Massage
What is Massage? How can it help my recovery?
A benefit of massage is improved recovery. Muscles can become damaged for a variety of reasons, most commonly by injury, surgery or over use. When muscles are damaged, the body’s natural healing process is activated aiming to repair damaged tissues and fibres. Very often, healing can be slowed down due to a range of reasons, decreasing recovery. Common reasons healing is reduced include swelling, poor circulation, muscle fatigue and a build-up of tension. When recovery is decreased, pain can increase worsening the effects of injury. Our massage therapists at Altius improve recovery through massage to help decrease pain, reduce tension and improve circulation
What injuries can acupuncture help with?
Acupuncture can be used for relief of following conditions:
– Headaches/Migraines

At Altius Healthcare, our clinician will examine each individual patient, then assess whether massage would be an effective treatment modality. All of our fully qualified clinicians provide a variety of different types of massage and have regularly updated training on safe practice.
Massage can be billed as part of a physiotherapy session and if you have had the treatment before and benefitted from it please make sure the admin team know and they will book you an appointment with the appropriate physiotherapist.
