The Kansas City Chiropractor to see - Chiropractor Kansas City

Massage Therapy

Massage is a natural method by which minor aches and pains can be soothed away while bringing relief from stress, tension, and fatigue. The effects of massage differ from one client to another depending on the needs of the individual and the goals and intentions with which the massage is administered. Many healthy people believe that frequent massage helps them to remain physically, mentally, and emotionally fit.

Therapeutic effects of massage include general relaxation, increased metabolism through improved circulation; an injury heals more quickly, and improves the detoxifying functions of the lymphatic system.

Massage therapy compliments chiropractic care by relaxing tense muscles that are aggravating subluxations.  Chiropractic care corrects the spine and restores the nervous system. When combining massage therapy with chiropractic care, most people get faster and longer lasting results.

We have a wonderful team of nationally certified therapists that are well qualified to perform deep tissue, Swedish, sports injury, hot stone, prenatal, lymphatic drainage and myofascial release massage therapy.

Michael Bittner LMT, NCMTB

I specialize in you, the overworked and overstressed individual. I provide a wide range of massage techniques, combining elements of each to customize a massage treatment specific to each individual client's needs. From the strongest pressure to the lightest touch, I sense my client's needs and respond accordingly. I am a graduate of Heritage College and have been a Massage Therapist for over 5 years. I've been exclusive to Adjust4Life Wellness Center for the majority of my career and believe my experience has calibrated my intuition of the body to allow me to provide an absolutely amazing massage experience.

Margaret Allen, LMT, NCMTB

Maggie is passionate about the work she does as a massage therapist.  Maggie graduated in 1999 from Colorado School of Healing Arts with 1000 hours of training in massage therapy.  She has additional training in sports massage, pre-natal and infant massage, lymphatic drainage and cranio-sacral therapy.  Maggie is also an instructor at Heritage College where she teaches a variety of massage therapy classes. Maggie believes that the benefits of massage therapy can be fully realized when combined with chiropractic care. By working in conjunction with a chiropractor who can remove the subluxations within the body, massage will work to keep the body relaxed and minimize the subluxations from occurring.

Joshua Lievsay, LMT, NCTMB

Joshua is a Licensed Massage Therapist who graduated from Heritage college in January 2007 with an Associates Degree in Occupational Massage Therapy.  He loves what he does and doesn't even really consider it work.  For him it's more of a honor and a privilege to be a key part in the improvement of his client's lives.  He has a greater interest in deep tissue and hot stone massage, and doesn't want people to just momentarily feel better, but rather be better.  He believes to work out Trigger Points and adhesions you have to be more stubborn than they are.  Fortunately Josh has a long family history of very stubborn people.
