What Is Massage Therapy?

Massage therapy is a hands-on treatment that focuses on soft tissue, helping to release muscle tension and dissolve “knots” (also known as trigger points). These tight bands of muscle often develop when muscles are overworked, leading to pain and stiffness in the neck, shoulders, back, and other areas.

Using targeted pressure and proven techniques, massage therapy helps relieve pain, increase circulation, improve flexibility, and restore function so you can move freely and feel better.

What Conditions Can Massage Therapy Help With?

Our Ottawa massage therapists help patients manage a wide range of conditions, including:

• Neck and back pain
• Headaches and migraines
• TMJ (jaw soreness)
• Chronic pain and fibromyalgia
• Tendonitis
• Plantar fasciitis
• Shin splints
• Frozen shoulder
• Stress, anxiety, and poor sleep

Massage therapy not only reduces pain and stiffness but also improves blood flow, decreases stress hormones, and promotes deep relaxation. Studies even show it can support immune function and overall health.
