Registered Massage Therapy 

​

​

 

A hands-on modality that manipulates the soft tissues of the body, including muscles, tendons, and fascia, to promote relaxation, alleviate pain or discomfort, and improve circulation. Scientifically, massage therapy is thought to work by stimulating the parasympathetic nervous system, which helps reduce stress hormones like cortisol and increase feel-good neurotransmitters such as serotonin and dopamine. Additionally, massage may increase blood and lymph flow, reduce muscle tension, and modulate pain. Overall, massage therapy supports physical recovery and mental well-being.

​

Therapeutic Focus: encompasses an analytical approach to the structures and tissues of the body, usually involving assessment, treatment, and homecare of an injury or acute flare-up of symptoms.

​
