What Is Massage Therapy?
Massage therapy focuses on the muscles, fascia, and other soft tissues that influence how you move and how you feel. At Everett Spine & Rehab, massage is often used to help reduce stress and muscle tension, improve circulation, and support recovery—especially when pain or stiffness causes your body to “guard” and tighten surrounding areas.
When muscles and fascia stay tight for too long, they can limit range of motion and contribute to tender spots (often called trigger points) that may refer discomfort into nearby areas. Therapeutic massage helps calm the nervous system, improve tissue mobility, and support healthier movement patterns—so you can get back to work, exercise, and daily activities more comfortably.
We provide massage therapy in Everett, WA and welcome patients from Mill Creek, Lynnwood, Mukilteo, Lake Stevens, Marysville, Snohomish, Edmonds, Bothell, and surrounding Snohomish County.

Massage Therapy in Everett for Injuries, Pain, and Recovery
Massage therapy can support a wide range of concerns, especially when used as part of a coordinated plan that may include chiropractic care and physical therapy.
Common reasons patients request massage therapy include:
- Auto accident injuries (including whiplash-related tightness)
- Sports injuries and overuse strain
- Work-related injuries (lifting, repetitive motion, physically demanding jobs)
- Sprains, strains, and muscle tension flare-ups
- Sudden back, neck, shoulder, or hip tightness
- Headaches or migraine-related tension patterns
- Chronic muscle tension conditions (as appropriate for your situation)
Our Everett Licensed Massage Therapists
Our team of licensed massage therapists (LMPs) use a variety of techniques to address soft tissue restrictions and trigger points. Depending on your needs, sessions may include gentle kneading, stretching, and targeted pressure to help improve mobility and ease discomfort. Massage may also support circulation and help tissues relax so your body can move more naturally during rehab.
How Massage Therapy Supports Chiropractic Adjustments
Massage therapy is a strong complement to chiropractic care because joints and muscles work together. Tight muscles and restricted fascia can continue pulling on joints—even after an adjustment—making it harder to maintain comfortable, stable alignment.
By addressing soft tissue tension, massage can help:
- Reduce muscle guarding that limits joint movement
- Improve comfort before or after an adjustment
- Support better posture and movement patterns
- Enhance rehab progress when paired with PT
