what is massage therapy?
Massage is a hands-on treatment that works with:
-
muscles and tendons
-
fascia and other soft tissues
-
the subcutaneous layers just under the skin
The goals are to:
-
release tension and “knots”
-
improve blood and lymph circulation
-
support tissue recovery
-
calm an overworked nervous system
At Roots, massage is not a one-style-fits-all routine. Because your therapist is also a physiotherapist, they understand:
-
your posture and movement patterns
-
how old injuries and scars affect your tissues
-
when to work gently vs. more deeply
-
how massage can support your overall treatment plan
before your session
Before your session, we take a few minutes to understand:
-
why you’ve come (pain, tension, recovery, stress)
-
any areas that need extra attention
-
any injuries, medical conditions, or preferences (e.g. lighter or deeper pressure)
You’ll be supported in a calm, quiet environment where your comfort and safety come first.
Your session may include:
-
Deep tissue or trigger point work
Focused pressure on specific knots or tight bands of muscle.
-
Myofascial release
Gentle, sustained techniques to free up fascial restrictions.
-
Lymphatic stimulation
Very light, rhythmic work to support fluid drainage and reduce swelling or heaviness.
-
Gentle techniques to regulate the nervous system
Slow, calming touch to help your body shift out of “fight-or-flight” and into rest and repair.
-
Breathing and body awareness cues
Simple guidance to help you breathe more freely and notice how your body feels.
Massage can also be integrated with chiropractic or physiotherapy as part of a broader plan for your spine, joints, and movement.
Massage at Roots
Massage at Roots is:
-
one-to-one, focused time with a physiotherapist
-
tailored to your current condition and goals
-
suitable as a stand-alone treatment or combined with other care
People come to us for massage to help with:
-
neck, shoulder, and upper back tension (desk work, stress, “tech neck”)
-
chronic tightness in the lower back and hips
-
leg and calf fatigue (standing all day, running, sport)
-
tension headaches and stress overload
-
recovery after intense training or busy periods at work
-
simply finding an hour to switch off and reset
Because your therapist knows anatomy and rehab, massage can be targeted exactly where your body needs it most, while still feeling safe and restorative.
massage, chiropractic & physiotherapy – how they work together
A simple way to picture it:
-
Chiropractic
Focuses on spinal and joint mechanics, nerve irritation, and precise adjustments.
-
Physiotherapy
Focuses on assessment, rehab, and movement retraining for pain and injury.
-
Massage Therapy
Focuses on muscles, fascia, and soft tissues – releasing tension, supporting circulation, and calming the nervous system.
At Roots, we often combine them:
-
Massage before or after chiropractic to loosen tight muscles around stiff joints
-
Massage alongside physiotherapy to support tissue recovery during rehab
-
Massage as part of a stress and burnout recovery plan, together with movement and lifestyle changes
You don’t have to decide alone – we’ll help you choose the combination that fits your body and your schedule.
