Massage Therapy

Massage therapy is the assessment of soft tissue and joints of the body, and the treatment and prevention of dysfunction, injury, pain and physical disorders of the soft tissues and joints, by manual and physical methods. Massage therapy is useful to develop, maintain, rehabilitate or augment physical function in order to relieve pain and promote health.

Registered Massage Therapists (RMT’s) in British Columbia are educated and trained to accurately assess and treat with techniques that include massage and manual therapy, joint mobilization, hydrotherapy, and rehabilitative exercise such as stretching, strengthening, postural exercise and patient education.

It is widely understood that massage therapy decreases stress and helps control pain. Perhaps less known is the effectiveness of massage therapy in treating deeper structures of the body such as ligaments, bones and joints, fascia, blood vessels, organs and other soft tissues of the body.
