Collingwood Massage Therapy

Symptoms Massage Helps

Our primary focus is on keeping healthy individuals in good health. Yet, we often first meet patients seeking relief for a common muscle and body pain. Even with all the information and self-help tools available managing pain is difficult.

Health-minded people value prevention strategies over reactive care. Even if you do not have pain or injury a massage therapist can have a profound effect on how you feel and move.

Signs of incomplete recovery come before pain: tight muscles, stiff joints, a feeling of imbalance, or tender to-the-touch body areas. A massage can determine problem areas and intervene before pain. Nothing is more important than enjoying life and doing what you love free from pain.

The symptoms our Collingwood massage therapist treats most often are back pain, sciatica, neck pain, shoulder pain, hip pain and headaches. Learn more about each below.

Massage Treatment

A massage therapist identifies both where the pain comes from as well as the underlying cause. The best treatment plan is then outlined for the patient to understand.

A massage therapist provides experience, evidence-based information and treatment. They also motivate you to make the necessary life changes for more complete recovery.

Treatment aims to provide immediate pain relief then progress to causative factors. Many patients realize the benefit of continued massage care after successful treatment.

Our massage therapists are skilled in several techniques and treatment approaches focused on soft-tissue work of the muscles and fascia.

Massage therapy can include one or a combination of the following:

Massage Techniques

Massage techniques involve applying pressure to the muscles. This is often done with the hands, but at times with a tool. They can improve circulation, decrease pain and trigger a healing response.

Muscle Release

Muscle release is where the muscle is tensioned with pressure while the client performs a stretch specific to that muscle. This can improve the muscle quality and is effective for reducing muscle pain and spasm.

Joint Mobilizations

Joint mobilizations are a slow, subtle movement or stretch of the joint. They're a particularly good compliment to soft-tissue techniques.

Exercise Therapy

Rehabilitation restores function to the muscles and movements which become imbalanced after injury. Improved function removes stress from tissues and pain diminishes.

Education

Knowing what not to do is as important as other treatment when you're experiencing pain or injury. A massage therapist can tell you what to avoid or decrease to allow for faster healing and recovery.
