Rehabilitation therapy

In traditional rehab, physical or occupational therapists use exercises and manipulations to boost mobility and strengthen tissues, which can sometimes leave them stressed.

Massage therapy, on the other hand, targets muscles and soft tissues like fascia, skin, tendons, and ligaments. It enhances blood circulation, facilitating easier healing by improving nutrient delivery and waste removal. Many patients experience increased flexibility and a broader range of motion after massage treatments.

Rehabilitation can be stressful, but massage therapy helps ease tension and improve overall well-being.

By incorporating techniques such as myofascial release, muscle energy, and positional release, massage therapists support the rehab process. These methods help relax tight muscles and connective tissues, enhancing their flexibility and responsiveness to traditional physical and occupational therapies.

Removing waste and toxins from the blood and lymphatic system improves overall bodily function. This process reduces pain and discomfort, making traditional exercises more manageable. Additionally, reduced emotional stress helps clients better respond to guidance and follow through with at-home care.

Various types of medical massage will focus on the areas of the body related to the medical diagnosis for which the rehabilitation is directed.  These include deep tissue, trigger point, neuromuscular, myofascial release, hydrotherapy, and others.

Our certified therapists are skilled in assisting individuals undergoing rehabilitation. We begin with a thorough review of your medical history, including any conditions or areas where massage might be contraindicated. We also collaborate with your other healthcare providers, such as doctors, osteopaths, chiropractors, and dentists, to ensure a coordinated approach to your care.

By working together with other healthcare professionals, we help reduce anxiety and enhance circulation during rehabilitation. Calgary RMT offers the convenience of mobile massage therapy, allowing us to come directly to your home, minimizing travel for you and your family.
