Lower Back Pain

Experiencing low back pain? You’re not alone. Up to 80% of people will have it at some point. Non-specific low back pain is common and often caused by trauma, strain, or poor posture. 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.

Benefits of Massage

Boost your well-being with massage therapy! Registered Massage Therapists offer treatments that can alleviate pain, improve joint mobility, and reduce muscular tension for various conditions. Massage therapy benefits include stress management, injury prevention, and rehabilitation for acute and chronic conditions like anxiety, arthritis, sports injuries, and more. Tailored treatment plans consider your health history to ensure safe and effective care.

Covid 19

Prioritizing safety, standard Covid-19 practices are essential when visiting your RMT. Stay vigilant for any signs of illness, not just Covid, to protect your RMT and others. For BC’s latest Covid-19 updates, visit the Government of Canada’s health professionals resource.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
