Massage therapy is the assessment and manipulation of soft tissues, specifically: the muscles, connective tissue, tendons, ligaments and joints.  It has therapeutic benefits on the body by acting on the muscular, nervous and circulatory systems.

​

It can be preventative or restorative, helping to maintain, rehabilitate, improve physical function or relieve pain.

​

Massage can help alleviate soft tissue discomfort associated with everyday stress, muscular overuse and chronic conditions.

​

While massage therapy is not covered by OHIP, many private insurance companies cover treatment from a massage therapist as part of their extended health care plans.  Please consult your policy.
