Massage that actually treats something.
Massage in Shelby Township 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.
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.

Your massage session.
Consultation
Your therapist reviews your condition and treatment goals. If you are also seeing Dr. Brad, your massage is coordinated with your chiropractic care for maximum benefit.
Treatment
Targeted, therapeutic massage focused on your problem areas. Techniques are selected based on your specific condition — deep tissue, trigger point, myofascial release, or a combination.
Follow-Up
Your therapist discusses what they found, recommends stretches or self-care, and coordinates with Dr. Brad on your overall treatment plan.
Dr. Brad treats every patient with the same philosophy: thorough diagnosis, personalized care, and real results. Your treatment plan is built around your specific condition and goals. Come when you need to. Stop when you're feeling good. You're in control of your care.

Massage in Shelby Township that works with your chiropractic care
Looking for massage in Shelby Township that does more than relax you? Back and Body Chiropractic Center, 55130 Van Dyke Ave #25, has an on-site massage therapist who works alongside Dr. Bradley Krawczyk. The massage is clinical and targeted: sports massage, back-focused massage, deep tissue, trigger point therapy and myofascial release.
Sessions are typically 30 or 60 minutes, and Dr. Brad or the massage therapist can recommend the best length for your goals. Massage works well alongside chiropractic care. Tight muscles can pull on the spine and restricted fascia limits motion, so releasing them can make adjustments hold longer. If your pain starts at a disc, spinal decompression is addressed first and massage helps calm the muscle guarding around it.
Not sure which style you need? Our guide to the six massage types in Shelby Township walks through them. For stubborn tendon or joint pain, SoftWave therapy can be added to the plan, and back pain treatment is our most common reason for visits.
Who is it for? Desk workers with tight shoulders and a sore low back, athletes recovering from hard training, and anyone whose muscles stay tense between adjustments. Tell the therapist where it hurts and what you do all day, and the session is built around that. Because the therapist and Dr. Brad share your plan, nothing is done in isolation and you are not asked to commit to a package.
