Massage therapy is the hands-on manipulation of the soft tissues of your body including your joints, muscles, connective tissue, tendons and ligaments.
Massage therapy is a safe and natural health alternative that can help alleviate soft tissue discomfort associated with everyday and occupational stresses, muscular overuse, trauma and other musculoskeletal disorders. It encourages the body's own healing process, which decreases healing time, and is an excellent form of preventative health care.
Benefits of massage:
1. Decrease or elimination of musculoskeletal pain
2. Recommended for conditions including, but not limited to:
- plantar fasciitis, ITB syndrome, shin splints
- headaches, neck pain, whiplash, thoracic outlet syndrome
- low back pain, postural disorders, scoliosis, sciatica
- diabetes, lymphatic disorders, edema
- improved circulation of blood and movement of sluggish lymph fluids
- stress relief

Massage therapy is very effective when added to your existing physiotherapy or rehabilitation program, or as an added component to your wellness/fitness plan.
