Massage therapy has become deeply ingrained into the wellness strategies of hundreds of thousands of Canadians, including those of individuals and households right here in the BC Lower Mainland. Many of the nation’s hospitals are increasingly incorporating RMT massage therapy into patient care, particularly for pain management and specialized care units. Widespread adoption is the result of both research, supported by the National Health Practitioners of Canada (NHPC) and experts, and public response regarding positive outcomes which include but are not exclusive to the following:
- Pain relief and injury recovery: RMT massage therapy has shown to be effective for managing chronic pain related to the likes of overuse injuries in addition to conditions such as arthritis and fibromyalgia. It is also associated with reduced muscle soreness and improved range of motion.
- Reduction of scar tissue formation: RMT massage therapy has shown to be beneficial in reducing post-surgery scar tissue formation.
- Stress / anxiety reduction and mental wellbeing: The general public widely associates massage therapy as a treatment for anxiety and stress that supports mental wellbeing. Physiologically, it accomplishes this by stimulating the release of endorphins and through cortisol (stress hormone) reduction. Meanwhile, by promoting relaxation, massage can improve sleep quality and can enhance mental clarity during waking hours.
- Improved circulation and immunity: Massage therapy employed by a registered massage therapist (RMT) increases blood flow which assists in delivering important nutrients to tissues that also supports the lymphatic system which can boost immunity and subsequently fight infections.
- Improved movement and flexibility: A regular regime of RMT massage therapy can sustainably loosen tight muscles and improve overall joint mobility.
