What is Massage Therapy?

Massage Therapy is used as preventative care of your body. This includes sports training, injury prevention, ongoing stress management, and more. Together, you and your therapist will develop a treatment plan based on your needs.

Massage therapy is often used synergistically with Chiropractic or Physiotherapy to help improve digestion, circulation, breathing, immune system function, and overall well-being.

Massage therapy reduces pain and discomfort in soft tissues at an accelerated rate.

 

What is Cupping Therapy?

Cupping Therapy stimulates blood flow and nutrition to stagnant areas to help restore damaged tissues. When you undergo a cupping treatment you will experience pressure under the cup which helps to break up fluids and built-up scar tissue, bringing them to your skin’s surface to be eliminated by your circulatory or lymphatic systems.

For muscle pain and tension, the suction of cupping increases circulation and triggers a localized response of the immune system. It also decompresses tight fascia, which is the sheath that wraps around various muscle groups. Essentially, the effect of the suction leads to a “release” of the tense muscles.

What is Hot Stone Therapy?

Hot stone massage refers to the use of smooth and heated stones to provide you with muscle relaxation and warmth.

Therapists use the hot stones on their clients in addition to using their other hands on techniques.

What is the difference between massage therapy and hot stone massage? Hot stone massage and massage therapy are very similar. The main difference  between the two is that during a hot stone massage the therapist will use the hot stones as a tool to aid them  during the treatment in addition to using the other hands on techniques that they have in their arsenal.

  • LOWER-BACK PAIN

    Lower back pain could be sciatic, characterized as a stabbing pain or weakness originating in your lower back and shooting down your leg.  It could be Piriformis Syndrome which is usually local pain in your buttock region; usually the muscles there are very tight and tender. Mechanical Low Back Pain is described as pain originating from the small joints in your spine; there is often inflammation involved.  Let our team find out what is the root cause of your issue.

The therapist will occasionally check in with the client during the treatment to see if the stones are too warm or not warm enough for the client.
    Using the hot stones will cause the client to perspire a slight amount during the treatment thereby becoming slightly dehydrated so it is always recommended that the client rehydrate their body with water after the treatment.
