What are the benefits of Massage Therapy?

Massage Therapy is increasingly becoming part of mainstream health care.  A Registered Massage Therapist, along with other Health Care Providers, can help you maintain a healthier  lifestyle.  Massage Therapy is part of the Regulated Health Professions Act (RHPA), and governed by the College of Massage Therapists of Ontario (CMTO).

The benefits of massage are numerous:

• Increases mobility and flexibility by decreasing stiffness and spasms

• Assists in proper bone alignment through muscle relaxation

• Increases blood and lymph flow, metabolic waste removal and detoxification

• Increases nutrition to nervous tissue

• Promotes relaxation, stress reduction and body awareness

• Treats and prevents injury

Massage also affects the respiratory and digestive systems and assists in the feeling of well-being.
