Your Registered Massage Therapist (RMT) will utilize their extensive experience of a variety of hands-on techniques combined with developing a personalized treatment plan in order to leave you with both immediate and long-lasting results on your health. They can manipulate muscles, connective tissue, tendons, ligaments, and joints. You will receive an assessment of the affected area(s) and the intention of your treatment will be the prevention of further discomfort via manual methods that aim to develop, maintain, and rehabilitate physical function. They are also able to prescribe appropriate home exercises to reinforce the changes they’ve made in your body. Massage Therapy is effective in reducing muscle tension, promoting relaxation, alleviating pain, reducing inflammation, increasing range of motion, increasing blood circulation, helping in the healing process after injury, as well as just overall general wellness.

Prenatal massage focuses on the special needs of the mother-to-be as her body goes through the dramatic changes of pregnancy. The prenatal period can be a very stressful, physical, and emotional time for a mother-to-be which is why proper management of stress itself can prove beneficial. Some benefits of massage therapy include but are not limited to: enhancing the function of muscles and joints, improving circulation (therefore reducing edema and blood pressure) as well as general body tone, relieving mental and physical fatigue, aiding in proper posture, and reducing fluid retention, headaches, and sinus congestion.
