Massage Therapy

Massage therapy involves various soft tissue techniques to enhance blood and lymph circulation throughout the body. It encompasses a range of methods including rubbing, pressing, and manipulating ligaments, tendons, muscles, and skin. By targeting these areas, massage can aid in relieving muscle soreness, reducing inflammation, and improving range of motion. The techniques employed during massage therapy can vary from deep pressure to light stroking, tailored to meet the specific needs of your body. Our massage therapists collaborate closely with our physiotherapists to ensure your massage meets your unique requirements. In addition to its therapeutic benefits, massage is also highly effective for promoting relaxation and overall well-being.
