Massage Therapy

Delivered by a regulated health practitioner, massage therapy provides treatment for physical dysfunction and pain of the soft tissues and joints as well as preventative intervention.

 Whether your interest is sports injury treatment, pregnancy massage, relaxation or healing from chronic or acute conditions, a massage therapist can physically stretch muscles, inhibit muscle spasm, and increase range of motion.

 A massage therapist is trained to assess and treat soft tissues of the human body, (muscles, tendons, ligaments, fascia and other connecting tissue) and give you the relief and attention you deserve. Your massage therapist may also include as part of your session, range of motion testing, hydrotherapy and a self care program that you can follow at home between treatments to further lessen or eliminate the soft tissue problem.

Massage therapy will also reduce emotional stress, which in turn will reduce or eliminate the production of stress chemicals in the body. These stress chemicals can be harmful to the body over long periods of time; however massage therapy can reduce their effect and can slow a busy, overworked mind and centre a person. 

Massage Therapy is a form of body maintenance and beneficial for the continuance of good health. Let the healing touch of massage therapy be part of your wellness program.
