MASSAGE THERAPY - Cedargrove Massage Therapy

MASSAGE THERAPY - for GENERAL HEALTH & WELLNESS

We are pleased to offer general Wellness Massage Therapy to help reduce stress, tension and/or general aches and pains.

We will conduct a brief postural assessment to help us identify where you are holding your stress (ie. neck and shoulders, low back, thighs, calves...). Then, we will tailor your Wellness Massage Treatment to include those regions. You may find that you may experience relief over a longer period of time, beyond one day after your treatment.

If you wish, we also could prescribe some simple exercises and/or relaxation techniques you can do at home to help you manage stress & tension.

MASSAGE THERAPY - THERAPEUTIC - for CHRONIC PAIN and/or ACUTE PAIN, INFLAMMATION

Early Massage Therapy intervention after an acute incident (muscle strain, joint sprain, muscle spasm, muscle cramp, nerve pain, Headache/Migraine...) can help you to heal more quickly and fully than no intervention at all.

After learning of your treatment goals, we will conduct an orthopedic assessment to assist us in identifying the what, where, why and how of your injury/region of pain. Then, we will administer Massage Therapy treatment to address your region of acute and/or chronic pain.

The first visit likely will be a brief one, depending on your stage of healing. And, a follow-up visit(s) likely will be necessary to help you get past that initial stage of acute pain.

Following treatment, we will prescribe therapeutic exercises specific to your stage of healing that you can do at home when you are able. This will help you maintain the positive gains achieved during treatment.

SPORT MASSAGE THERAPY - THERAPEUTIC - for SPORT & EXERCISE INJURY, RECOVERY & PREVENTION

Whether you are a competitive athlete (youth or adult), or you enjoy an at-home exercise programme, it would be our pleasure to be a part of your healthcare team; to help you to continue to enjoy your sport or activity!

Even if you are not injured, but you would like to take steps to prevent injury, we would be honoured to assist you!

After learning of your treatment goals, we will conduct a thorough orthopedic assessment, at your initial visit, to assist us in identifying the what, where, why and how of your injury/region of pain. Then, we will tailor your Massage Therapy treatment to our assessment findings. Following treatment, we will prescribe therapeutic exercises, that you can do at home, to help you maintain the positive gains achieved during treatment.

Ultimately, our goal is to help you obtain optimal performance so that you can return to, and/or continue to participate in, the sport or athletic activity you love!

If we are unfamiliar with your particular sport, we will do our research to bring ourselves up to speed!

MASSAGE THERAPY - THERAPEUTIC - for PREHAB & REHAB

Massage Therapy, when administered prior to surgery (Prehab), can help maintain soft tissue health, not only in the affected area but also in the compensatory regions that are working hard to support the injured area.

After surgery (Rehab), Massage Therapy, in conjunction with your Physiotherapy rehabilitation programme, can help to maintain a steady, efficient and effective recovery not only of the surgically treated area, but also of the compensatory regions that will have had to adapt to and help support the the newly repaired region.

In both cases (Prehab and Rehab), after learning of your treatment goals, we will conduct a thorough orthopedic assessment at your initial visit. This assessment will help us identify regions of strength, weakness and compensation in relation to the affected area. As well, with your consent, we will communicate and work with your other healthcare providers, as a team, to do our part to help you recover as quickly, efficiently and effectively as possible.
