.
  • Pregnancy Massage: Pregnancy massage or prenatal passage helps your pregnancy aches and pains.  It is similar to a regular massage in that it relaxes tense muscles, eases soreness, and improves circulation and mobility, but it is customized to the special needs of pregnant women and their bodies.
  • Youth Massage: Youth or pediatric massage has been shown to improve restful sleep, reduce stress, reduce growing pains, and address muscle tone imbalances.  Children suffer from physical strain the same way adults do in addition to the tension of their growing bodies.
To prevent the body and mind from disease, we must take a comprehensive approach that includes nutrition, exercise, and overall chiropractic care in addition to massage therapy.  At Absolute Wellness Center, we provide many different types of healthcare at the Lake of the Ozarks with the goal of helping our clients reach their optimal health potential.  Give us a call, visit our website, or come into our health center in Linn Creek, MO to discover how we can help you reach your health and wellness goals.
