If you are in pain, are stiff or have a restricted range of movement, it is worth considering chiropractic care. For over a hundred years, chiropractors have been helping people with these issues by correcting the alignment of their musculoskeletal system.
We offer this type of treatment at our Activa Clinics. Over many years, we have seen patients suffering from knee, shoulder, back, foot, hand and other types of pain gain considerable relief. Once pain levels have dropped, they have been able to take advantage of other forms of physical therapy. Treatments that have enabled them to release tension that has been building up for years and work to strengthen their body. Many have been able to stop the problems they originally came to us with from coming back by taking advantage of the multi-disciplinary approach that we offer.
Massage therapies have been used for thousands of years, across the world, to treat all kinds of ailments, conditions, and injuries. Look at any continent and you will find various massage techniques that originate there. Swedish massage from Europe, Ayurveda from India, Lomi from Hawaii, and Shiatsu from China, to name a few.
Most people feel better almost immediately after a massage therapy session. The fact that your muscles are more relaxed than normal and the blood flow in your body is greatly improved is responsible for this feeling.
But at some point, afterwards, you may start to ache a little. That is because your body has been very gently worked out by the therapists. They have been moving your muscles, limbs and stimulating your healing systems. So, for a day or two after a massage, your body is going to work more than normal. This can make you feel a little sore. But that can be quickly relieved by briefly applying ice.
From there, you will feel increasingly better. After a couple of sessions. you will notice that the underlying issues that you came to us with are improving. The severity of your symptoms will start to quickly taper off as you grow stronger with each session.
Massage sessions do far more than just promote the healing of your physical body. The hormones and chemicals that are released as a result of the deep relaxation you experience also benefit you on an emotional and mental level. They make you feel better within yourself. You become better equipped to cope with the ups and downs of life. Massage therapies can be used to get you in tune with your body again.
Massage therapy is also an effective way to promote healing. We have registered massage therapists to understand the mechanics and systems in your body.
Between them, they have many years of experience. They are used to working together to come up with the most effective treatment plan for each person. We make it a practice to discuss the needs of every patient as a team, so we can identify which massage therapy is right for each one. Or, in some cases, which combination of massage therapies will provide the best outcome for an individual.
This approach is particularly important for someone who is seeking relief from chronic pain. Often, there is more than one root cause, which means that a multi-disciplinary treatment plan will provide relief faster.
We are more than happy to provide long-term, ongoing support should you need that. With some conditions, your symptoms can flare up again. Often, if you catch things at an early stage and have just a few massage sessions you can stop your body from spiralling back into the negative cycle of pain, tension, and more pain. We teach you how to recognize the very earliest signs of trouble, so you know when to see your doctor or come to us for more treatments. Before things get as out of control as they were when you first came to us.
