Defeat Shin Splints and Reclaim Your Stride with Expert Shin Splints Massage Therapy in Downtown Toronto

As an RMT, I will continue to offer high-quality therapeutic massage therapy treatments. In addition, with my additional education and training in functional neurology, I can offer patients an integrative approach that often has many longer-lasting benefits. Using a functional neurology-based therapy like P-DTR, we identify the movements that cause your symptoms, perform a specific treatment, retest the same movement after treatment, then provide you with the appropriate exercises for “homework” to solidify our results. Rest assured, I am also Certified and Licensed by the College of Massage Therapists of Ontario.

 I often hear from my patients that they have tried nearly everything to resolve their issues or meet their fitness goals. Since every case is unique, this is why I have an initial assessment appointment for first timer visitors. It allows me to understand the problem better, ask the proper questions, and recommend the best treatment for your needs.

Massage therapy for shin splints focuses on reducing muscle tension, promoting circulation, and releasing adhesions in the affected area. It can help alleviate pain, accelerate healing, and restore optimal muscle function, allowing you to recover faster and return to your activities pain-free.

While some pressure and discomfort may be experienced during deep tissue massage techniques, it should not be unbearable. Our skilled therapists prioritize your comfort and will communicate with you throughout the session to ensure the pressure is appropriate and within your tolerance level.

In cases of acute injury or inflammation, it’s essential to consult with a healthcare professional before seeking massage therapy. Depending on the severity and stage of the injury, the therapist may need to modify the treatment approach or wait until the acute phase has subsided. Your therapist will assess your condition and provide guidance accordingly.

Depending on the severity of your shin splints, your therapist may recommend modifying or temporarily adjusting your exercise routine to avoid exacerbating the condition. It’s important to communicate with your therapist and follow their guidance to ensure proper healing and recovery. They will work with you to develop a plan that allows for a gradual return to your regular activities.

Absolutely. In fact, integrating shin splints massage with other complementary treatments or therapies can often yield even more comprehensive results. Your RMT can collaborate with other sports medicine professionals, such as physiotherapists or chiropractors, to create a holistic treatment plan tailored to your needs. This approach may include exercises, stretching routines, and additional modalities to support your recovery and optimize outcomes.

The timeline for seeing results can vary depending on the individual and the severity of the shin splints. Some individuals may experience significant improvement after a few sessions, while others may require more time. Consistency and adherence to the recommended treatment plan, including any self-care measures provided by your therapist, are key factors in achieving optimal results. Your therapist will closely monitor your progress and make adjustments as needed to ensure you are on track towards recovery.
