Massage Therapy

Massage therapy is widely recognized as a beneficial adjunct to Physiotherapy and manual therapy. As a modality, it involves hands-on manipulation of soft tissue which promotes healing, enhances muscle release, improves local circulation, and reduces stress.  As a non-invasive treatment, massage therapy can be an alternative to pharmacologic pain relief, and can help you to improve function and better execute your exercises.

At Amazing physiotherapy our massage therapist work closely with your Physiotherapist to ensure optimal treatment. We train our massage therapists  in a variety of techniques and orthopedic conditions.

A medical massage differs from a therapeutic massage (i.e. one you get at your local spa) as it does not necessarily focus on relieving tension or stress from the body, but is instead used for patients who are recovering from injuries or surgical procedures.

Here is our range of medical massage techniques including:

Lymphatic Drainage

Connective tissue massage

Neuromuscular therapy

Neuro-fascial massage

Stretching and positional release techniques

Reflex techniques

Trigger point therapies

Studies show that massage therapy integrated into physiotherapy treatment can effectively regulate inflammation that follows intense PT exercise, and also promote faster healing. While most physiotherapy patients can benefit from some form of massage, we find that it is particularly useful to treat the following conditions:

Chronic low back pain

To reduce pain intensity/severity and anxiety in patients undergoing surgery

To protect from illness/boost immunity
