Massage Therapy in Okotoks

At Restorative Sports Therapy, we offer several different types of massage therapy. Read below to learn more about massage in Okotoks.

Swedish Massage 

Is firm but gentle pressure to improve circulation, easing muscle aches and tension, improve flexibility and to create relaxation. The movements include gliding, kneading of individual muscles, friction, tapotement and vibration.

Deep tissue massage therapy 

Is similar to Swedish massage, but the deeper pressure is beneficial in releasing chronic muscle tension. The focus is on the deepest layers of muscle tissue, tendons and fascia which is the protective layer surrounding muscles, bones and joints.

MyoFascial release 

Is a very effective hands-on technique that provides sustained pressure into myofascial restrictions to eliminate pain and restore motion.

Prenatal Massage 

Is a healthy way to relieve many of the normal discomforts experienced during pregnancy, such as backaches, stiff neck, leg cramps, headaches and edema. It also reduces stress on weight-bearing joints, encourages blood and lymph circulation, helps to relax nervous tension, which aids in better sleep and can help relieve depression or anxiety caused by hormonal changes.

Trigger point massage therapy 

Is specifically designed to alleviate the source of the pain through cycles of isolated pressure and release. In this type of massage for trigger point therapy, the recipient actively participates through deep breathing as well as identifying the exact location and intensity of the discomfort.  The results and benefits of trigger point massage are releasing constricted areas in the muscles thus alleviating pain. You can experience a significant decrease in pain after just one treatment. Receiving massage with trigger point therapy on a regular basis can help manage pain and stress from chronic injuries.
