Massage therapy is the manual manipulation of soft tissues (muscle, ligament, tendon etc) with the main purpose of decreasing pain by improving muscle and joint function. A massage therapy treatment will also help improve the body's overall blood flow and lymphatic circulation which will speed the healing process and improve the function of the immune system.

Massage therapists have the specialized training to assess and treat the majority of soft tissue injuries along with other conditions that may negatively affect your life and well-being. Some of the many examples include strains, sprains, tendonitis, bursitis, fibromyalgia, whiplash, headaches and a variety of conditions affecting the central nervous system (Multiple sclerosis, Cerebral palsy...) and peripheral nervous system (carpal tunnel syndrome, sciatic nerve lesions, thoracic outlet syndrome...). Massage therapy can be effective in treating conditions before and after surgery, for example hip or shoulder surgery. Many pregnant women find massage very therapeutic during and after pregnancy. Massage therapy can also be very beneficial for children alleviating stress, helping with sleep and digestive issues, and many of the injuries or conditions you would treat an adult for. Finally, Sports Massage is extremely beneficial for all levels of athletes. Massage during training helps you maximize your training and recover quickly from your workouts and massage prior to your events or games can have you at your peak for your race or game.

Using specialized techniques, massage therapists have the ability to reduce muscle pain and spasm, decrease scar tissue, decrease tissue swelling and improve the range of motion and function of a joint. When you visit your massage therapist, they will perform an assessment to determine the best treatment plan for your individual needs. All treatments will be explained to you and proceed only with your understanding and consent. This will usually include therapeutic massage, stretching, possible joint mobilizations, possible use of hydrotherapy and an exercise plan to aid in rehabilitation and prevention. Your massage therapist will provide education on your condition if needed and specific hydrotherapy and exercises for your condition. Along with all the physical benefits, there are also the psychological benefits that include relaxation and thus stress management, which will improve your heart rate and blood pressure.
