What Are the Benefits of Massage Therapy?

Massage therapy as a standalone treatment or as part of an integrated treatment plan (such as physiotherapy or chiropractic care) can be beneficial in treating many conditions.


Therapeutic massage works by increasing blood circulation to injured areas. This helps reduce swelling and increases the supply of nutrients required for healing.


Following an injury (such as a sprained ankle or even whiplash), the body often forms tiny matted clusters of scar tissue (called adhesions) as it repairs itself. These fibres can prevent proper healing and make movements feel painful or tight. Massage therapy helps reduce the formation of such scar tissue — or in the case of older injuries, it can help make these tissues more flexible.


Research has also shown that massage therapy is highly effective when it comes to reducing stress, improving mental health, and enhancing the body’s immune functions by relieving the muscular, nervous, and circulatory systems.

Preparing for Your Treatment

Before beginning treatment at our Peterborough massage therapy clinic, we will ask you to fill out a health history form. This allows our RMTs to ensure that massage therapy is a safe option for you. The form also provides our team with the necessary information needed to move forward with treatment, including your primary complaints, medical history, and any pre-existing conditions.


Our RMTs will also ask questions or clarifications about your provided information as needed. All questions will be geared towards a better understanding of your primary concerns and/or pre-existing conditions.


To ensure that your massage therapy treatment is as closely tailored to your needs as possible, our RMTs may also perform a preliminary assessment. This allows them to determine what may be causing your pain or discomfort, along with other contributing factors that may be at play.


Before commencing your treatment, your RMT will explain what they believe is the cause of your concerns and how they plan to address it through massage therapy. That way, you’ll be fully informed on the techniques that will be used for your specific plan and educated on how they will effectively treat your primary concerns.
