Remedial/Therapeutic Massage

Is grounded in clinical reasoning and guided by robust science-based information. This type of massage uses a multi-discipline approach to address muscular and soft tissue pain, swelling, discomfort, injuries and deficits in range of motion.

Whether through work or leisure/life-style activities, when soft tissues such as muscles/tendons are underused/overused/overloaded and placed under constant tensile stress over time, they may developed weakness/hypertonic, lengthened/shortened, hyper-sensitive/altered firing patterns and become imbalanced. As a result, they inevitably affect other tissues/joints and developed trigger points, tears/injuries and conditions which causes pain.

Neuro-Muscular Technique (NMT) and a range of other modalities is used for treatment. The therapies are aim at re-alignment/healing of soft tissues surrounding joints, restoration of muscle strength function and movements without causing intense pain.

The initial consultation involves a thorough intake of health history, examination of X-rays, the tissues, orthopedic tests, identifying the cause(s) of your main complaint and discomfort. Based on the findings, an individualized treatment plan specific to your condition is implemented, recommendations of self-managed home exercises and options for follow-up visits are made.

We recommend remedial massage for treatment, preventative and maintenance care.
