Experienced, Registered Massage Therapist’s
Massage therapy consists primarily of hands-on manipulation involving a range of techniques to treat the soft tissue and joints of the body. The purpose of massage therapy is to prevent, develop, maintain, rehabilitate or augment physical function or relieve pain. While many individuals might provide “massage”, massage therapy should be provided by a Registered Massage Therapist (RMT). An RMT is an individual who has completed a diploma program at a recognized school of massage therapy and who has passed a registration examination offered by the College of Massage Therapists of Ontario.
WILSON HEALTH SERVICES CAMBRIDGE IS LOCATED IN THE NORTH END ON PINEBUSH RD.
Benefits of Massage Therapy
Massage Therapy is an ancient therapeutic technique considered to be one of the oldest forms of treatment known to man. Massage therapy is the manipulation of soft tissues of the body to gain a therapeutic effect
Massage therapy can be beneficial to people of all ages and conditions. It relieves muscle tension and pain, increases flexibility and mobility. Massage improves circulation by bringing oxygen and other nutrients to body tissues. Some conditions commonly treated are:
Stress Relief: Massage can reduce stress by lowering the body’s cortisol levels. It helps in promoting relaxation and a sense of well-being.
Muscle Relaxation: It can alleviate muscle tension and soreness, helping to improve flexibility and reduce muscle stiffness. This is especially helpful for those who have chronic pain or engage in strenuous physical activities.
Improved Circulation: Massage can enhance blood circulation, which in turn delivers more oxygen and nutrients to the body’s cells. Improved circulation can aid in healing and reduce swelling.
Pain Management: It can help in managing various types of pain, including lower back pain, headaches, and joint pain, by releasing endorphins, the body’s natural painkillers.
Enhanced Sleep Quality: Many people find that massage helps improve their sleep quality, both in terms of falling asleep faster and experiencing deeper sleep.
Boosts Immunity: Regular massage sessions can potentially improve the immune system’s functionality by stimulating the lymphatic system.
Mental Health Benefits: Massage therapy can help alleviate symptoms of anxiety, depression, and other mental health conditions by promoting relaxation and reducing stress.
Posture Improvement: By relaxing and loosening muscles, massage can aid in correcting postural imbalances caused by prolonged sitting or standing in a particular position.
Enhanced Athletic Performance: Athletes often use massage therapy to reduce recovery time after intense workouts, decrease muscle soreness, and prevent injuries.
Increased Energy Levels: Through improved circulation and reduced stress, individuals often experience increased energy levels after a massage.
Skin Benefits: Certain types of massage, such as exfoliating or lymphatic drainage massage, can promote healthier skin by increasing blood flow and removing toxins.
These benefits can vary depending on the type of massage and the individual’s specific health condition or needs. It’s always recommended to consult a professional to determine the most suitable type of massage for your goals or concerns.
