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.
