Back pain doesn't have to be complicated. Often it is a result of chronic postural habits, tight muscles, lack of movement throughout the day, or improper lifting or bending. Good news is that back pain can often be resolved with deep tissue massage, wellness massage or sports massage and a simple stretching and movement protocol.
With the increased use of cell phones, computers and sitting our posture is becoming increasingly compromised. Every inch our head looks down or comes forward, an additional 10lbs is added to our shoulders to maintain the position of our head. This causes muscles to become chronically tight - its our bodies innate response to having to maintain improper alignment of our head over our shoulders. Getting regular therapeutic or deep tissue massage for example, can help restore balance in your muscles and body !
Arthritis can cause significant joint pain and stiffness. Massage Therapy can help maintain joint mobility and reduce pain. In combination with gentle movement programs, massage therapy can be a helpful tool to improve the quality of your daily activities.

Posture is an accumulation of our daily habits and the balance between the strength and mobility of opposing muscle groups. Massage can be one tool along with strength training and stretching to maintain and improve posture long term.

Scar tissue massage can be a great tool to improve recovery after surgery. Many patients benefit from scar tissue treatments starting around 4 weeks post operation - or when advised by your doctor. Scar tissue massage helps limit adhesions to underlying tissue, promotes healthy healing of scars, and reduces the chances of tightness of surrounding joints/muscles.
Knee replacement surgery can often lead to decreased mobility of the knee and tightness of surrounding muscles. Massage Therapy can be a great tool to help promote muscle relaxation, improve circulation to tissues, and aid in increasing range of motion.
