RELAXATION MASSAGE THERAPY (RMT)
Relaxation massage is for those of you who would like to shut off your brain, keep talking to a minimum, and prefer a gentler and/or less active approach to treatment. A relaxation focused massage can be a great way to down-regulate our nervous systems allowing rest and relaxation which we know is so critical to our overall health and well-being.
Relaxation treatments are less about a specific measurable outcome and more about you taking the time out to recoup and chill the f* out. Even during active treatment plans, it can be useful to take the focus off of pain or dysfunction for a treatment or two when you are managing higher levels of day-to-day stress.
* Please note that deeper massage techniques will not be used without a proper physical assessment to avoid exacerbating unknown muscular imbalances and that sports massage therapy approaches will often prove to be more effective when treating some pain patterns.
