Synergy Physiotherapy + Pilates

massage therapy

Therapeutic massage is a manual application of deep or light pressure applied to the musculo-skeletal system (skin, muscles, tendons, ligaments, and fascia) to promote muscle relaxation, myofascial release, increased joint function, increased local blood flow/circulation.

Why should therapeutic massage be performed by a physiotherapist?

A physiotherapist:

• has a better understanding of an individual’s musculo-skeletal condition
• is able to relieve muscle tension and pain such as spasm, strains, and sprains
• has the skill to improve flexibility and mobility as well as enhance function, promote relaxation and well being
• is able to promote post injury rehabilitation
