Massage Therapy

Massage therapy is a powerful tool for promoting healing, relaxation, and overall well-being. This hands-on technique uses gentle pressure to target the deep layers of muscle and connective tissue in the body, helping to relieve tension, reduce stress, increase joint mobility, and reduce or eliminate pain patterns. Whether used as a standalone treatment or combined with other therapies, massage therapy has numerous benefits for your overall health and wellness.

Whether you want to improve your physical function, speed up your recovery from an injury or illness, or relax and de-stress, massage therapy can help. It promotes detoxification by increasing circulation and lymphatic drainage throughout the body, supporting healthy immune function and relieving chronic pain caused by inflammation and tension. Additionally, massage therapy can help to improve sleep quality, reduce stress levels, promote better mental clarity and focus, and increase overall energy levels.

WellVitality RMTs provide a range of different massage techniques to help address your health and wellness needs:

A massage in which the focus is on light, gentle techniques to soothe the mind, lowering the heart rate and relieving stress.

Sports massage practitioners specialize in the needs of professional athletes and people who regularly participate in sports. The two main aspects are conditioning and injury prevention work and rehabilitation if injury occurs. A sports massage usually involves massage, exercise, and stretching programs.

Treatment: Kinesio taping is done by a therapist who evaluates and assesses the body and area to be taped. The information gathered from the assessment will allow for the proper treatment protocol to be laid out. Manual muscle testing, range of motion testing, gait assessment, and other orthopedic special tests deemed necessary are done in this treatment.

Benefits: Kinesio taping has positive physiological effects on the skin, lymphatic and circulatory system, fascia, muscles, ligaments, tendons, and joints. It can be used in conjunction with many other treatments and modalities.

A massage that focuses on techniques which manipulate deeper muscles to relieve physiological stress and aid healing.

Prenatal massage treatments are done on a prenatal table where the client can safely lay face down as there is a comfortable cut out for the belly and chest. This table allows women to lie on their stomachs until the ninth month.

After your Doctor has cleared you for massage treatments, your therapist will tailor a treatment plan to your needs. Helping to soothe any musculoskeletal pain / postural imbalances and help your body and mind recover from the stresses of childbirth and pregnancy.

Infant massage involves active participation from the parent(s) in learning simple, relaxing massage techniques and stretches to perform on their infants to deepen the parent-child relationship and manage some childhood discomforts.

Thai massage is received through assisted yoga stretches to aid flexibility and mobility. It is important to note that this treatment is done with the client in yoga clothing.

A massage that deals with specific muscle injuries, repetitive strain, poor posture, and chronic and sub-acute conditions.

Ultimately a relaxation treatment which focuses on therapeutics due to deep moist heat. This massage relieves tension and tight muscles.

Also known as on-site massage, it is a specific, de-stressing massage and acupressure-based treatment performed with the client fully clothed in specially developed massage chairs that can be used in almost any professional, public, or private setting. This can be great for our clients with limitations to laying prone or supine on the massage table.

It uses pressure (via suction) to release adhesions between myofascial layers and improves overall skin and tissue health. It helps with cellulite, wrinkles, scar tissue and limited range of motion.

Fully-certified manual lymphatic drainage and complete decongestive therapy.

Lymphedema affects lymphatic vessels responsible for transporting protein-rich fluid (Lymphatic fluid) back into the circulatory system. When lymph vessels or lymph nodes are missing, impaired, damaged, removed or malformed, the liquid isn’t properly transported or filtered, and an accumulation of Lymphatic fluid occurs. This results in the condition known as Lymphedema.

There are two types of Lymphedema: Primary Lymphedema and Secondary Lymphedema. Others may have malformations within their lymphatic systems. This can occur without apparent cause at different stages in life (Primary Lymphedema).

To date, there is no known cure for Lymphedema. However, it’s a condition that can be managed and treated effectively with CDT (Complete Decongestive Therapy) by a Certified Lymphedema Therapist (CLT).

CDT is the worldwide Gold Standard for Lymphedema management.

Complete Decongestive Therapy consists of a 4-part treatment:

  1. Skin Care – Patients suffering from Lymphedema are susceptible to infections of the skin and nails.
  2. Manual Lymphatic Drainage – Manual Lymphatic Drainage (MLD) is a set of techniques that help move lymphatic fluid from the affected area into an entire area. This fluid is then introduced back into the circulatory system via intact Lymph nodes and vessels.
  3. Compression Therapy – Proper compression therapy dramatically enhances MLD treatments. It applies pressure from the outside and allows fluid to flow back into the lymph vessels. The therapy uses short-stretch compression bandages and transitions into compression garments that can be custom-made off the shelf.
  4. Decongestive Exercises – The exercise program aims to improve lymph circulation and maximize functional mobility. Exercises are performed at least twice daily for 10-15 minutes wearing compression bandages.
