Massage therapy is the direct hands-on manipulation of muscles, joints and soft tissues. The massage therapist applies specific techniques on the affected area to release tension, reduce pain and restore its optimal flexibility. Physiotherapy First is one of the clinics in Brampton providing massage therapy in diverse styles like Deep Tissue Therapy, Swedish Therapy and Musculoskeletal Massage Therapy. We adopt a client-centric approach to ensure that you get the desired outcome at the end of the sessions, whether you want to relax or recover from injuries.
Replace Aches and Pains with Comfort and Flexibility.
What is Massage Therapy?
Massage therapy involves using manipulative techniques of pressing, kneading, and stroking the soft tissues and muscles on various areas of the body. It is one of the oldest forms of homeopathic treatments to help alleviate pain, discomfort, swelling, soreness, and tension.
this therapy also helps improve muscle tone, stimulates blood circulation, and supports the lymphatic system for improved functioning throughout the body. While this therapy primarily targets the muscles and soft tissues just below the skin, an alternative form of massage therapy is deep tissue massage that targets the deeper layers of muscles and tissues.
How are Massage Therapy Treatments Performed?
Massage therapy treatments are performed with the patient typically lying down on their back or stomach, depending on the area being treated. Prior to treatment heat may be applied to the area to help loosen up tight, tense muscles and connective tissues.
The massage therapist applies the most appropriate methods based on the need of the patient, the reason for therapy, and overall objectives.
Can Massage Therapy be used with other types of Treatments?
This can be used with other types of treatments including physiotherapy and chiropractic care. When part of a complete treatment plan for injuries and related medical conditions, massage therapy can help promote faster healing and recovery.
How Often Should I Get Massage Therapy?
The frequency of massage therapy treatments will vary from one person to the next. It will depend on your underlying reasons for receiving therapy. For instance, if your objective is to alleviate tension and stress, weekly treatments can be highly therapeutic. On the other hand, if you are recovering from a muscle sprain or strain, massage treatments two or three times a week might be more appropriate.
Is Massage Therapy Painful?
While there can be minor discomfort at the start of therapy, most people report a sense of relaxation and calmness by the end of their treatment. Some people even become so relaxed they fall asleep during their therapy sessions.
What Are Some Benefits?
Some of the benefits you could gain from massage therapy could include:
A sense of relaxation.
Reduced stress and anxiety levels.
A general calmness and feeling well-rested.
Deeper restful sleep cycles.
Improved circulation throughout the body.
A reduction in tension, pain, and stiffness.
Improved breathing.
Renewed energy.
An overall improvement to your health and well-being physically, mentally, and spiritually.
How Long Does It Take Before I Notice Any Results?
Most patients report short-term relief after a single therapy treatment. However, continued treatments provide a cumulative effect to bring optimal results. Regular treatments can help strengthen and tone the body, reduce tension, improve blood flow, and reduce unnecessary strains on muscles and connective tissues. Furthermore, ongoing massage therapy can be beneficial to reduce fatigue, increase energy levels, and provide more restful sleep.
What If I Have Other Underlying Conditions?
Massage therapy can help treat other underlying conditions, such as stimulating or calming the nervous system, helping repair damaged muscles and connective tissues, and alleviating pain and discomfort associated with chronic conditions like arthritis.

I recently injured my elbow at the gym and was in a lot of pain. The clinic I usually go to was closed and my backup clinic was fully booked. I called Physiotherapy First which was close to work for me and they were able to see my right away. That was a good start and things got better from there.In less than 2 weeks of treatment I was pain free and could resume normal gym activity. I have NEVER had similar results with any other physiotherapist or chiropractor! In most cases it was months before I was able to resume normal activity.Why? First, they have an exceptional team starting with Reception who made sure there was little wait time for me upon my arrival, to the Physiotherapist (Harween Kaur) who diagnosed my situation and prescribed a course of action, and the Physiotherapist Assistants who professionally and caringly attended to my healing. Second, there was a variety of techniques and treatments that were used in my recovery (manual manipulation, ultrasound, electrical wave therapy, hot and cold therapies, paraffin wax soak, strengthening exercises). Most other physiotherapists seem to have only one or two of these (eg. massage gun). Finally, you get value for your money. My follow up appointments with other physiotherapists lasted a maximum of 20 minutes. But at this clinic most follow up appointments were close to any hour. They seemed sincerely interested in helping me recover and less so in how quickly they could turnover patients.Needless to say, I have a new “go to” clinic for my rehabilitation needs – Physiotherapy First. Thanks so much Harween and Team!

This clinic is a true gem! I am so glad that my friend referred me to this clinic after she personally had excellent response to the treatment provided here. I initially went with chronic ankle pain and swelling. To my surprise, it went away just in 2 visits!! I was expecting it would go for at least for few months. Gagan and her team (I think Harleen? ) were really amazing! I can't thank them enough!! I have been to other physiotherapy clinics before, and I silently noticed the difference how they work. I am myself a health care professional and I am amazed how they blend hands-on approach to release scars/tightness with traditional physio techniques. They spend extra time to identify the root cause of pain to ensure they are working on right tissues. Later I also went for rt knee pain, and felt lot of relief. They also focus on preventative medicine and will give tips how to prevent recurrence! Sometimes they run bit late (and everyone needs are different); but when they focus on you, they will never rush you. They are well organized with good staffing-both at front and physiotherapy assistants. If someone is on fence, I would say give a try-You will never regret it!
