What Is Advanced Massage Therapy Calgary South ?
Massage therapy is the assessment and planned treatment of soft tissue (muscles, ligaments, tendons) and the joints of the body. It provides relief and prevention of physical dysfunction and pain. Therapists apply soft tissue manipulation and some joint mobilization techniques to assist the body’s efforts to heal and relieve pain.
Our therapists are all certified in the 2200 hour program and are constantly upgrading by taking extra continued educational courses. They all have extensive knowledge of the human body and are trained in how best to treat all musculoskeletal conditions and dysfunctions.Â
Currently in Alberta, not all massage therapists are trained in the same manner. Our massage therapists have undergone the highest level of training and therefore our clinic is able to be billed under extended medical coverage, WCB claims and MVA claims.
We would love to meet you.
