Massage therapy is much more than a relaxation technique. The ancient practice of massage has been used for thousands of years to ease muscle tension, relieve pain, improve circulation, and increase flexibility. At Family Chiropractic, our licensed massage therapists (CMTs) combine manual therapies with state-of-the-art technology to identify your source of discomfort and bring you relief. All massage therapy treatments are overseen by Drs. Piazza, ensuring you receive comprehensive care that is not limited to your time on the massage table. Massage therapies at Family Chiropractic go hand-in-hand with chiropractic care to restore muscle balance and tone. Just one visit to Family Chiropractic can significantly improve your quality of life. We know because we’ve been serving citizens of Redwood City for over 40 years. Contact us now to schedule a massage Family Chiropractic massage therapist Robin Piazza has over 20 years of experience and specializes in a range of massage techniques:
  • Deep tissue massage: Deep tissue massage restores the deepest layers of muscle and tissue. Your massage therapist will apply gentle pressure to areas of discomfort, increasing blood flow to fascia, tendons, and ligaments.
  • Sports massage: Athletes often overwork certain muscles, which can lead to tension and discomfort. A sports massage provides extra care to muscle groups after intense activity. This reduces the likelihood of injury, speeds recovery, and improves performance.
  • Prenatal massage: This is a relaxing full-body massage that prepares a pregnant patient’s body for birth. Prenatal massage includes gentle work around the pelvis to facilitate a healthy delivery.
  • Swedish massage: A classic full-body relaxation massage. Your massage therapist will apply gentle pressure and slow strokes to your body to relieve muscle tension. Swedish massage also eases stress and anxiety that can cause muscle strain.
  • Cupping: A technique from ancient Chinese medicine. Your therapist applies suction to the skin over areas of tension and discomfort. This increases blood circulation and repairs tissue.
  • Reflexology: Foot reflexology is a massage of the bottom of the foot. By applying light pressure to the foot, your massage therapist can relieve body-wide discomfort and improve circulation, sleep, pain, and mood.

What Does Therapeutic Massage Care Involve?

Your therapeutic massage therapy will begin with a comprehensive consultation by Dr. Piazza and a licensed CMT. At Family Chiropractic, our aim is to understand the root of your discomfort through careful evaluation of your body, history, and lifestyle. Our holistic approach allows us to develop a customized care plan that works for you. 

Your massage treatment may involve one or more types of massage as well as chiropractic care by Dr. Piazza. Or, if you prefer a specific massage, you can customize your care by building a massage package to fit your schedule and your insurance plan.

The Goal of Therapeutic Massage

The goal of therapeutic massage is to improve your quality of life with non-invasive massage techniques. Our massage therapists deliver gentle, targeted attention to your areas of discomfort, relieving pain and improving well-being in as little as one session. 

A therapeutic massage from a licensed clinic like Family Chiropractic is much different than a spa massage. Our massage therapists are trained to relieve discomfort by manipulating muscles, releasing pressure points, and improving nerve function. They may use their hands or specialized massage tools to accomplish this safely and quickly.
