A variety of modalities may be used during your Massage Therapy session. Your RMT may use a combination of soft-tissue manual therapy techniques, and also active therapy such as strengthening, stretching, and other rehabilitative exercises.
Each modality is mindfully selected, dependent on individual needs, which may change from one session to the next.
Modalities may include, but are not limited to:
You may feel mild to moderate discomfort during and/or after a Massage Therapy session. This is normal. The feeling is similar to the sensation felt as a result of a workout at the gym (aka Delayed Onset Muscle Soreness, or DOMS).
The discomfort may last between 12-72 hours post-treatment. If you have questions or concerns, we encourage you to discuss this with your RMT. Modifications to treatment can be immediately implemented to accommodate individual needs for desired experience and health goals.
