East Toronto Orthopaedic & Sports Injury Clinic and Trilogy Physiotherapy have partnered in order to provide you with the experienced and skilled care you deserve.
Massage therapy is a treatment in which the soft tissues of the body are manipulated to release pain and tension; this includes muscles, tendons, connective tissues, joints and ligaments.
Massage therapy is a health care option clinically proven to alleviate the strains associated with daily stress, pulled muscles, occupational pains and several chronic conditions.
Registered Massage Therapists (RMTs) at our Toronto and GTA clinics use their specialized hands-on training and studies in anatomy and physiology to apply traditional and modern massage techniques to treat clients.
Comprehensive Massage Therapy for Complete Health and Wellness
While some RMTs specialize in certain areas of treatment, many treat a variety of disabilities, illnesses, and aid in rehabilitation from injuries and strains. Some patients simply desire a moment of deep relaxation, a reduction in muscle tension, or to feel relief from chronic pain. Whatever the reason for treatment, a therapeutic massage can vastly improve your health and wellness.
Benefits of Massage Therapy
Maintaining regular massage therapy appointments at our Toronto and GTA clinics can be incredibly beneficial. Increasing lymphatic drainage, improving circulation, eliminating or at least reducing bodily pains, increasing joint mobility, and lessening the effects of muscle tension are just some of the ways that massage therapy can help.
Massage therapy is used to treat both chronic and acute conditions, such as shoulder and neck tension, headaches, soft-tissue sprains, spinal pain, sports injury and pre and post-partum issues. Massage therapy is an effective remedy for psychological and emotional ailments such as anxiety and depression. Massage therapy can also be included as part of your regular routine of preventative health measures.
Things to Consider Before Massage Therapy
It is important to provide your RMT with extensive information about your health history. Examples of details they need to be aware of include bodily injuries suffered, ongoing health problems, ailments and illnesses, allergies, psychological aspects of your health and any recent developments in your overall condition.
