Registered Massage Therapy at Back Works

Massage therapy is the manipulation of soft tissues of the body including

muscles, connective tissue, tendons, ligaments and joints.

Its purpose is to address physical dysfunction in these areas

to alleviate physical pain and/or improve performance.

​​

​Massage therapy is a clinically-oriented healthcare option that helps alleviate the discomfort associated with every day occupational stresses, muscular over-use and many chronic pain conditions. Massage therapy can maintain, rehabilitate or augment physical function, and relieve pain.
Massage therapy should only be provided by a Registered Massage Therapist (RMT). An RMT is a primary healthcare provider in Ontario, and anyone may visit an RMT of their choice.

 

Many acute or chronic conditions can be treated using massage therapy, including:

​​

• Athletic and Sports Injuries (e.g. tennis and golfer’s elbow, runner’s knee, shin splints, rotator cuff injuries, Achilles Tendonitis)

• Occupation or hobby related over-use discomfort (e.g. tendonitis, carpal tunnel syndrome, sciatica and piriformis syndrome, mechanical low back pain)

• Post-surgery rehabilitation

• Chronic pain management

• Postural dysfunction

• Post-concussion soft tissue trauma and headaches​​​
