Headaches

Experiencing headaches? Discover how Registered Massage Therapists (RMTs) can help with tension, migraine, cluster, and sinus headaches. Benefits of RMT treatment include pain relief, decreased stress, relaxation, and reduced muscle tension.

Whiplash

Whiplash, often caused by car accidents or sports injuries, can lead to various neck injuries and symptoms like pain, numbness, and headaches. Registered Massage Therapists (RMTs) play a crucial role in managing these symptoms, reducing muscle spasms, and improving functionality. Early return to work and proper guidance are essential for optimal recovery and minimizing long-term disability.

Cancer

“Discover the benefits of massage therapy for cancer patients. Research shows it can enhance quality of life by reducing pain, anxiety, and stress. However, precautions must be taken near tumors and metastasis sites. Always consult healthcare professionals before proceeding.”

Neuromuscular Technique

Neuromuscular Technique targets “trigger points” to alleviate pain and spasm cycles. This treatment aims to restore balance between the nervous and musculoskeletal systems by addressing biomechanical dysfunction, postural distortion, poor blood flow, trigger points, and nerve compression.

Pregnancy

Pregnancy brings numerous physical and emotional changes, with 72% of women experiencing low back and pelvic pain. Registered Massage Therapists (RMTs) can provide relief by reducing muscle tension, pain, stress, anxiety, depression, and improving sleep, mood, and symptoms of edema and sciatica.

Swedish Massage Therapy

Swedish Massage and Deep Tissue Massage are two popular therapeutic techniques. Swedish massage focuses on relaxation and increased blood circulation through long strokes and kneading, while Deep Tissue Massage targets chronic pain and inflammation by manipulating deep tissues. Although pressure is increased in Deep Tissue Massage, both techniques require a skilled therapist to provide effective care tailored to individual needs.

Multiple Sclerosis

Multiple Sclerosis (MS) affects the immune and nervous systems, causing muscle weakness, balance issues, and vision problems. While the exact cause is unknown, genetics and environment may play a role. Registered Massage Therapists (RMTs) can provide relief through deep tissue massage, improving circulation and range of motion, and offering strengthening exercises.

Registered Massage Therapists can help reduce pain, decrease muscle spasms, improve function, and provide exercise programs. A recent study found massage to be more effective than active controls for pain relief.
