Massage Therapy specializes in
the manual manipulation of your body's soft tissue. It is used
to treat acute and chronic conditions, and is effective as a
preventative measure that has profound benefits for total well
being. There are several different techniques and types of massage.
General Benefits of Massage:
• Increases blood and lymph circulation
• Increases mobility and improves posture.
• Improves musculoskeletal imbalances by affecting the muscle tissue and
nervous system.
• Helps aid in the recovery of strains and repetitive strain injuries.
• Improves concentration, and total well being
• Decreases mental, physical and emotional stress.
Is Massage right for you?
It may take between 1 to 3 treatments
before you feel the positive results of massage. If
you have not experienced positive results, you might consider
a different therapist (as each therapist utilizes different
techniques) or perhaps massage is not the appropriate modality
for you.
Choosing the right Massage Therapist
When choosing a Massage Therapist choose carefully.
Make sure they have proper credentials. Did they graduate from
an
accredited school? Are they licensed? Do
their skills and personality match your needs?
In Winnipeg it is mandatory for massage therapists
to have a City of Winnipeg License, a valid CPR certificate,
training from an accredited school, and a membership with a professional
massage association.
Finding the right therapist can be a challenge,
but once you find them, keep them. A
suggestion for finding the right match is to see a therapist at
least twice. The first time the client is getting used
to the therapist and the therapist is getting used to the client’s
tissues. The second visit will be the true test if the therapist
is a match.
At Bodhi we have eight therapists, all are
fully licensed by the City of Winnipeg and offer their services
in
a professional manner.
