The Benefits of Massage Therapy

​When we think of a massage, most of us envision a soothing body rub to reinvigorate sore and tired muscles. However, massage therapy isn’t only limited to muscle pain relief. The benefits of receiving a massage from, a Registered Massage Therapist, are numerous.

For example, a massage by a registered therapist can also improve blood circulation which is excellent for nerve health. Other benefits include: improved joint mobility; reduced muscle and joint pain; and improved lymphatic drainage.

The massage therapists at DRS Physio & Wellness are trained to treat patients of all ages with a variety of different conditions. For instance, our therapists can treat simple sprains and strains that may result from a sports related injury, to complex injury rehabilitation or disability.
