Massage Therapy
All our massage therapists have been trained in anatomy, physiology and the technique of body massage for the treatments of various conditions resulting from inactivity, strenuous activity, sport and athletics. As well as this knowledge, each therapist has a particular specialty.
Massage therapy is a skilled technique of manual manipulation of soft tissues of the human body resulting in therapeutic benefits to the nervous, circulatory and lymphatic systems, easing pain and discomfort. It stimulates the flow of body fluids, breaks up adhesion and diminishes tension. It can compensate in part for lack of exercise and muscular contraction in people who perhaps through injury, illness or age are forced to remain inactive. Massage therapy has both physiological and psychological advantages.
Northcare massage therapy responds well to:
- Muscular and nervous tension
- Damaged tissues
- Muscle tightness and pain
- Poor muscle and skin tone
- Poor circulation
- Arthritis
- Headaches
- Sports injuries
