According to the RMT Association of Ontario, massage therapy benefits people of all ages. While it benefits the injured, ill and stressed, the real strength of massage therapy lies in prevention. There are tremendous benefits to be achieved through regular massage therapy treatments from a registered massage therapist. Whether you need to have a moment of relaxation, reduce muscle tension or attain relief from chronic pain, a therapeutic massage can enhance your overall sense of emotional and physical well-being as well as quality of life. Massage therapy is an important part of any healthy maintenance plan. It reduces and eliminates pain, improves joint mobility, improves circulation, improves immune system functions, increases lymphatic draining, reduces depression and anxiety, reduces tension within muscles and increases body awareness.
