The Benefits of Manual Therapy and Exercise for Mental Health

At Surge Wellness and Kheprer Counselling, we understand that mental health is as important as physical well-being. When you're managing anxiety, stress, or trauma, your body feels it too—whether it’s through back pain, tension, or chronic discomfort. That’s why we combine the benefits of manual therapy and exercise to support our patients in Surrey, BC, on their journey to complete wellness.

Manual therapy, including massage therapy and physiotherapy, focuses on the musculoskeletal system, providing relief from physical ailments that may exacerbate mental health conditions. For those dealing with back pain or muscle tension, these therapies can reduce discomfort, allowing for greater mobility and relaxation. The physical relief helps diminish stress, enabling patients to engage more fully in mental health practices such as mindfulness or therapy.

Exercise is another powerful tool that contributes to both physical and mental health. Regular physical activity promotes the release of endorphins, the body’s natural mood boosters, which can help manage anxiety, depression, and trauma. Whether it’s strengthening exercises or light stretches, movement enhances circulation, reduces muscle tension, and creates a sense of well-being.

At Surge Wellness, our Registered Massage Therapists (RMT) and physiotherapists provide individualized treatments, while Kheprer Counselling offers a safe space to explore your mental health concerns. Together, we ensure a holistic approach to your healing process, addressing both the mind and body in a supportive environment.

If you're in Surrey, BC, and looking for a comprehensive approach to managing back pain, stress, trauma, anxiety, or other wellness concerns, consider a visit to our clinic. Combining manual therapy, exercise, and counselling is a powerful way to improve both your mental and physical health.
