Massage Therapy at Altoona Chiropractic Life Center

With different techniques to address specific problems, manipulating muscles, ligaments, and tendons with just the hands and fingers, massage is a time-tested method of relieving tension in the body.

At Altoona Chiropractic Life Center, our experienced therapist, Jaimie, specializes in myofascial trigger point therapy. She takes the time to understand each client’s unique situation and to create a custom care plan to address those needs.

The Myofascial Trigger Point Difference

When muscles or ligaments are injured, pain can cause the injured muscle to spasm, causing adhesions within the muscle fibers. Known as trigger points, they can remain long after the original spasm has passed.

Trigger points are often described as knots in the muscles and can occur anywhere in the body. Releasing the knot increases blood flow and makes tissue more pliable and flexible, so it stops sending pain alerts to the nervous system.

Combining manual techniques, trigger point work, and myofascial stretching, Jaimie hones in on the root of the discomfort to provide targeted care. A comprehensive examination and testing process helps to accurately diagnose and address the specific areas causing you pain or limitation.

Delivering Benefits for Clients

In 2012, Jaime graduated with a Myofascial Trigger Point Therapy diploma from the Institute of Medical Careers in Pittsburgh, PA. She later went on to become a licensed massage therapist in 2015.

Custom Care for Ultimate Success

Preparing for a massage therapy session is simple; just wear comfortable clothing to allow for ease of movement. Our massage therapy sessions typically range from an hour to an hour and 15 minutes, ensuring clients have ample time to experience the full benefits.
