The Benefits of Massage Therapy

Massage therapy is the place where art and science meet to enhance the recovery process. Your Oakridge and Vancouver physiotherapy massage therapy visit begins with an assessment of your health problems, lifestyle, and your reason for coming to to the centre. We can then describe the procedure and how it can help you.

We could combine different strategies depending on your needs. The degree of pressure, motion and touch may vary relying on your level of sensitivity to the massage. For example, to ease trigger points (knots of muscle stress), deep pressure is frequently required to loosen the knots, boost blood flow and relieve discomfort.

 

Some advantages of massage treatment are:

• Improved circulation.
• Decreased stress levels through promoting relaxation.
• Reduced muscle stress and discomfort.
• Improved blood pressure.
• Enhanced variety of motion.
• Reduction of post-injury scar cells that limits range of motion.
• Improved recovery rate.
• Feeling of wellness as a result of launched endorphins.
• Enhanced sleep pattern.

 

Physiotherapists commonly utilize massage to provide these benefits and even more, to clients who suffer from persistent pain, inadequate flow, strains and strains. Some conditions that benefit from massage therapy are tendonitis, arthritis, asthma, lower back pain, sports and migraine related headaches.
