Massage Services offered at MHTS
MHTS has a qualified massage therapist available to massage and treat soft tissue injuries for the public. Massage
Therapy is
a branch of natural health care that spans a wide variety of
therapeutic approaches. Massage works to improve a person’s health
through hands-on mobilization of muscles and other soft tissues of
the body. In
definitive terms, massage is described as the manipulation of the
soft tissues of the body, the muscles, the ligaments and tendons,
either to encourage the healing of specific injuries or to produce
the general beneficial effects of relaxing muscular tension,
stimulating blood circulation and improving the tone and strength of
the skin and the muscles. Do
You Need a Referral? You
do not normally require a
medical referral to see a
Massage Therapist, however we encourage you to advise your
doctor that you are receiving treatment. Hi The
benefits of massage were known to the ancient Chinese, Egyptian and
Greek cultures. It is cited in Chinese literature as early as 3000
BC. Hippocrates, the father of Western medicine, prescribed it for
his patients in 460 B C. The techniques most widely used today were
developed by a Swedish physician in the 19th century. Benefits
of Massage Therapy While
some Massage Therapists may focus primarily on a single method of
treatment, others will combine a variety of methods in their work.
Each session is tailored to the specific needs of the client. Far
beyond simply “feeling good”, massage can be extremely
beneficial for everyone, from infancy to childhood, through adult
life and in later years. Massage, your natural health therapy:
Whenever
visiting a massage therapist you should always feel comfortable
asking if they have graduated from a school that is accredited or
approved by a credible accrediting agency, such as the Society of
Clinical Masseurs. To
enjoy the benefits of massage which have been discussed, it is best
to receive a therapeutic massage from a practitioner who has blended
a thorough knowledge of anatomy, physiology, kinesiology,. and
massage technique with a sensitive, powerful touch and the healing
sense. Massage
