What is Massage Therapy?

Massage therapy is the manual manipulation of the soft tissues of the body, to achieve a therapeutic response. It enhances the function of muscles and joints. It improves the circulation of the blood and lymph, relieves pain and stress, and may reduce blood pressure. Massage therapy has a sedative, calming effect.
Massage therapy is designed to rehabilitate, maintain or improve physical function by performing manipulation techniques.
Massage can help people of all ages and activity levels manage discomfort associated with work related stress, arthritis, athletic pursuits, injuries, motor vehicle accidents, whiplash, pre and post pregnancy, tension headaches, jaw pain, degenerative disc disease, anxiety and more. Massage can be a valuable tool in conjunction with other complimentary treatments such as physiotherapy, chiropractic and osteopathy and is a great tool in preventative health care
