Benefits of Massage
At Advanced Therapeutic Massage, we know that massage is good for your health and well-being. It can provide relief from muscle aches and pains, increased energy and alertness, enhanced recovery from illness and injury, improved circulation and healthier joints, more restful sleep, and greater relaxation and inner peace.
We all know that having a massage can be relaxing, but did you know that there are many other benefits?
Massage therapy melts away stress and tension, relieving associated headaches and muscular aches and pains. By encouraging the body's own healing processes to act, massage therapy reduces injury healing time. Massage therapy aids in the healing process from injury or over-use and is an excellent form of preventative health care.
In British Columbia, over 75% of medical physicians regularly refer their patients to a Registered Massage Therapist (RMT) - and they make these referrals because massage therapy is both accessible and effective in the treatment of their patients' conditions. Today, RMTs use a blend of modern science and ancient philosophies, utilizing specific techniques and modalities to treat many conditions that may include, but are not limited to:
