Massage Therapy Calgary Mahogany

Massage Therapy is a recognized healthcare treatment that works on the body's soft tissue to relieve pain, reduce tension, and support your overall health and wellbeing. At Massage Addict Calgary Mahogany, Registered Massage Therapists use it to manage a wide range of conditions, from chronic pain and stress to injury recovery and postural issues.

Your first visit at Massage Addict Calgary Mahogany starts with a health history form so your RMT understands your goals, any injuries or conditions, and what you'd like to focus on. You'll have a chance to talk through any concerns before treatment begins.

Once your treatment plan is set, your RMT will step out to give you full privacy to get comfortable on the table. They'll knock before re-entering. Throughout the Massage, you're encouraged to speak up about pressure, comfort, or anything else — your RMT is there to adjust to your needs.

Depending on your preventative and maintenance needs, one Massage per month is the recommended frequency. If your specific condition or needs demand it, your RMT will design a customized treatment plan which may involve more or less frequent Massages.

Yes. Massage Therapy can be particularly effective when you're in pain. With the right pressure and technique, Massage has a direct effect on the circulatory system, which helps reduce inflammation and ease discomfort. Massage Addict Calgary Mahogany RMTs are experienced in treating patients with acute and chronic pain conditions.

Always let your RMT know about your pain before and during your treatment. They'll adjust pressure and technique accordingly, and you can speak up at any point if something doesn't feel right.

It’s not uncommon to feel some muscle soreness after a Massage. Massage triggers a release of lactic acid stored in tight muscles, which can create a temporary feeling of soreness. The good news? Many people enjoy post-Massage heightened energy levels and an increased range of motion.

Massages last for one hour, including a 5-10-minute dressing time and health assessment to ensure a safe, personalized Massage. Dressing and assessment times can vary.
