Massage Therapy

Massage Therapy comes in many forms. Some forms our therapist are trained in include; Swedish, Deep Tissue, Sports, Injury, Pregnancy and more! Massage Therapy involves the manual manipulation of soft tissues in the body, including muscles, tendons, ligaments, and connective tissue, to promote relaxation, relieve tension, and alleviate pain.

​

The benefits of massage therapy include:

​

  1. Relaxation: Massage Therapy promotes relaxation by reducing stress hormones like cortisol and triggering the release of feel-good hormones like serotonin and dopamine.

  2. Pain relief: It can help alleviate muscle tension, stiffness, soreness, and can provide relief from many acute or chronic pain conditions.

  3. Improved circulation: Massage Therapy improves blood flow to the muscles and tissues, which helps deliver oxygen and nutrients,  enhancing overall circulation and tissue health.

  4. Enhanced flexibility and range of motion: Regular massage therapy can help loosen tight muscles and increase joint flexibility, improving overall mobility and range of motion.

  5. Stress reduction: Massage therapy can lower heart rate and blood pressure, as well as reduce levels of anxiety and depression, promoting a sense of well-being and relaxation.

Instrument Assisted Soft Tissue Mobilization (IASTM)

IASTM stands for Instrument-Assisted Soft Tissue Mobilization. It's a manual therapy technique where specially designed instruments are used to massage and manipulate soft tissues, such as muscles, tendons, and ligaments.

​

The benefits of IASTM include:

​

  1. Breaks down scar tissue: It helps to break down adhesions and scar tissue, promoting better tissue healing and remodeling.

  2. Improves range of motion: By releasing tension and tightness in soft tissues, IASTM can improve flexibility and joint mobility.

  3. Reduces pain: The technique can help alleviate pain by releasing muscle knots, reducing inflammation, and improving circulation to the affected area.

  4. Enhances performance: Athletes often use IASTM as part of their recovery and performance enhancement routine to address soft tissue restrictions and prevent injuries.

  5. Faster recovery: By promoting better tissue healing and reducing inflammation, IASTM can accelerate the recovery process from injuries or overuse.

Kinesiology

Exercise rehabilitation homecare provided by a Kinesiologist involves designing and guiding patients through tailored exercise programs to address specific musculoskeletal issues or injuries. These exercises are typically prescribed to complement massage therapy sessions and promote long-term recovery and wellness.

​

The benefits of exercise rehab homecare with an Kinesiologist include:

​

  1. Targeted rehabilitation: Exercises are customized to address the individual's specific needs, targeting areas of weakness, imbalance, or injury.

  2. Improved mobility and function: By targeting specific muscle groups and movement patterns, exercise rehab helps improve joint mobility, stability, and overall functional abilities.

  3. Pain management: Corrective exercises can help alleviate pain by strengthening supportive muscles, improving posture, and reducing strain on affected areas.

  4. Prevention of future injuries: By addressing underlying imbalances and weaknesses, exercise rehab can help prevent future injuries and promote long-term musculoskeletal health.

  5. Empowerment and independence: Teaching patients exercises to perform at home empowers them to take an active role in their recovery, fostering independence and self-management of their condition.

Acupuncture

Acupuncture provided by a Licensed Acupuncturist involves creating and guiding patients through personalized acupuncture treatments to address specific musculoskeletal issues or injuries. These treatments are typically administered to promote long-term recovery and wellness. 

​

The benefits of Acupuncture with a Licensed Acupuncturist include:

  1. Targeted rehabilitation: Acupuncture treatments are tailored to the individual's unique needs, focusing on areas of pain, imbalance, or injury to restore balance and function.

  2. Enhanced mobility and function: By stimulating specific acupuncture points and pathways, acupuncture rehab helps improve joint mobility, stability, and overall functional abilities.

  3. Pain management: Targeted acupuncture can help alleviate pain by enhancing circulation, reducing inflammation, and promoting the body’s natural healing processes.

  4. Prevention of future issues: By addressing underlying imbalances and promoting overall wellness, acupuncture rehab can help prevent future injuries and support long-term musculoskeletal health.

  5. Empowerment and self-care: Educating patients on acupuncture techniques and self-care practices empowers them to take an active role in their recovery, fostering independence and ongoing management of their health condition.
