Revitalize Your Body and Mind with A Therapeutic Massage in Downtown Vancouver

Therapeutic Massage Or Deep Tissue Massage

Therapeutic massage is a broad term that describes any massage that will help relieve pain, reduce stress, and work on a specific problem.

The most common type of therapeutic massage that comes to mind is deep tissue massage, known for its firm pressured massage technique. While a deep tissue massage has its benefits, like breaking down scar tissue and getting your blood circulating, it might not always be the best course of action all the time.

Our registered massage therapist will always look to apply the right amount of pressure depending on the issue, resulting in a lighter touch.

Types Of Therapeutic Massage

While deep tissue massage is the most common, there are other types of therapeutic massage, and massage therapists can also combine these if they believe it will help the body heal. 

• Neuromuscular Massage

• Swedish Massage

• Trigger Point Therapy

• Sports Massage

Our registered massage therapists are highly trained and can work on several medical issues that are either chronic or acute. Below are some of the most common problems that benefit from a therapeutic massage:

• Work-related injuries - Sitting or standing postures held several hours a day.

• Migraines, cluster headaches, tension headaches or sinus headaches.

• Whiplash.

• Temporomandibular joint and muscle disorder.

• Strains and sprains (after inflammation has gone down).

• Low back pain.

• Tendonitis.

• Radiating pain.

• Post-surgical scar tissue (with doctor’s approval).

• Frozen shoulder.

The Benefits Of Therapeutic Massage Therapy

Whether you are coming due to a sore back or severe chronic pain, a therapeutic massage can help you relax. Your therapist helps soothe and relieve muscle aches, which will, in turn, reduce stress, improve your sleep, and improve your mood.

Therapeutic massage therapy has become an even more popular treatment as the world experiences more stress, aggression, and anxiety-ridden situations.

A therapeutic massage lets someone let go of most of that tension that would have built up or stretched out those tight muscles pulled from bad posture or lifting something when the body is tired.
