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.

Deep Tissue Massage

Deep tissue massage is a highly effective technique for treating musculoskeletal issues, including strains and sports injuries. It can help alleviate stress, anxiety, and pain, particularly in the neck, back, joints, and muscles. With more people working from home due to Covid-19, deep tissue massage has become increasingly popular for promoting overall wellness and rehabilitation.

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.

Temporomandibular Joint Disorder (TMJ)

Temporomandibular Joint Disorder (TMD) impacts over 25% of the population, causing jaw pain, joint sounds, and impaired movement. Stress, teeth grinding, and trauma contribute to TMD. Registered Massage Therapists can alleviate symptoms, reduce pain and tenderness, decrease stress, and promote relaxation.

Stroke

A stroke is a medical emergency caused by disrupted blood flow to the brain, leading to brain cell death. Symptoms include headache, numbness, loss of coordination, and trouble speaking or balancing. Registered Massage Therapists can help reduce localized pain and disability by using massage techniques and exercises. They can also provide stretches to prevent cramping.

Headaches

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.

Plantar Fascitis

Plantar fasciitis, a common cause of heel pain, affects the plantar fascia. Symptoms include heel pain, swelling, and paresthesia. Overuse, sedentary or athletic lifestyles, and obesity contribute to this condition. Registered Massage Therapists can help alleviate pain and swelling through massage techniques, exercises, and hydrotherapy.
