Registered Massage Therapy in Mississauga

Massage therapy has a therapeutic effect on the body and optimizes health and well-being.

Registered massage therapy is a hands-on manipulation of soft tissues of the body, specifically focusing on the muscles, connective tissue, tendons, ligaments, and joints.

RMT increases circulation by bringing oxygen and nutrients to body tissues, increases flexibility and mobility, promotes relaxation, helps alleviate stress, reduces muscle tension, improves joint mobility, helps clear lactic acid and other waste, which reduces pain, stiffness in muscles and joints, and much more.

Whether you need a moment of relaxation, relief from chronic pain, or a reprieve from muscle tension, massage therapy can help enhance your overall sense of emotional and physical well-being.

Shiatsu massage therapy is a Japanese massage performed through the clothes. Shiatsu translated means "finger pressure" in Japanese. The vertical pressure of shiatsu is applied to specific points on the body with finger, thumbs, palms and elbows. Shiatsu uses acupressure points along pathways in the body (meridians) to move a form of energy known as "Qi". It is a non-invasive therapy which uses a combination of stretching and comfortable holding pressure.

There is no oil or lotion used during a shiatsu treatment. Shiatsu has both physical and mental benefits due to the fact that the art of shiatsu looks at the body as an integrated whole, bringing together mind, body, and spirit. Shiatsu aims to prevent disease with consistent and fluid movements that open channels of energy. Shiatsu can treat conditions which are acute or chronic, as well as conditions which are physical or emotional in nature such as: headaches, back pain, neck and shoulder pain, repetitive strain syndrome, constipation, menstrual problems, arthritis, and more. Shiatsu massage is beneficial to people of all ages.

Cupping therapy is an ancient form of alternative medicine. The approach is to attach small glass cups in which a suction that is created (usually by means of heat), which are then applied to the skin drawing up the underlying tissues.

Cupping therapy helps to relieve back and neck pain, stiff muscles, improve circulation, reduce inflammation, cough, asthma, and improve metabolism to name a few. Cupping also helps to reduce cellulite, and is used as a type of deep-tissue massage.

Cupping is a therapeutic method used for breaking up the blockages to restore the body's natural flow of energy.
