RMT - Massage Therapy
Registered massage therapy helps reduce muscle tension, improve circulation, and support recovery from pain, stress, and injury. At our clinic, massage therapy is provided as part of an evidence-based rehabilitation approach, not just for temporary relaxation. Treatment is tailored to your symptoms, physical condition, and overall recovery plan.
What conditions does it treat?
Massage therapy can help treat muscle tightness, back pain, neck pain, shoulder tension, headaches, soft tissue injuries, sports-related strain, and postural discomfort.

More About Massage Therapy
A common benefit which we all have experienced at one point is that a RMT can also help reduce your lower back pain which can be a result of a work-related injury, prolonged sitting, sport injury, and lifting heavy objects. A study found that patients suffering from chronic and sub-acute lower back pain had benefited from massage therapy. Moreover, if the RMT combined massage therapy and exercise, the results were even more effective.
The benefits of massage therapy treatment have been consistently outlined in numerous medical studies for years. One beneficial example of massage therapy is treating fibromyalgia because it reduces swelling, stiffness, pain, decreases anxiety and stress, and improves your sleep. By having a RMT treat you with a frequent massage therapy, your body will thank you as you will prevent and avoid future injuries.
