Registered Massage Therapy
Registered Massage Therapists (RMTs) utilize massage therapy to address various soft tissue and joint conditions. RMTs are skilled professionals who evaluate and address these dysfunctions to improve one's overall health and well-being. Massage therapy can be effective in treating conditions such as muscular pain and tension, sports injuries, headaches, chronic pain, stress, anxiety, depression, arthritis, fibromyalgia, and respiratory and circulatory issues. Before the massage, the RMT will conduct a thorough assessment to determine the most appropriate course of treatment based on your medical history and symptoms.
MORE THAN JUST MUSCLES
Massage therapy is a holistic approach that utilizes manual techniques to manipulate soft tissues beyond just muscles. It can alleviate various conditions affecting the body such as arthritis, fibromyalgia, sports injuries, and digestive disorders. Massage therapy can also reduce stress and anxiety, improve circulation, mobility, and flexibility, boost immune function, and enhance sleep quality. It can be a beneficial part of cancer treatment, reducing pain and anxiety. Massage therapy is not only effective for physical health but can also improve mental health by reducing symptoms of depression and anxiety.
OVERCOME PAIN
Massage has been shown to increase the body's production of pain-killing endorphins and the mood-altering hormone serotonin. It can also slow the release of the stress hormone cortisol. Tense muscles that may also compress blood vessels and stretch nerves, restricting blood flow and causing pain. As the affected area is massaged, the muscles gradually release their stranglehold on the irritated nerves, and the pain eases. The same mechanisms also make massage helpful in the recovery process for an injured muscle.
