Massage Therapy Winnipeg

(Sports/Deep Tissue/Therapeutic)

At Prairie Trail Physiotherapy and Sports Injury Clinic, we offer massage therapy services to complement your physiotherapy treatment plan or independently for many health benefits, as described below.

Massage therapy can be used in the treatment of both acute and chronic stages of conditions. While massage therapy can benefit the injured, the ill and the stressed, the strength of massage therapy in preventing illness and conditions before they develop should not be overlooked.

Massage therapy has a wide range of benefits for people of all ages including children, older adults, pregnant women, athletes, office workers and those affected by various medical conditions.

These benefits are known to include:

  • Effective reduction and management of pain (including postoperative management, arthritis, whiplash, sprains/strains, work related injuries, sports injuries, and cancer-related pain)
  • Management of depression and anxiety
  • Improved immune function
  • Reduction of inflammation
  • Improved body awareness
  • Decrease in stress hormones
  • Enhanced healing of scar tissue
  • Improved sleep
  • Reduction of muscle tension and spasm
  • Reduction of headaches
  • Improved joint mobility
  • Improved posture
  • Improved lymphatic drainage.
  • Pregnancy and labour support
