Pat Hill, C.M.T. Certified Massage Therapist Aston Chiropractic Pat Hill is a 2004 graduate from the National Massage Therapy Institute in Wilmington, DE. Pat specializes in Swedish Massage and uses a variety of techniques specifically designed to relax muscles by applying pressure to them against deeper muscles and bones, and rubbing in the same direction as the flow of blood returning to the heart. Swedish massage shortens recovery time from muscular strain by flushing the tissues of lactic acid, uric acid, and other metabolic wastes. It increases circulation without increasing heart load. It stretches the ligaments and tendons keeping them supple and pliable. Swedish Massage also stimulates the skin and nervous system and soothes the nerves themselves at the same time. It reduces stress, both emotional and physical, and is suggested in a regular program for stress management. Chiropractic and massage therapy, used in combination, form a powerful healing approach that addresses pain on many levels. While chiropractic restores normal alignment of the spine and joints, massage therapy promotes balance among the interrelated systems of the body; by increasing circulation and lymphatic flow, the body can cleanse itself of toxins that contribute to a wide array of disorders.
