MASSAGE THERAPY

M P.

I started going to this clinic following a bicycle accident in May 2019. I am followed by two professionals: a physiotherapist and a massage therapist.

Deana

I was unsure how physio would help my TMJ. Within a few days of my first visit I started to notice a change for the better and now the pain is gone! He used multiple techniques, including acupuncture.

Deanna D.

Roxane Walsh has been my massage therapist for the past 8 years. I think she is absolutely wonderful! My treatments are primarily focused on the prevention of tension headaches, but also exercise related injuries along the way (I’m in my mid-40s).

Tavari L.

Roxane is the best registered massage therapist ever! She does a great job, remembers what's going on in your life and makes sure you get the best treatment.

Gavin P.

I starting seeing Tanya for Physio recently. She is a very positive and knowledgeable physiotherapist. After two appointments I felt much better and have been given excellent exercises which will help me stay feeling pain free.

What is massage therapy? 

Massage therapy is commonly used in Ottawa to help those whose muscles may have experienced extended periods of overuse. It helps in loosening up any tight areas and making recovery quicker and easier. Request an appointment at Anatomy Physiotherapy Clinic today to figure out if massage therapy can help you! 

Your soft tissues and you:

Your muscles are made up of many small, thin fibers that contract on command, working together to mobilize your muscle groups. These muscles are attached to your bones by connective tissues, called tendons, enabling them to move your body parts. Your bones are then connected by tough bands of connective tissue, called ligaments, for added stability. Your ligaments are covered by yet another connective tissue called fascia. All of these connective tissues can be referred to as “soft tissues.”

Soft tissues help to mobilize your joints and give your body the strength it needs to perform tasks. Your soft tissues provide you with the ability to do many things; however, they also limit you from pushing yourself too far – even if that’s your intention. These can be damaged by certain stresses, especially those caused by the repeated actions within athletic activity. Massage therapy can help to loosen up your muscles, and may even prevent future injuries from occurring. 

How massage therapy will improve your life:

Massage therapy can be extremely beneficial for people of all again. A Ottawa therapist may recommend specific types of massage to complement your physical therapy treatments, including: 

  • Deep tissue massage. This type of massage loosens up your muscles and their connective tissues.
  • Myofascial release. This type of massage creates room for tissues that may be trapped by distortions or fascial adhesions, freeing them from constriction.

Massage therapy promotes tissue healing, so you can get back to living your life as quickly as possible. By working to mobilize, loosen, and relax your muscles, you can help them stay limber. This will decrease your risk of future strains, sprains, and ruptures. 

Your soft tissues work hard to make sure your body is functioning correctly, so it is important to help optimize their health and function. If you are in Ottawa looking for massage therapist, request an appointment from Anatomy Physiotherapy Clinic therapists are happy to discuss our massage service with you and how it will benefit your life.
