Massage therapy can help the recovery of injured and overused muscles and tissues in the body. In addition, Massage Therapy can complement other forms of therapy including chiropractic care, physiotherapy and acupuncture by quickening the recovery process and preventing future re-injury.
Benefits:Relaxation Massage
We use a variety of hands-on techniques to manipulate soft tissues in your body (muscles, joints, tendons, ligaments, and connective tissues) to provide therapeutic relief, decrease your pain and optimize your health with a lighter touch.
Deep tissue Massage
A deep tissue massage targets deep muscles and tendons, as well as fascia, the protective and connective tissues. The intention is to relax the superficial muscles and once the tension is released, it allows the deeper muscles to be massaged or manipulated. A deep tissue massage works to break down adhesions within the deep tissue, restore blood flow and realign your body’s structure and joints.
Hot Stone Massage
Hot Stone Massage is a form of massage therapy with the addition of heated stones, which helps lead to deep relaxation. Adding heat to specific areas on the body enhances the feeling of relaxation. The penetrative effect of the heated stones allows massage treatment to be delivered without excessive force.
We use IATSM (Instrument Assisted Soft Tissue Mobilization) which allows precision us to specifically target problem areas. IASTM is effective when treating dysfunctions of the superficial fascia, scar tissue and fibrosis, which then allows a deep tissue massage to be more effective.
We also use Cupping Therapy which is completely safe and works by using suction, drawing body tissues towards the surface of the skin. This mechanism can help increase local circulation, improve lymphatic flow, and relax muscles and trigger points.
