Registered Massage Therapy

Massage therapy treatment combines kneading, stretching, pressure, and percussion of the muscles with active and passive movement of the joints to relieve tension and restore balance and posture, facilitating recovery from acute soft-tissue injuries, and chronic or repetitive muscle strain.

What is massage therapy?

Massage therapy is the manipulation of the soft tissues of the body for the purpose of restoring those tissues to a healthy state, free from pain and dysfunction. It combines kneading, stretching, pressure, and percussion of the muscles with active and passive movement of the joints to relieve tension and restore balance and posture, facilitating recovery from acute soft-tissue injuries, and chronic or repetitive muscle strain.

What conditions can massage therapy treat?

Massage therapy can treat a variety of common conditions, including:

• muscle spasms, trigger points, tears and strains
• joint injuries, such as sprains and ligament tears
• repetitive strain injuries
• neurological pain and compressions
• delayed onset muscle soreness
• chronic pain and tensions due to postural changes and dysfunctions
• injuries to the back (facet joint irritation, bulging, herniated or degenerated discs)
