Get Ready for an Active Summer with a Massage Therapy Session

Spring is in full swing in North Carolina and summer is right around the corner. With the nicer weather comes the opportunity to get outside and enjoy the weather with fun activities like hiking, biking, swimming, volleyball, and baseball to name a few. Are you mentally ready to go out and enjoy these outdoor activities, but are physically holding back because of a back pain, neck pain or sports injury that limits your mobility? At Graybar Chiropractic and Rehabilitation Centers, we can help you find relief from pain and increase your mobility. We want you to get out there and enjoy the summer with your friends and family.

In addition to chiropractic care, we offer massage therapy at our three locations in Wilmington, Wallace and Clinton. Massage therapy has a wide range of applications and benefits, especially for active individuals that enjoy sports and fitness. The most common types of massage are Swedish, Chair, Sports, and Deep Tissue and all four are a great complement to chiropractic care. The benefits of massage can include pain relief, increased mobility and flexibility, mental and muscular relaxation, and release of the body’s natural painkiller – endorphins.

While it is a great idea to schedule your mother for a massage for Mother’s Day, it is also a great idea to schedule yourself for a massage. Even if you are feeling great and not experiencing any aches or pains, a massage can help you reach your optimal performance level. Massages are a great way to prepare for physical exertion and can also help prevent injuries. 

At Graybar Chiropractic & Rehabilitation Centers, we encourage patients to join that summer soccer league, play on their employer’s softball team, and train for that half-marathon. We recommend preparing for these types of activities by checking in with us and scheduling a massage to prevent possible injuries. Stay safe and enjoy the summer weather!
