A treatment at ACT Massage has two goals. The first part is Therapeutic Massage (deep tissue) designed to relax and strengthen the muscles. By releasing the tension in the muscles it provides more flexibility, By pumping the muscles, to increase the flow of blood, the muscles are worked out, just like lifting weights. This is why you will feel like you had a workout after a treatment and why you experience soreness for the next several days. The second part is using isometric stretches to realign the joints so you are Anatomically Correct (re-aligned). These are much softer techniques compared to other types of Manual Medicine, which means they are easier on your body, but get the same or better results.
