Massage therapy is recognized by both the general public and other health care professionals as an effective health care approach. Beyond having a stress- relieving relaxation effect, massage therapy offers a non-invasive, less drug-related approach to wellness. Massage therapy, when performed by a therapist who is registered with the provincial governing body, is covered by most health insurance plans. Registered massage therapists are qualified to effectively treat patients of all ages with conditions such as:

• Headaches
• Muscle pain
• Pregnancy
• Tendonitis including golfers and tennis elbow
• Frozen shoulder
• Sprains and strains
• Sports related injuries
• General stress and tension
