Ibuprofen Isn’t the Fix: Why Tradespeople in St. Albert Need Massage Therapy

Описание: Healing Point Massage Therapy is a results-driven wellness clinic helping hardworking people keep their bodies strong, mobile, and pain-free. The clinic is owned and operated by Lianna Bergonia, who works closely with tradespeople, contractors, and labour-intensive professionals.

Lianna and her team see firsthand how physically demanding trades work is—and how often people wait until they’re already in pain before seeking help. Healing Point focuses on proactive care that keeps muscles healthy, reduces injury risk, and helps clients stay productive and working longer in their careers.

Massage Therapy for Tradespeople

In this video, Alana and Lianna talk honestly about why tradespeople need massage therapy—and why waiting until you’re hurting is already too late.

Trades work is tough on the body. Lifting, crouching, climbing, carrying, and overhead work create constant strain that builds up over time. Many tradespeople only book massage when pain becomes unbearable, but massage therapy is just as important before things break down.

Massage therapy helps tradespeople:
Reduce pain and stiffness
Improve flexibility and range of motion
Speed up recovery from injuries
Keep muscles loose, balanced, and usable day after day

Common Issues Seen in the Trades

At the clinic, the most common problems tradespeople come in with include:
Neck and shoulder pain
Lower back tightness
Tendonitis and inflammation
Pulled or chronically tight muscles

Repetitive work leads to muscle imbalances—some muscles become overworked while others weaken. This causes joint compression, reduced mobility, poor posture, and a higher risk of long-term injury if not addressed.

Why Massage Therapy Works
Massage therapy is effective because it:
Breaks down chronically tight muscles
Restores circulation and reduces inflammation
Resets overworked muscles so they’re ready for the next workday
Improves flexibility, which is key to injury prevention
Balances muscle groups to reduce strain and fatigue

After a few treatments, many tradespeople notice:
Easier movement and better posture
Less pain and stiffness
Improved endurance at work
Feeling stronger, not worn down

A common comment heard at the clinic is, “I don’t feel old anymore.”

Massage vs. Painkillers
Relying on ibuprofen or other painkillers only hides the problem. It acts like a band-aid, allowing you to keep working on injured or restricted muscles—often making things worse over time.

Regular massage therapy helps:
Maintain range of motion
Reduce fatigue and inflammation
Protect long-term career longevity
Keep your body functioning properly instead of breaking down

Treatment Recommendations for Tradespeople

Lianna encourages anyone in the trades who’s never had a massage to start with just one session and feel the difference.

A common approach includes:
Weekly treatments for 3–4 sessions
Maintenance every 2–3 weeks
Eventually transitioning to monthly care

Healing Point Massage Therapy also offers manual osteopathy, which works on the body’s structure—restoring alignment, improving joint mechanics, and addressing deeper restrictions throughout the entire body. Massage and osteopathy work best together.
