Therapeutic Massage/Deep Tissue Massage is the ideal treatment for injuries or muscle pain stemming from sports or work. Therapeutic massage can also help with the aches and pains of everyday life. Therapeutic massage affects the circulatory, lymphatic, nervous and musculoskeletal systems. Many also find therapeutic massage to be relaxing and relieve stress from tight muscles. Therapeutic massage is sometimes referred to as deep tissue massage. These types of massage are usually more vigorous and deeper than a relaxation massage. After a therapeutic or deep tissue massage you often feel as if you have stretched or worked out the body part that was massaged. Therapeutic or deep tissue massage is often recommended for individuals who: - experience consistent pain - are involved in heavy physical activity - have sustained physical injury. Deep tissue work varies greatly from massage therapist to massage therapist. When receiving deep tissue work, it is important to communicate what you are feeling and provide feedback if the pressure is too light or too deep.

Naturopathic medicine is a distinct primary health care system that blends modern scientific knowledge with traditional and natural forms of medicine. The naturopathic philosophy is to stimulate the healing power of the body and treat the underlying cause of disease. Treating both acute and chronic conditions, naturopathic treatments are chosen based on the individual patient – their physiological, structural, psychological, social, spiritual, environment and lifestyle factors. In addition to diet and lifestyle changes, natural therapies including herbal medicine, supplements, IV therapy, and acupuncture, may also be used. Naturopathic Doctors in Alberta are governed and licensed by the Alberta College of Naturopathic Doctors.
