Back pain is one of the most common health problems in the North America - some 50 percent to 80 percent of adults have had back pain at some time, and 10 percent of all North Americans have back pain in a given year . Likewise, 1 in 4 households in Canada have someone affected by migraine headaches and costs the Canadian work force 7 million workdays each year!
Although there are pain-relieving and preventive medications available to treat the above health issues, they do not address the root cause of the problem.
Through the use of tested and tried techniques like Reflexology, deep-tissue massage therapy, acupuncture and acupressure as well as neuromuscular therapy, massage therapists can aid you by massaging away pain from nerves that are swollen within muscle tissue, and improve the flexibility of your body.

Massage is one of the oldest, simplest forms of therapy and is a system of stroking, pressing and kneading different areas of the body to relieve pain, relax, stimulate, and tone the body. Massage does much more than create a pleasant sensation on the skin, it also works on the soft tissues (the muscles, tendons, and ligaments) to improve muscle tone. Although it largely affects those muscles just under the skin, its benefits may also reach the deeper layers of muscle and possibly even the organs themselves. Massage also stimulates blood circulation and assists the lymphatic system (which runs parallel to the circulatory system), improving the elimination of waste throughout the body.
Massage therapy can be beneficial to people of all ages and conditions and is widely used to help
obtain relief from many specific problems, including:
• Inflammatory conditions such as arthritis and tendonitis
• Stress and associated conditions
• Headaches and migraines
• Muscle and related conditions such as spasms, strains and sprains
• Back pain
• Repetitive strain injury
• Circulatory and Respiratory problems
• Pregnancy and labor discomfort
• Post-injury and post surgical rehabilitation
Many Massage Therapists treat a variety of diseases and disorders while other Massage Therapists concentrate on certain conditions (fibromyalgia) or groups of people such as athletes, performers, women during pregnancy (including labor and delivery), infants and children. Toronto Therapy Directory has gathered them all in one place so you can quickly and easily choose the right therapist for you. Click here to find massage listings in your area.
