Body Aches, Muscle Spasms or Chronic Pain? Where to Start | South Edmonton
When your whole body feels tight or pain keeps coming back, it can be hard to know where to begin. Here is our guidance on choosing the right first appointment.
My whole body aches and my muscles feel tight. What massage should I book?
General muscle aches from stress, poor sleep or a busy week often respond well to a full-body therapeutic massage. If you also have a fever, chills or feel unwell, rest at home instead, as massage isn't recommended when you're sick.
Book: Therapeutic Massage 60 mins ($115)
I've had pain for months that keeps coming back. Where should I start?
Long-lasting pain often has several contributing factors, such as posture, old injuries, stress and sleep. A Manual Osteopathic initial assessment looks at the whole body, and a longer acupuncture session gives more time for multiple areas. Make sure your doctor is aware of ongoing pain.

What helps muscle spasms or cramps?
Muscle spasms are often linked to overuse, dehydration, stress or holding one position too long. A therapeutic massage may help relax the muscle and improve comfort. See a doctor if spasms are frequent, severe, or come with weakness or numbness.

Can massage help with fibromyalgia?
Some people with fibromyalgia find that gentle, lighter-pressure massage or acupuncture helps them relax and feel more comfortable. Let your therapist know about your sensitivity so pressure can be adjusted, and keep working with your doctor on your overall plan.
