Loosens the muscles: Tight muscles act like rubber bands, pulling your bones out of place. Massage warms up and softens these muscles, taking pressure off your bones.

Makes adjustments easier: When muscles are relaxed, a chiropractor can adjust your joints with greater ease. It requires less force and is more comfortable for you.

Helps adjustments last longer: If you only adjust the bones, tight muscles will quickly pull them out of place again. Massage ensures the muscles are loose, allowing your new alignment to hold longer.
