Massage therapy can offer relief for a number of medical conditions as well as for stress and anxiety. Massage therapy combined with physiotherapy can reduce pain and decrease recovery time. Our physiotherapists and massage therapists work together and have demonstrated effective results with a team approach.
Massage therapy encourages healing by promoting blood flow and lymph drainage. It loosens and stretches tight muscle and connective tissue and enhances recovery from soft tissue injuries by increasing circulation to injured areas.
There are many different specialized types of massage therapy offered at our clinics. Techniques such as trigger point therapy, sports massage, myofascial release, massage for pregnancy and manual lymph drainage to mention a few. We only hire massage therapists who graduate from recognized schools of massage and who meet membership standards set by local massage college.
Ask your doctor whether both physiotherapy and massage are appropriate for you. Many extended medical benefits cover massage therapy. Check with your extended health administrator for coverage and requirements.
