The Scope of Practice for Massage as a Therapy, goes far beyond the simple goal of relaxation. When practiced remedially, Massage Therapy works incredibly well as both a relief care and preventative health approach. 

​

Our clinic operates six large treatment rooms dedicated to Massage Therapy and is the largest employer of Massage Therapists in town. In fact Effect Therapy began in 2018 as a Massage Therapy only clinic.

HEALTH BENEFITS THAT..

Begin immediately. One of the biggest advantages Massage Therapy has in its ability to treat conditions, maintain and improve mobility, and manage pain, is its effect on the circulation of blood throughout our body.

Increased blood 'flow' when blood vessels are constricted causes high blood 'pressure'. Alternatively, lower blood flow when vessels are dilated (open) can cause blood pressure to drop too low. els

During massage therapy, blood flow is increased through manipulation of soft tissues, and blood vessels are dilated due to the warm heat this causes. The result is a situation in which your body experiences the benefits of high blood flow without the consequences of high blood pressure.

​

And that is just where Massage Therapy starts!

As with any contraindication, RMTs are trained to identify issues such as blood pressure and will modify treatment to ensure the safety of their client.
