East Toronto Orthopaedic & Sports Injury Clinic and Trilogy Physiotherapy have partnered in order to provide you with the experienced and skilled care you deserve.
Massage therapy is a treatment in which the soft tissues of the body are manipulated to release pain and tension; this includes muscles, tendons, connective tissues, joints and ligaments.
Massage therapy is a health care option clinically proven to alleviate the strains associated with daily stress, pulled muscles, occupational pains and several chronic conditions.
Registered Massage Therapists (RMTs) at our Toronto and GTA clinics use their specialized hands-on training and studies in anatomy and physiology to apply traditional and modern massage techniques to treat clients.
Comprehensive Massage Therapy for Complete Health and Wellness
While some RMTs specialize in certain areas of treatment, many treat a variety of disabilities, illnesses, and aid in rehabilitation from injuries and strains. Some patients simply desire a moment of deep relaxation, a reduction in muscle tension, or to feel relief from chronic pain. Whatever the reason for treatment, a therapeutic massage can vastly improve your health and wellness.
Benefits of Massage Therapy
Maintaining regular massage therapy appointments at our Toronto and GTA clinics can be incredibly beneficial. Increasing lymphatic drainage, improving circulation, eliminating or at least reducing bodily pains, increasing joint mobility, and lessening the effects of muscle tension are just some of the ways that massage therapy can help.
Massage therapy is used to treat both chronic and acute conditions, such as shoulder and neck tension, headaches, soft-tissue sprains, spinal pain, sports injury and pre and post-partum issues. Massage therapy is an effective remedy for psychological and emotional ailments such as anxiety and depression. Massage therapy can also be included as part of your regular routine of preventative health measures.
Things to Consider Before Massage Therapy
It is important to provide your RMT with extensive information about your health history. Examples of details they need to be aware of include bodily injuries suffered, ongoing health problems, ailments and illnesses, allergies, psychological aspects of your health and any recent developments in your overall condition.

Frequently Asked Questions About Registered Massage Therapy
How often should you book a massage therapy appointment?
Frequency of massage treatments depends on the needs of the individual client. Some clients seeking massage for general maintenance, stress relief, or computer/work posture will come every 3-5 weeks. Other clients who are working through an injury may come weekly or every other week until their injuries are resolved.
What are some massage therapy techniques?
All Registered Massage Therapists are trained in Swedish Massage Techniques which include: long strokes, kneading, friction, tapping, percussion, vibration, effleurage and shaking motions. Many of these are usually (no always) done using hands, and lotion or oil and performed directly on the clients skin.
How does massage therapy help stress?
The physiological effects that most commonly occur during a massage to help reduce stress include increased endorphins, serotonin and dopamine, decreased cortisol and increased tissue elasticity. These all help to reduce stress.

This is a great place to take your classes or exercise therapy. I was there for the GLA:D exercise programme led by Sarah Phillips. She was clear, concise and encouraging when needed. The reception staff are friendly and professional. All in all, a very good experience and convenient location too.

Trevor was great! He provided detailed information (which I asked for 😀) to understand my injury (damaged ligaments on my foot), and provided a very reasonable and doable exercise/physio regimen, which he adjusted as my recovery progressed. Staff at the clinic are also lovely! Thank you!

I had the pleasure of working with Sarah Phillips through my recovery from a torn Achilles. She kept me informed at every stage, explained what to expect, and adjusted my therapy to overcome any challenges. Thanks to her expertise, I made consistent progress and had an excellent overall recovery at the end.
Beyond her skill, Sarah’s warm and friendly personality made every session enjoyable and motivating. I highly recommend her to anyone in need of expert, compassionate physiotherapy care.

My good friend recommended me to the Dr. was very honest and very helpful in telling me what to go going forward. Gave me exercises to do at home. How to handle stairs with less pain.
Would highly recommend him if you are in pain of any kind. Very helpful and near public transit.

I booked a series of appointments to try and establish a good therapeutic schedule and after the first one the therapist insisted I come back to see her earlier than planned - which I did... booking a 45 minute follow-up that turned into a distracted 20 minutes of her note taking... they did adjust the billing to reflect a 30 minute session but it was not an auspicious start.
Then I received a garbled voicemail that seemed to cancel my third appointment - which I had booked a month in advance. It blamed the error on someone at the clinic who forgot to update the schedule... but both my follow-ups to confirm / reschedule were completely ignored.
Consider another company or at least another location...
