What is massage therapy?

Massage therapy is defined as the manipulation of soft tissues of the body. This includes muscles, connective tissues, tendons, ligaments and joints. Massage therapy is a clinically-oriented healthcare option that can help relieve the discomfort associated with everyday and occupational stresses, muscular over-use and chronic pain conditions. Registered Massage Therapists use their knowledge of physiology and anatomy to combine Swedish and modern massage therapy techniques to treat clients. 

Benefits of massage

There are many benefits that can be achieved through regular massage therapy treatments from a Registered Massage Therapist.  Whether you need to reduce muscle tension, improve joint mobility, increase circulation, reduce/eliminate pain or have a moment of relaxation. A therapeutic massage can enhance your overall sense of physical and emotional well-being. Massage Therapy can also be used as part of a preventative care. This includes sports training, injury prevention and ongoing stress management. Now that massage therapy is considered a mainstream treatment option, many insurance companies provide coverage for treatment.
