Massage therapy is a form of manual therapy where the soft tissues and joints of the body are manipulated using a variety of touch based techniques. These techniques treat the entire body, having the greatest effect on the musculoskeletal, nervous, circulatory and lymphatic systems. The basic philosophy of massage therapy encompasses the concept of vis medicatrix naturae, aiding the ability of the body to heal itself and aimed at achieving or increasing health and well-being.
Touch is the fundamental medium of massage therapy, it is applied with sensitivity to the patients comfort level and is appropriate to the condition being treated.
Our Registered Massage Therapists integrate general Swedish massage techniques with joint play and mobilization, trigger point therapy, manual lymphatic drainage and remedial exercises, all to best treat your specific concerns.
The purpose of massage therapy is to prevent, develop, maintain, rehabilitate or augment physical function or relieve pain.
