Registered Massage Therapy

What is Registered Massage Therapy?

Registered Massage Therapy is the treatment of pain and dysfunction using a hands-on approach.

Sessions include an assessment of your body’s movement followed by a hands-on treatment. Here you will be treated with a combination of massage techniques such as Trigger Point Release, Myofascial Release, Joint Mobilizations and many others. The treatment often follows-up with exercise or stretch recommendations to help you continue your progress even after your treatment is over.

The use of massage therapy can be an effective approach in injury management and rehabilitation, as well as part of a preventive health care program.
