What is Massage Therapy?
The practice of Massage Therapy is the assessment of the soft tissue and joints of the body and the treatment and prevention of physical dysfunction and pain of the soft tissues and joints by manipulation to develop, maintain, rehabilitate or augment physical function, or relieve pain. (Massage Therapy Act, 1991)
What is Medical Massage Therapy?
Medical Massage Therapy is a comprehensive system which offers a truly personalized treatment (ie no 'cookie'-cutter' routines) based on your overall health, medical history, a case intake, and a full-body physical assessment. The unique nature of each condition and complexity of our respective lives requires specialized knowledge, skills and abilities to determine the most effective treatment tailored to you. I have witnessed incredible results from Medical Massage Therapy when many other therapies were unable to help. Additionally, Medical Massage Therapy can complement other services, such as advice or treatment given by your general physician, naturopathic doctor, or other physical therapies such as physiotherapy & chiropractic.
What sets Medical Massage Therapy apart from the vast majority of manual therapy approaches is the fact that it does not promote any specific technique (ie tool). Instead, it incorporates a broad spectrum of advanced soft tissue techniques and approaches to effectively treat the cause(s) of pain, injuries & dysfunction. It has the capacity to address all the musculo-skeletal structures (muscles, fascia, ligaments, joints) and their supporting structures (ie. nerves, arteries, veins and lymphatics) as well as many systemic (organ/glandular) conditions.
Medical massage therapy has as its focus work on a specific problem . Medical Massage Therapy is recommend for patients who are results-oriented. Drastic, long-lasting & sustainable results! Medical Massage is a safe (gentle), efficient and extremely effective method of manual therapy for all levels (minimal, moderate and severe) of acute & chronic pain. Medical massage therapy can quickly relieve symptoms like back pain, sciatica, neck stiffness and shoulder pain.
Through a strong emphasis on assessment protocol, the area and type of dysfunction will indicate which of the structures & tissues are causing or contributing to the pain and what type of technique will be most effective for your condition.
Alongside treatment, if requested, you will also be offered advice on posture and prescribed exercises to to aid recovery and help you enjoy the benefits of treatment in the long term and prevent symptoms from recurring.
