Better together: Massage and IV

Massage therapy and IV therapy each offer benefits on their own.

But together, they can create an entirely different level of recovery and wellness.

By Misty Thomas, LMT and Dr. Mark Christensen, MD

Massage helps release muscle tension, improve circulation, reduce stress hormones, and promote relaxation throughout the body. Many patients leave feeling physically lighter and mentally reset.

We have licensed massage therapists who pay attention to your body’s unique needs.

IV therapy works from the inside out by helping support hydration, recovery, energy, and overall wellness with physician-directed fluids, vitamins, and nutrient support.

When combined, the benefits often complement each other beautifully:
• Improved relaxation and recovery
• Enhanced hydration after massage
• Support for muscle recovery and fatigue
• Reduced post-workout soreness
• Stress reduction and nervous system reset
• Overall wellness and performance support

Many patients describe the combination as feeling more complete than either treatment alone.

At The Refinery, our physician-led wellness approach focuses on helping patients recover, recharge, and perform at their best — whether you’re an athlete, first responder, busy professional, parent, or simply someone who needs intentional time for recovery.

Sometimes wellness is not about doing more.

Sometimes it’s about finally allowing your body to recover.
