Do you suffer from back pain, neck pain, or chronic shoulder problems? Aktiv Coast Healthcare Massage Therapists Can Help!

It’s a common misconception that most injuries develop suddenly, as it’s much more common for muscle and joint problems to slowly develop over years and months. Muscle stiffness and tension are often early warning signs that there is a problem that needs to be addressed well before the pain and injury has developed. Small, but repetitive overuse movements, stress, and poor posture after often the root cause – something we all do if we sit at a desk or commute to work! Pain is the body’s way of letting you know that there is a problem that needs to be treated. Early treatment often leads to a better outcome.

Massage Therapy treatment is used to relieve pain and muscle tension, and to create a relaxed and restorative state to speed up recovery. Specific treatment techniques are also used to increase micro-circulation and stimulate the muscles and connective tissue to heal. A relaxed state is essential in allowing your body to heal and recover. Our massage therapist will also teach you about your injury, what to avoid, and give you exercises and stretches to keep you feeling great in between appointments.

Massage therapy for relaxation and recovery!

We all have stress in our everyday lives, but the way that we deal with this stress is often the factor that determines its effect on our overall health. Stress can contribute to many chronic diseases, and contributes to increased muscle tension, and fatigue. Regular exercise and adequate sleep time is essential when dealing with stress, but it’s also important to schedule time to relax and un-wind for yourself. Massage can play a big part in counteracting the negative effect of stress on the body. At Aktiv Coast Healthcare in Tsawwassen, our massage therapist can help you with this area of your health and well-being. Due to this added health benefit we recommend coming in for regular massage therapy treatment on an on-going basis even after the initial injury has been treated . Maintenance or supportive care is important to reduce muscle tension and stress, speed up your recovery and healing, and to reduce the harmful effects of stress on the body.
