Massage Therapy is the manipulation of tissue, with the aim to decrease stress and optimize health.

Massage Therapists are regulated healthcare professionals registered with the College of Massage Therapists of Ontario who relieve pain, in addition to preventing, treating and maintaining tissue and joint health.

They can help you achieve a feeling of deep relaxation, prompting the release of endorphins while reducing your stress hormones. Studies show high levels of stress can impact your immune system.

FRICTION

Friction involves force being applied across soft tissue structures. Friction is an effective massage technique used to break up adhesions and help break down car tissue and realign tissue fibres. 

 
GENERAL SWEDISH MASSAGE

Picture30.png

General Swedish Massage Therapy involve soft, long, kneading strokes, as well as light rhythmic, tapping strokes, on topmost layers of muscles, combined with movement of the joints. By relieving muscle tension, Swedish Therapy is meant to relax and increase circulation. 

 
A trigger point is a hyperirritable spot in your fascia, the connective tissue attached to your muscle. Trigger Points are formed when muscles grow into "knots" due to constant tension. Trigger Point Release targets the hyperirritable location to help manage and prevent muscle pain.

 
PERCUSSION

PERCUSSION.png

Percussion movements (tapotement) involve a series of light, brisk, striking actions applied with alternate hands in rapid succession. Two of the main percussion strokes are cupping (palm facing down in a curved position) and hacking (the use of the edge of hand) while applying pressure rhythmically up and down in rapid succession. This method is most effective when used on  large muscular areas of the body.

 
JOINT MOBILIZATION

joint mobilization manual therapy

Joint mobilization is a passive technique used to mobilize the joint to varying degrees from small oscillations that aid in promoting joint tissue health and/or to cause a reflex effect in the surrounding musculature to relax and drop in tone.
