Registered Massage Therapy
Massage therapy works to relieve pain due to stress, muscle overuse, and chronic pain syndromes. It works by increasing circulation, allowing the body to pump more oxygen and nutrients into tissues and vital organs. It can help to improve your physical function and ease the pain.
Message Therapy can help with any of the following:
- headaches
- repetitive use strains like carpal tunnel syndrome and tennis elbow
- depression
- back pain
- neck and shoulder tension
- constipation
- whiplash
- sports injuries
- temporomandibular (TMJ) joint pain
Although therapeutic massage does not increase muscle strength, it can stimulate weak, inactive muscles and, thus, partially compensate for the lack of exercise and inactivity resulting from illness or injury. It also can hasten and lead to a more complete recovery from exercise or injury.
I also have extra training in pregnancy massage.
