Massage therapy is the manipulation of the muscles and ligaments often using oils and lotions to facilitate a gentle glide across the skin. The underlying musculature is kneaded with a variety of different strokes to provide the physiological benefit of increased direct arterial flow and indirect venous flow. This increased circulation helps decrease hypertonicity of the muscles and allows an increase in range-of-movement in the joints of the body. This is helpful to relieve pain, restore function and promote relaxation.

Massage therapy is used in the care of sports injuries and the maintenance of optimal sports performance. It is extremely beneficial in the treatment of motor vehicle accident (MVA) injuries as well as for patients who are undergoing cancer treatment, post-surgical rehab, pre and post-natal care, backpain, sciatica, headaches and migraines.

Massage therapy is practiced by thousands of professionally trained therapists who work in medical clinics, health clubs, chiropractic offices and private clinics such as Claudia Salzmann & Associates.

At Claudia Salzmann & Associates we use a light mineral oil which is hypoallergenic, scent-free and non-staining.

Most people find the treatment deeply relaxing, so massage therapy is not just good for you, it feels good too!

Massage therapy treatments are 1 hour and covered for reimbursement under most extended health care benefit plans.
