At ActiveCare Physiotherapy & Rehab, we understand that your well-being is a vital component of your overall health. Our Massage Therapy services are designed to complement our holistic approach to care, promoting relaxation, recovery, and rejuvenation. With a focus on active care and prevention, we aim to empower you to maintain a healthy, balanced lifestyle.
What is Massage Therapy?
Massage therapy involves the manipulation of muscles and soft tissues to enhance physical and emotional well-being. Our skilled therapists utilize various techniques to address your specific needs, ensuring you receive the most effective care possible. The types of massage therapies we offer include:
- Swedish Massage: A gentle and relaxing massage that uses long strokes, kneading, and circular movements to improve circulation and promote relaxation.
- Deep Tissue Massage: Focused on deeper layers of muscle and connective tissue, this technique uses more intense pressure to alleviate chronic pain and muscle tension.
- Trigger Point Therapy: This targeted approach addresses specific areas of tightness or “knots” in the muscles, relieving pain and restoring normal function.
- Sports Massage: Designed for athletes, this massage combines techniques to enhance performance, prevent injury, and aid in recovery from sports-related activities.
- Prenatal Massage: Tailored for expectant mothers, this therapy alleviates discomfort, reduces stress, and promotes overall relaxation during pregnancy.
- Myofascial Release: A gentle technique that targets the fascia (connective tissue) to relieve tension and improve mobility.
