RMT & SIT

 

Clinical Massage is considered to be medical in nature. Its focus is the rehabilitation of soft tissue conditions and injury.Massage therapy melts away stress and tension, relieving associated headaches and muscular aches and pains.

Massage therapy aids in the healing process from injury or over-use, and is an excellent form of preventive health care.

Many sports injuries, car accidents, repetitive actions on the job, and tension from everyday stress can cause problems that will cause pain, headaches, decreased range of motion, lower your resistance to illnesses and compromise your lifestyle.
