Kneaded Relief Massage Therapy joins Red Rock Chiropractic Center

Kaylee Assibey brought her healing touch to Pella in December when Dr. Ryle Smith welcomed Kneaded Relief Massage to the Red Rock Chiropractic Center, P.C. Assibey specializes in several techniques, including prenatal and postpartum massage, hot stone massage, sports and clinical massage, Swedish massage, and shiatsu.

Experience in such a wide range of techniques allows Assibey to individualize treatment for each client. Assibey says in most cases, a combination of the five modalities is appropriate. “I’ll ask questions about places on the body you may be feeling pain and find out how much pressure you prefer. Every body is different, and I want to find the techniques that meet your needs.”

Assibey is excited to be part of the Pella community and is welcoming new clients. “I believe massage therapy has the potential to affect lives in a big way,” she said. “Massage can relieve stress and assist in pain relief. I have had clients trying massage as an alternative to surgery. The combination of the right massage techniques was so successful that surgery was not needed!”

According to Assibey, regular massage can even help prepare pregnant women for delivery by loosening the muscles used during the process.

Care for women during pregnancy is just one example of a situation in which a person receiving massage therapy may also benefit from chiropractic care. According to Dr. Smith, the two therapies are complementary. “A combination of both massage and chiropractic care may result in more thorough healing in a shorter period of time. Patients of Red Rock Chiropractic Center and Kneaded Relief Massage have the benefit of two experienced and caring professionals working together to develop a treatment for their unique needs.”

Assibey is a graduate of the Boulder College of Massage Therapy in Colorado, one of the more extensive training schools in the country for the discipline. She practiced at Elements Massage in Denver, Colorado, before relocating to Iowa with her husband.

Both Kneaded Relief Massage and Red Rock Chiropractic operate out of the chiropractic clinic’s building at 1400 Fifeild Road. Assibey is available Monday through Saturday for sessions of up to 90 minutes. Appointments can be made by calling 641-628-9991.
