The Benefits of Massage Therapy and Why You Should Book Today

Massage Therapy is often viewed as a relaxation activity that calms the mind and body. Massage therapy is so much more than that, especially when done by a Registered Massage Therapist (RMT). At GMG Health and Wellness, we employ only Registered Massage Therapists with the main focus on the most efficient and meaningful recovery of our patients. Let’s dive in deeper and figure out what exactly massage therapy treatment can provide.

During the course of our daily lives, we tend to develop imbalances in our bodies due to sedentary life style, poor movement habits, bad pasture and/or overuse. When not addressed these can build up and lead to an injury, headaches, back pain and neck pain. Massage therapy is a great way to prevent injury and get your body balanced quickly. It targets soft and deep tissue to release tension in muscle groups, break down fascia, and alleviate sprains and strains. However, at GMG we take it a step further; our Registered Massage Therapists work hand-in-hand with our Chiropractors to offer the best possible service to our clients. This allows us to find the cause of your discomfort or pain and treat it effectively.
