Massage Therapy at Beachealth Therapeutic Treatment in The Beaches

Massage therapy is the manipulation of soft tissues and joints to prevent, develop, maintain, rehabilitate, or augment physical function. At Beachealth, our Registered Massage Therapists are integrated into your multidisciplinary care team, providing both therapeutic and relaxation massage.

Clinical Approach to Massage Therapy

Beachealth RMTs use a variety of treatment modalities whether you are looking for therapeutic treatment or a relaxation massage.

Treatment modalities include:

Swedish Massage: Longer gliding strokes and kneading to promote relaxation, improve circulation, and ease muscle tension.

Deep Tissue Massage: Firm pressure used to reach deeper muscle layers and improve the mobility of tissues.

Myofascial Trigger Point Release: Direct pressure on a hyper-irritable area of skeletal muscle tissue that can refer to pain and contribute to decreased range of motion.

Myofascial Release: Addresses fascia (connective tissue) to help improve range of motion.

Joint Mobilization: Gentle, low-velocity movements of the joints to improve local circulation.

TMJ Massage: Massage to the muscles of the temporomandibular joint (jaw) to address clicking, headaches and jaw pain

Prenatal & Postnatal Massage: Massage to help manage the shifting physical demands and postural stresses of pregnancy.

Your Massage Therapy Team

Patrice Wilson, RMT has been a member of the CMTO since 2004. She focuses on assessing and treating postural and musculoskeletal imbalances using deep tissue and manual soft tissue techniques to correct stresses and strains, helping prevent injury and maintain optimal health and mobility.

Jennifer Ingram, RMT earned her diploma in 2002 and has extensive experience treating sports injuries, headaches, lower back pain, postural imbalances, TMJ dysfunction, and prenatal massage. Her treatments combine Swedish massage, trigger point release, and instrument-assisted soft tissue techniques to reduce tension, relieve pain, and restore mobility.

Integrated Multidisciplinary Care

One advantage of our multidisciplinary clinic is practitioner communication and collaboration. For example, if your physiotherapist is addressing mobility issues, you can follow up with soft tissue work through massage therapy to complement each session and help improve recovery.
