Home Massage Therapy

Your muscles are made up of many small, thin fibers that contract on command, working together to mobilize your muscle groups. These muscles are attached to your bones by connective tissues, called tendons, enabling them to move your body parts. Your bones are then connected by tough bands of connective tissue, called ligaments, for added stability. Your ligaments are covered by yet another connective tissue called fascia. All of these connective tissues can be referred to as “soft tissues.”

Soft tissues help to mobilize your joints and give your body the strength it needs to perform tasks. Your soft tissues provide you with the ability to do many things; however, they also limit you from pushing yourself too far – even if that’s your intention. These can be damaged by certain stresses, especially those caused by repeated actions within the athletic activity. Massage therapy can help to loosen up your muscles, and may even prevent future injuries from occurring.

Massage therapy can be extremely beneficial for people of all ages. An Edmonton, AB therapist may recommend specific types of massage to complement your physiotherapy treatments, including:

This type of massage loosens up your muscles and their connective tissues.

This type of massage creates room for tissues that may be trapped by distortions or fascial adhesions, freeing them from constriction.

Massage therapy promotes tissue healing, so you can get back to living your life as quickly as possible. By working to mobilize, loosen, and relax your muscles, you can help them stay limber. This will decrease your risk of future strains, sprains, and ruptures.

For the most part, massages are quite relaxing, but there are times, or procedures, where you may feel a little discomfort. For example, breaking up scar tissue requires the application of pressure. However, at no point should the massage cause you to feel unduly distressed, and our registered massage therapists in Edmonton are known for delivering beneficial treatments with minimal discomfort. If at any time you feel pain during your massage, simply let your therapist know.

Massage therapy works best as a skin-to-skin treatment. Undergarments may be left on; ladies should consider removing their bras if the back is being worked on. Our registered massage therapists in Edmonton are professionals in every aspect – at no point should you feel uncomfortable with your treatment. If you are feeling shy or wish to remain more covered up for personal or cultural reasons, please discuss this with your therapist beforehand. We do everything we can to ensure your comfort.

Therapeutic massage reduces pain, breaks up knots in muscles, and increases movement/range of motion. Sports massage directly targets the muscles needed by the athlete for their sport of choice and manipulates those muscles to promote better, stronger, and faster performance.
