The practice of massage therapy is the assessment of soft tissue and joints of the body and the treatment and prevention of dysfunction, injury, pain and physical disorders of the soft tissues and joints by manual and physical methods to develop, maintain, rehabilitate or augment physical function to relieve pain and promote optimal musculoskeletal health.
RMTs in BC are trained in:
- The assessment and treatment of soft tissue and joints of the body
- Techniques for maintenance/prevention of injuries, chronic pain, and physical
dysfunction
Our RMTs are dedicated to treating your pain and dysfunction in the body (including possible underlying causes), as well as educating you on what you can do to maintain optimal physical health.
It is widely understood that massage therapy decreases stress and helps control pain. Perhaps less known is the effectiveness of massage therapy in treating deeper structures of the body such as ligaments, joints, fascia, blood vessels, organs and other soft tissues of the body.
