Massage Therapy in Shelby Township.

On-site therapeutic massage. Not a spa — clinical, targeted muscle work that complements your care.

Overview

Massage that actually treats something.

Massage therapy at Back and Body isn't about candles and relaxation music. It's therapeutic, clinical massage designed to address specific muscle and soft tissue problems that contribute to your pain.

When muscles are tight, they pull bones out of alignment. When fascia is restricted, it limits movement and creates pain. Therapeutic massage addresses these soft tissue components — making chiropractic adjustments more effective and longer-lasting.

Our on-site massage therapist works closely with Dr. Brad to ensure your massage targets the areas that matter most for your recovery. It's coordinated care, not isolated treatment.

Benefits

Why therapeutic massage works.

Releases Muscle Tension

Tight muscles pull your spine out of alignment and cause pain. Massage releases that tension, allowing your body to hold adjustments longer.

Reduces Inflammation

Therapeutic massage improves blood flow and reduces inflammation in injured or overworked tissues, speeding up the healing process.

Complements Chiropractic

Chiropractic adjusts the bones. Massage addresses the muscles. Together, they provide comprehensive care that neither can achieve alone.

Stress & Pain Relief

Beyond structural benefits, massage reduces cortisol, relieves stress, and promotes overall well-being. It helps your body recover from the demands of daily life.

FAQ

Massage questions.

What kind of massage do you offer?
We offer therapeutic massage focused on relieving muscle tension, reducing pain, and supporting chiropractic care. This is not a spa — it is clinical, targeted massage designed to complement your treatment.
Can I get massage without chiropractic?
Yes. While massage and chiropractic work best together, you can book massage therapy on its own. Many patients benefit from both, but there is no requirement to do chiropractic to receive massage.
How long are massage sessions?
Sessions are typically 30 or 60 minutes. Dr. Brad or the massage therapist can recommend the best duration based on your condition and treatment goals.
Does massage help with back pain?
Absolutely. Muscle tension often accompanies and worsens structural back problems. Therapeutic massage releases that tension, reduces inflammation, and helps chiropractic adjustments hold longer.
