Massage Therapy

Targeted, therapeutic massage designed to improve mobility and support recovery.

Van Meter Massage Therapy

Massage therapy at Van Meter Health is focused on improving movement, reducing muscle tension, and supporting your body’s ability to recover — not providing a spa-style relaxation session. Every massage is tailored to your specific goals, whether that’s decreasing pain, improving mobility, addressing overuse patterns, or speeding up athletic recovery.

Our therapists use a combination of deep tissue techniques, myofascial work, cupping, stretching, and targeted pressure to address the areas that matter most. Sessions are intentional, structured, and designed to complement chiropractic care, soft tissue therapy, or rehabilitation when appropriate.

MASSAGE THERAPY FAQ

Is this a relaxation massage?

No. Our massages are therapeutic and goal-oriented. While they may feel relaxing, the focus is on improving mobility, reducing tension, and supporting recovery.

How much pressure is used?

We adjust pressure based on your comfort and your goals. Deep tissue work is available, but sessions do not need to be painful to be effective.

Can massage therapy help with chronic pain?

Yes. Massage combined with soft tissue work and movement often helps reduce chronic tension and improve long-term function.

Does massage pair well with chiropractic or rehab?

Absolutely. Massage prepares tissue for adjustments and helps reinforce improvements made during rehab sessions.

Can I work out after a massage?

Light activity is fine, but you may feel looser or slightly fatigued. High-intensity training is best saved for later in the day or the next day.

Do you offer prenatal massage?

Yes. Prenatal massage is available and tailored to the needs and comfort of each patient.
