Massage Therapy

A registered massage therapist uses hands-on techniques on the soft tissues of the body (muscles, tendons, ligaments, connective tissue and joints) to relieve symptoms of stress, discomfort, pain and muscle patterning.  Therapeutic massage can be beneficial for most conditions and is suitable for all ages.  It should be an important part of your health maintenance program.

Massage therapy is widely used for relief of problems such as:

• Stress
• Inflammatory conditions such as arthritis and tendonitis
• Headaches
• Chronic pain
• Muscle spasm, strains, ligament sprains
• Back pain
• Jaw pain, stiffness, clenching (TMJ syndrome)
• Pregnancy and labour discomfort
