Massage Therapy in Downtown Toronto

Massage therapy is offered at our clinics in downtown Toronto on the PATH. If you are suffering from muscle tightness, tension from overuse and/or stiff joints our Registered Massage Therapists (RMTs) can help you.

Registered Massage Therapists are healthcare professionals that are regulated by the College of Massage Therapists of Ontario. They use a variety of hands on techniques to manipulate the soft tissues in your body (muscles, connective tissues, joints, tendons and ligaments) in order to provide therapeutic relief, decrease your pain and optimize your health.

Massage therapy can aid in the recovery of injured tissues and overused muscles in the body. In addition, RMTs can compliment other forms of therapy including physiotherapy, chiropractic care and acupuncture by speeding up the recovery process and preventing future re-injury.

Consider Massage Therapy for the Following Conditions:

Instrument Assisted Soft Tissue Mobilization (IASTM)

When necessary, our Massage Therapists can utilize IASTM techniques for your condition. IASTM was developed by leading medical professionals who used evidence and research to develop this innovative technique.

IASTM is a treatment option that can help to resolve pain and tightness in the body that is longstanding and that does not respond to conventional massage therapy techniques. The tools allow precision and depth in order to specifically target problem areas. IASTM is especially effective when treating dysfunctions of the fascia, scar tissue and fibrosis that develops with old injuries.

The tool allows for more efficient treatment and help to stimulate the production of new collagen (which is what the tissues in our body are composed of) and helps to ensure proper alignment of the new collagen so that the new tissue is stronger and is less likely to be re aggravated.

Benefits of IASTM:

• Faster recovery
• Reduced treatment time and fewer sessions required for results
• Effective for stubborn chronic conditions
• Reduces the need for medications and anti-inflammatory medications

IASTM works well for the following conditions:

• Strain or sprain to cervical, thoracic or lumbar spine
• Carpal Tunnel Syndrome
• Plantar Fascitis
• Achilles Tendonosis
• Lateral Epicondylitis (Tennis elbow)
• Medial Epicondylitis (Golfers elbow)
• Rotator Cuff Tendonosis
• Patellofemoral Pain Syndromes
• Scar Tissue
• Trigger Finger
• Adhesions and tightness post-surgery
• Many More (Just ask us and we are happy to let you know if IASTM may benefit your condition)
