Massage therapy is the manipulation of muscle and fascia through the application of controlled force – from slow gliding strokes to deep kneading and stretching. Performed by a qualified professional Registered Massage Therapist or RMT, the healing power of massage therapy is monumental. This service is a key element of most personal wellness packages here at MoveStrong’s Toronto wellness studio.
Massage greatly improves circulation, breaks down scar tissue and helps the body heal. It reduces strain and discomfort caused by physical training and by chronic stress patterns such as office work or driving.
In particular, during pregnancy and while giving birth, women can experience a significant amount of pain and discomfort. Pregnancy massage serves to make labour easier and decrease all kinds of pain, from lower back discomfort to general stress.
Massage therapy benefits are immediately noticeable in the relief of muscle aches and tension, melting stress and relieving pain. These benefits build towards enhanced flexibility and relaxation. However, our primary concern at MoveStrong is restoring the health of your muscles and tissues to support long term wellness. Therefore, your personal wellness plan will be carefully designed with a focus on reversing ingrained imbalances, and will include deep tissue massage.
Fascia is the deep connective tissue system permeating the human body. Massaging it thoroughly is pivotal to restoring balance. Fascia massage does wonders for posture and muscular imbalance and ensures that connective tissue does what it should: provide support and protection, essentially acting as a shock absorber.
As with all our our personal wellness plans, our massage therapy packages include an education component. Our goal is to aid our clients in understanding the reasons for their discomforts and pains, empowering them to take control of their health. Virtually all types of illness, musculoskeletal dysfunction and other ailments can be improved with professional massage therapy.
