Massage Therapy
Massage Therapy is a hands-on manipulation of the body's soft tissue (muscles,
tendons, ligaments, connective tissue and joints) to rehabilitate or relieve pain
by acting on muscular, nervous and circulatory systems. It is an extremely versatile
and practical treatment for many conditions.
Registered Massage Therapists (RMT) have a thorough understanding of physiology,
anatomy, kinesiology and pathology. This knowledge helps therapists assess and treat
injuries and conditions accordingly.
Many of us disregard what goes on within our bodies. As a result, we live with aches
and pains unnecessarily. If you've been experiencing stress or pain, consider
the benefits massage therapy offers.
Massage therapy can decrease symptoms and accelerate recovery of every day afflictions
such as headaches, neck, back and shoulder pain. In addition to greatly reducing
anxiety and daily stress; massage therapy’s healing touch gets you back in tune
with your body and increases your overall sense of well being.
