What is a
Massage Therapy?
Massage is a treatment that aims to relax, revive and heal the body. Using manual hands-on movements and manipulation of the soft tissues and muscles in the body, massage therapy works to promote healing and enhance a person’s overall well-being.
A massage is the stroking, kneading, rolling, and pressing of the skin and muscles. There are many different styles, each with different origins and aims, but the premise of the treatment is the same – to relax and rebalance the body and to make you feel good
- Relaxes muscles, helps with headache
- Increases healing rate and shorten recovery time
- Stretches out tightness and loosen scar tissue
- Helps with sprains, strains, broken bones and muscle tears
When Should You See an RMT?
Life takes a toll on our bodies—whether it’s recovering from a sports injury, a car accident, or simply dealing with the wear and tear of daily life. At LV Rehabilitation Clinic Inc., our Registered Massage Therapists (RMTs) are here to help you heal and thrive.
Massage therapy can significantly reduce pain and prevent the development of chronic muscular issues such as whiplash, lower back pain, shin splints, muscle strains, and more. It also helps reduce inflammation, swelling (edema), and supports faster recovery. Our experienced therapists will customize each session to your specific needs so you can return to doing what you love—pain-free.
But massage therapy isn’t only for injury recovery.
Other Reasons to See an RMT:
Stress & Anxiety Relief: Therapeutic massage promotes relaxation, lowers cortisol levels, and boosts your mood.
Postural Imbalances: Desk jobs and repetitive tasks often lead to postural strain—massage can help correct these issues.
Headaches & Migraines: Targeted massage can reduce the frequency and intensity of tension-related headaches.
Improved Sleep: Regular massage promotes deeper, more restful sleep.
Enhanced Athletic Performance: Athletes often use massage to improve flexibility, reduce fatigue, and prevent injuries.
Chronic Pain Management: Conditions like fibromyalgia, arthritis, or sciatica often benefit from consistent massage therapy.
Eastern vs. Western Massage Techniques
There are various styles of massage to suit different needs:
Eastern Techniques: Focus on energy flow and include Acupressure, Shiatsu, and Polarity Therapy.
Western Techniques: Centered on anatomy and physical manipulation of tissues, such as Swedish Massage, Myofascial Release, Neuromuscular Therapy, and Connective Tissue Therapy.
Deep Tissue Massage
This method targets deeper layers of muscles and fascia, making it ideal for treating chronic tension or muscle tightness. Common areas include the neck, shoulders, and lower back. Deep tissue massage helps break down adhesions (bands of painful, rigid tissue), restoring movement and easing discomfort.
Note: Some temporary soreness or discomfort can occur. Always communicate with your therapist about how you’re feeling during your session.
