Interested in massage therapy? Local massage therapists will be happy to answer your questions. Massage therapy is a wonderful method that has a very positive effect on our body and soul. This treatment technique is usually used on the elbows fingers and forearms. Massage therapy can be used as a treatment for both acute (recently occurring) and chronic conditions such as stress and pain in the body. We work with many patients to rehabilitate and treat disability.
Advantages of massage
As an RMT we are delighted that our profession is being increasingly accepted in the health sector. How does it help you? Many insurance companies have recognized massage as a viable form of health care and it is now included in most plans although the amount of coverage may vary. This is great because it allows many other people to choose forms of therapy that do not involve drugs. We definitely encourage you to engage in self-care on a more regular basis. Speaking of benefits.
- Swedish Massage – The most common type of massage you will receive from RMT. Swedish massage provides relaxing fluidity while manipulating soft tissue improves circulation and promotes cell growth.
- Lymphatic Drainage – improves fluid circulation in the body and is very useful if you have recently undergone surgery or injury and inflammation and boost immunity.
- Deep Tissue – A popular type of massage for those who exercise or exercise regularly but its also great for those with deep scars and knots. Not the most comfortable but highly effective treatment for increasing your range of motion after an injury and reducing the discomfort of a scar.
- Prenatal (pregnancy) – Your body goes through many changes during the months of pregnancy. Prenatal massage can have many benefits in each trimester although not all are the same. Always ask your doctor before getting a massage especially if it is used in conjunction with an aromatherapy treatment.
