North York’s fast-paced environment makes it easy for mental and physical stress to build up. Your body needs professional care whether you work long hours at a desk, play sports, or have a long-term illness. At Keele Physiotherapy & Wellness, our professional Registered Massage Therapy (RMT) is meant to make you feel better overall, reduce pain, and help you get back to moving around.
What is a Registered Massage Therapist (RMT)?
Many people think that massage is only something you can get at a fancy spa. But in North York, a registered massage therapist is a medical professional. RMTs get a lot of training in anatomy, physiology, and pathology. Keele Physiotherapy doesn’t just help you relax; it’s a clinically guided way to move your soft tissues that helps your body heal itself.
Benefits of Massage Therapy in Particular
There are many benefits of massage therapy that have been backed up by research, and they go far beyond just “feeling good.” The therapists at our clinic are very good at:
- Managing chronic pain: Long-term issues like tension headaches, lower back pain, and sciatica can be effectively treated.
- Recovering from an injury: speeding up the healing process for sprains and strains and post-operative rehabilitation.
- Better Circulation: More blood flow to tired muscles gives them the nutrients and oxygen they need.
Lowering your cortisol levels can help you sleep better and feel more balanced.
Postural correction is the process of relaxing tense muscles that have been caused by “tech neck” and sitting at a desk all day.
Our Professional Massage Techniques
We believe in treatment that is tailored to each person. During your first assessment, your therapist will choose the best approach for your specific goals:
- Swedish massage is great for people who have never had a massage before or who just want to relax and get rid of stress.
- Deep tissue massage focuses on the deeper layers of muscle and connective tissue to help relieve long-lasting “knots” and tension.
- People who play sports should get sports massage to improve their flexibility, speed up recovery time between sessions, and avoid getting hurt.
- Prenatal massage is a safe and relaxing way for pregnant women to deal with the physical stresses that come with being pregnant.
- Trigger Point Therapy: It focuses on very sensitive areas of the muscle to get rid of referred pain.
