What is Registered Massage Therapy?
Registered Massage Therapy involves the skilled assessment and treatment of soft tissues—including muscles, tendons, ligaments, and connective tissue—as well as joints. This therapeutic practice not only helps to alleviate physical dysfunction and reduce pain, but it also promotes injury prevention and enhanced physical function.
Our goal is to help you restore balance, improve mobility, and increase circulation, ultimately leading to improved flexibility and an overall boost to your body’s musculoskeletal health.
