Massage Therapy can be extremely beneficial for people of all ages. A Massage Therapist may recommend specific types of Massages to compliment your Physiotherapy treatments, including:
-
Swedish Massage
A gentle, full body Massage that is ideal for people who are new to Massage, have lots of tension/minor pain or just want a relaxing Massage.
-
Hot Stone Massage
Similar to Swedish Massage, Hot Stone Massages use heated stones instead of hands. This Massage eases muscle tension, improves blood flow, relieves stress, promotes relaxation, and improves tissue function.
-
Cupping Massage
Cupping Therapy is an ancient form of alternative medicine that uses heated cups on acupuncture points on the skin to alleviate pain, improve blood flow, extract toxins from the body and helps with relaxation. After your treatment, some things to expect are bruising at the cupping site, muscle soreness, lightheadedness and dizziness.
-
Deep Tissue Massage
Deep Tissue Massage is used to break down tension points/knots and improves tissue function that would otherwise inhibit blood flow. This type of Massage is best for people with chronic muscle pain/soreness, injury, imbalance and even helps with anxiety.
-
Therapeutic Massage/Myofascial Release
This Massage targets injury and pain. It can be combined with other types of Massage to help those who have experienced injury from car accidents, sports, work related injuries or even personal injury.
-
Sports Massage
A Massage that improves flexibility, sports performance and it helps to prevent and treat sports injuries. Sports Massages focuses on a specific area of the body so each Massage is different. Your Massage Therapist will collaborate with you on what kind of goals you would like to achieve to improve injuries/pain and aid with sports performance.
-
Prenatal Massage
For women that have passed the first trimester, this Massage helps reduce body aches, pain, muscle tension or clients that just want to relax. We recommend clients that are interested in this type of Massage to consult a Doctor before booking an appointment.
-
Lymphatic Drainage Massage
This gentle Massage helps to remove waste and toxins from your skin tissues to reduce swelling caused by blockages in your Lymphatic System. This is beneficial for clients with Lymphedema or health conditions regarding your Lymphatic System. If you have any type of health conditions, please consult a Doctor before booking an appointment.
-
Range of Motion
A Registered Massage Therapist uses Range of Motion to measure the movement of a joint. A Range of Motion Assessment will help determine which muscle(s) may be limiting a client’s movement. Your Massage Therapist will conduct tests to examine the 3 types of movement to gauge the strength of the muscle surrounding the joint. This presents your therapist with your targeted problem area to help reduce pain alongside of your type of Massage.
-
Trigger Point Release
A Trigger Point is a hyper irritating site within the muscle or the fascia (a thin casing of connective tissue). A trigger point will shorten the length of the muscle causing tension or pain. In a Massage, the Massage Therapists will use compression techniques to help reduce or release a Trigger Point allowing the muscle to return to its natural length.
