Massage therapy is the manipulation of soft tissues of the body including, muscles, connective tissues, tendons, ligaments and joints. Massage Therapy is a clinically-oriented healthcare option that helps alleviate the discomfort associated with everyday and occupational stresses, muscular over-use and many chronic pain conditions.
Therapeutic massage is an important part of your health maintenance plan, by:
Whether you suffer from back, neck or lower body pain, chronic injuries or muscle tension, our RMTs have the massage for you.
Swedish massage is the best-known and most popular type of massage therapy on which all other massage styles are based. Swedish massage therapy involves mild, moderate or deeper strokes on the back, arms, legs, neck and other body parts to target tissues and muscles for maximal pain relief, stress release and relaxation.
Swedish massage helps promote healing while targeting pain, injuries, stress and stiffness using gliding, kneading, tapping, friction and light shaking—designed to ease back pain and help relaxation.
Pregnancy brings with it an array of aches and pains, as well as extra strain on the muscles and joints of moms-to-be.
Enter prenatal (pregnancy) massage – and the relief that comes with it. Prenatal massage helps ease tension to help with relaxation and pain relief – while keeping mom and baby safe and comfortable.
Prenatal massage can help alleviate pregnancy back pain and increase blood circulation, which can provide more oxygen and nutrients to the baby.
Deep tissue massage takes Swedish massage one step further to address chronic pain and injury. This soothing, therapeutic treatment releases toxins, tension and pain.
A favourite amongst athletes and the people who treat them, deep tissue massage helps release resistant knots to create a better range of motion for joints and muscles.
It focuses on damaged tissue and knots with its deep, precise massage techniques. It uses appropriate pressure to promote the healing of scar tissue as well as relief from the pain of soft tissue injuries, chronic conditions, stress and tension.
Sports massage goes beyond promoting relaxation and pain relief.
It can help improve performance and prevent injury – in addition to helping the body recover from injuries associated with physical activity. Sports can be repetitive, especially for runners, cyclists, racquet sports players and weightlifters. Sports massage helps release that muscle tension and promote tissue repair and muscle balance for a safer next workout.
When an area of the body is tight and tense, it can cause referral pain in another area. That headache? It may actually be referral pain triggered by stiffness in your neck and shoulders. Trigger point therapy uses massage and deep breathing to help alleviate tension and discomfort at the source.
Cupping therapy has been used in massage for decades. It is a form of traditional Chinese medicine that was used for many diseases or skin conditions, and is now known for its use in western massage therapy or physiotherapy.
Cupping therapy is an ancient form of alternative medicine in which a therapist puts special cups on your skin for a few minutes to create suction. People get it for many purposes, including to help with pain, inflammation, blood flow, relaxation and well-being, and as a type of deep-tissue massage.
At The Muscle and Joint Clinic, our Registered Massage Therapists help you harness both the physical and mental benefits of massage such as:
Whatever is making you stressed, it’s not doing your body any favors. Stress can cause you to feel anxious, cause headaches, stomach pains, high blood pressure and sleep disturbances.
Massage can help you work through that stress by releasing muscle tension and tightness and relieving pain. Massage helps you let go of the stress to help relax your body and clear your mind.
Regular massage will help lower your stress levels and improve your overall wellness.
When you are in a state of relaxation, your heart and breathing rates slow down, your blood pressure falls, the production of stress hormones decreases and your muscles relax. Regular massage can help you carry this relaxed state with you and help lower your stress levels as you go about your day.
Massage helps work out the knots, tension, stiffness and pain that life hands you. It gives you the opportunity to free your body and your mind of life’s stresses and feel totally relaxed.
Got cold feet? Try a massage. Help bring oxygen-rich blood to your extremities and your tense, damaged muscles with massage.
Massage’s gentle pressure helps free up congestion to ensure that your whole body benefits from the oxygenated blood being pumped by your heart.
Many of us are guilty of hunching over our desks, laptops and our mobile phones for much of the day.
Massage to the rescue: By loosening tightness, releasing knots and relaxing the stiffness that our days impose on our bodies, we can release tension and stand taller.
Because migraines and headaches are often caused by stress and tension, massage is a great way to help ease and prevent them. Massage helps work past the pain throughout your body to help relax your body and clear your head.
Regular, specialized massage can help you pinpoint the source of your pain and work through it by focusing on releasing knots, relieving aches and muscle stiffness and easing tension.
Massage can help release muscle tension to relieve pain and soreness, release stiffness and reduce your stress levels.
Massage focuses on tense areas to release knots, tightness and tension in the muscles of your back, arms, legs and neck — to help relieve pain and tension and help you relax.
But the benefits don’t end there. When you reduce muscle tension and stress, you help also pave the way for benefits to your flexibility, mood and overall wellness.
