Massage Therapy in Loveland
While you may equate massage therapy with a luxurious spa treatment, this form of bodywork has many health benefits. One of the primary reasons people seek this therapy is that it’s a great tool for stress management, as it allows your body to relax.
Massage is also an excellent tool to help the muscles, ligaments and tissues around the spine and nervous system reset after a chiropractic adjustment has been administered. This type of bodywork helps adjustments make a quicker and faster change to the nervous system.

There are many other benefits associated with massage that you may experience:
- Alleviates anxiety

- Detoxifies the body
- Improves circulation
- Decreases muscle stiffness
- Helps with lymphatic drainage
What to Expect
Next, Tracee LMT will have a conversation about any specific needs or what you’re hoping to achieve during your massage. After your conversation, she will begin your session. She’ll ask some questions to ensure you’re comfortable (e.g. is the massage too intense or too soft?) and whether you’d like something different. This dialogue is critical, as it allows you to get a massage specific to your needs versus have a generic experience.

FAQ
We offer 60-minute and 90-minute sessions.
Do you recommend chiropractic and massage?
Yes, they both complement each other. While chiropractic focuses on the relationship between the spine and how it affects the nervous system, massage focuses on the 650 muscles of the body. Both work in harmony to help keep the body properly aligned, balanced, and functioning optimally.
What should I wear to the appointment?
We recommend you wear comfortable clothing. However, therapeutic massage is typically performed with the client undressed. Rest assured that you will be appropriately draped at all times during your session. While most people undress completely, some choose to leave some clothing on, such as underwear. You decide what level of comfort is right for you. Your therapist will respect your privacy at all times.
