Massage therapy focuses on increasing blood and lymphatic circulation and on the relaxation of soft tissues (muscles, tendons, connective tissue, ligaments) in the body.
Our Registered Massage Therapist in Calgary help calm down the nervous system by enhancing total relaxation, relieving pain in the body, and restoring balance in a body that has been abused, overworked, and neglected. Their treatment techniques include Deep tissue, injury recovery, pre/post natal massage, Hot Stone massage, Trigger Point Therapy, and Swedish Relaxation.
Our Registered Massage Therapist in Calgary works collaboratively with the other disciples at Seton Integrative Health Clinic (naturopathic doctors, chiropractors, acupuncturists, TCM doctors) to provide the best care and focus on the totality of a patient’s health. For e.g., the massage therapist and naturopathic doctor may collaborate together on treating a patient with chronic pain; the massage therapist will focus on the physical pain, and at the same time, the naturopathic doctor will identify the underlying root cause of inflammation that is occurring in the body. Our Registered Massage Therapist in Calgary also works closely with other healthcare providers in the building.
Osteopathy
Osteopathy is a form of manual therapy that started in 1874 with a formal school starting in 1891 as a form of complete health care, similar to chiropractic which came out at roughly the same time. The goal of osteopathy was to improve health by ensuring optimum function and alignment of the joints in the body, and ensuring that the artery, vein, and lymphatic systems were free.
Nowadays, it has 2 major schools of thought – the American D.O.s, which are Osteopathic Physicians, are almost identical to M.D.s and take the same time and amount of education and have the same rights. European D.O.s are dedicated Osteopathic Manual Therapists that function more closely to a chiro or physiotherapist.
Those without the American D.O. designation are not physicians and, in Canada, are referred to as Osteopathic Manual Therapists to help delineate between the two.
An Osteopathic Manual Therapist helps deal with musculoskeletal issues and movement dysfunction, helping reduce pain through gentle techniques. In addition to this, I use nutrition and corrective exercise, along with education in pain science, to help patients understand their chronic pain, manage their pain, and create strategies to help deal with that pain.
- Craniosacral Therapy
Craniosacral therapy is a gentle, hands-on approach that releases tensions deep in the body to relieve pain and dysfunction and improve whole-body health and performance. Everyday stresses and strains placed on the body often cause body tissues to tighten and compress the flow of cerebrospinal fluid in the bones of the skull, spine, and pelvis. Craniosacral therapy is non-invasive and uses gentle pressure on the head, neck, and back to relieve stress and pain, and re-establish balance in the nervous system, which then enhances the body’s ability to heal itself.
