Northwest Calgary Registered Massage Therapy
You’ve probably noticed that when you’re constantly moving without rest, at one point your body can break down. Chronic pain can affect anyone at some point in life. But don’t worry! The good news is that Maximum Potential Physiotherapy can help you in getting rid of soreness and pain in any area of the body. We work with our patients on an individual level to help get them back on moving – whether it’s from chronic pain or muscle soreness and tightness from everyday activities.
What is Massage Therapy?
Massage therapy primarily involves the hands-on manipulation of the body’s soft tissues including muscles, connective tissue, tendons, ligaments and joints. Massage therapists may use many different arrays of techniques, but most of them involve applying pressure with their hands. The benefits of massage will be explained a bit more below.
Massage therapy is a regulated profession and the title “Registered Massage Therapist” or “RMT” is protected. This means that in order to call yourself an RMT, you must complete standardized educational certifications and advanced massage therapy training to register with the regulatory organization.
How Do Physiotherapy Massages Work?
There are several mechanisms that can explain massages but we aren’t in a physiology class! Massage, without a doubt, influences circulation and can improve circulation to your tissues.
Many of our painful muscles are painful in the first place because they aren’t getting the circulation that they need! Massage works in other ways besides improving blood flow, it can facilitate relaxation and the release of your body’s own natural pain killers. Massage therapy can be effective for muscle spasms, strained muscles, frozen shoulder, overuse injuries, headaches and many other conditions.
A-List of Some of Our Massage Therapy Services
Stress reduction and improved circulation are some of the most common conditions that massage therapy can help with, but, it also works for:
- Relieving chronic pain
- Improve mobility and ease of movement
- Improve mood
- Relaxation
At maximum potential Physiotherapy Calgary NW, it is our general recommendation that you combine massage therapy treatment with an active rehabilitation program!
Why? If you’re constantly getting strained muscles, an active rehab program can help make the symptoms go away for good (or at least make them go away for a lot longer). Therapeutic exercise combined with therapeutic massage services can be an excellent care option and our registered physiotherapists would be glad to help you out with your health goals!
