Deep Tissue Massage

Deep tissue massage is a type of massage that uses firm pressure and slow strokes to reach deeper layers of muscle and fascia. Its benefits include pain relief, increased flexibility, and improved range of motion. Athletes can benefit from deep tissue massage as it can help them recover from injuries by reducing inflammation and improving blood flow to the affected areas.

This collaborative approach to concussion rehabilitation can improve outcomes for patients and help them return to their normal activities more quickly.

Fascial Stretch Therapy

Fascial Stretch Therapy (FST) is a type of assisted stretching that targets the connective tissue surrounding the muscles, called fascia. FST involves the therapist guiding the patient through a series of stretches while applying gentle traction to the limbs and torso. This can improve range of motion, flexibility, and mobility, and can also help reduce pain and tension in the body by releasing tightness in the fascia. Call us to learn more about getting fascial stretch therapy in downtown Toronto.

The heat from the stones helps to relax muscles, increase circulation, and reduce stress and anxiety. Hot stone massage can also be used to alleviate symptoms of chronic pain, such as arthritis or fibromyalgia.

Relaxation Massage

Relaxation massage is a type of massage that aims to help the body and mind relax and reduce stress. The therapist uses techniques such as long strokes, gentle kneading, and soft circular movements to promote a sense of relaxation and well-being.

What to expect from your physiotherapy appointment

Physiotherapy Assessment and Treatment

LiveActive Sport Medicine physiotherapists complete thorough assessments, arrive at a clinical diagnosis, and design individualized therapeutic exercises to optimize strength, range of motion, and function aligned with their patients’ goals. LiveActive offers personalized physical therapy programs for each patient in a one-on-one capacity. This allows our team to focus solely on improving the overall health and wellness of our patients by providing optimal care for maximum benefit. At your initial visit, your physiotherapist will assess your current condition and help establish an individualized treatment plan that may include manual therapy, acupuncture, exercises and stretches, or include other approaches for care. Your first appointment is used to establish the foundation for recovery and will always include preliminary treatment during that appointment.

Acupuncture for Pain Relief

Acupuncture uses targeted puncturing to ease tension to help decrease pain and increase quality of life. Some therapists will use a technique call neuro-functional acupuncture to stimulate the nervous system to help with healing. Other techniques, like dry needling, are beneficial when treating some conditions like tennis elbow. Needling can be a powerful approach for easing chronic and persistent pain that results from muscle tension. Your physiotherapist will discuss how acupuncture is safe and effective and will commonly be used in combination with exercise rehabilitation.

Shockwave Therapy

LiveActive Physios are trained to use Shockwave Therapy. This treatment is often used to treat specific conditions, including plantar fasciitis, tennis elbow, shoulder tendinopathies, and other tendon related injuries. Most conditions being treated with Shockwave require a plan of care that includes weekly treatment for 3-5 visits.

If you have extended health insurance, please inform our administration team, who can help coordinate your benefits and limit any out-of-pocket expenses.
