What does it mean?

A Massage therapist treats clients by using touch to manipulate the muscles and other soft tissues of the body. With touch, the massage therapies relieve pain, help heal injuries, improve circulation, relieve stress, increase relaxation, and aid in the general wellness of our clients.

Massage is a general term for pressing, rubbing and manipulating your skin, muscles, tendons and ligaments. Massage may range from light stroking to deep pressure. There are many different types of massage, including these common types:

  • Swedish massage. This is a gentle form of massage that uses long strokes, kneading, deep circular movements, vibration and tapping to help relax and energize you.
  • Deep massage. This massage technique uses slower, more-forceful strokes to target the deeper layers of muscle and connective tissue, commonly to help with muscle damage from injuries.
  • Sports massage. This is similar to Swedish massage, but it’s geared toward people involved in sport activities to help prevent or treat injuries.
  • Trigger point massage. This massage focuses on areas of tight muscle fibres that can form in your muscles after injuries or overuse.
  • Dry needling and medical acupuncture. Dry needling is a modern treatment designed to ease muscular pain.

Benefits of massage therapy

Massage is generally considered part of complementary and integrative medicine. It’s increasingly being offered along with standard treatment for a wide range of medical conditions and situations.

  • Anxiety

  • Headaches
  • Insomnia related to stress
  • Myofascial pain syndrome
