Benefits of Massage Therapy

Iron 97 now offers Registered Massage Therapy!

Massage Therapy is one of the oldest forms of healthcare, dating back over 5,000 years to ancient Egypt, China and India. Today, it is one of the most widely used treatments for muscle and joint conditions, pain management, relaxation, and optimizing athletic performance.

What is RMT?

Registered Massage Therapy (or RMT) is a protected title in Ontario, which means that anyone who uses that term must be properly educated, licensed, and uphold the standards of the College of Massage Therapists of Ontario (CMTO).

What do RMTs do?

RMTs may use a variety of massage techniques, including:

• Soft tissue manipulation

• Deep tissue massage

• Trigger point release

• Myofascial release

• Stretching

• Joint mobilizations

• Shiatsu

• Swedish Massage

Some RMTs also use modalities in their treatments, which can include cupping, hot stone massage, aromatherapy and more. RMTs are trained to select the most appropriate treatment methods for their clients’ needs.

Benefits of RMT?

Massage therapy can help with a variety of clinical conditions, including muscle strains, joint sprains, lower back pain, neck pain, headaches, chronic pain, and sports injuries.

Some medical conditions result in muscle and joint stiffness that could benefit from RMT, including stroke, arthritis, Parkinson’s disease, fibromyalgia, pregnancy (pre-natal and post-natal), multiple sclerosis, and whiplash.

Even if you don’t have pain, RMTs can help improve your posture by relaxing and stretching tight muscles. Massage therapy can also be great for stress relief!
