Foundations Massage Therapy Ottawa: Relaxation, Pain Relief & More!

Massage Therapy

Massage therapy is the manipulation of soft tissues in the body to improve your physical as well as emotional health. It can be utilized alone or in conjunction with other therapies to treat acute, chronic, and/or overuse conditions.

The benefits offered by massage are immense, and include relaxation, reduced muscular tension, pain and inflammation, as well as increased joint range of motion, circulation, and lymphatic drainage.

Massage can also be used to help manage headaches, neck and lower back pain, sports injuries, sprains/strains, stress and anxiety, pregnancy, muscle spasms, and arthritis.
