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.

Where is your pain?

  • MID-BACK PAIN

    Mid Back pain could be Discogenic, which ranges from dull and achy to sharp with numbness or tingling into the legs or feet. There may be tight muscles involved and all movements cause more pain.  Whether your pain is from an accident, posture, a medical or skeletal condition – we can help.

    Talk to one of our back pain experts.

  • NECK PAIN

    Neck pain is a common complaint. Neck muscles can be strained from poor posture — whether it’s leaning over your computer or hunching over your workbench. Osteoarthritis also is a common cause of neck pain.

    Neck pain can also be a symptom of a more serious problem.  Our practitioners can help evaluate and treat your specific need.

    Shoulder pain can start with an injury, or even more commonly it begins gradually over a period of weeks to months or even years. It is often seen in patients who perform repetitive or overhead activities and becomes more common with aging. In some cases, shoulder pain can start for what seems like no reason at all.

    We can make you feel better!

  • 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.

  • How does Parafin Wax work with massage therapy?

    Wax is heated to around 50-55 degrees Celsius, the therapist then applies the wax to the area to be treated. A layer of cling film is then laid over top along with an electric heating pad. It is left to sit for around 15-20 minutes while the therapist moves on to treat another area of the body with massage. When the time is up, the wax is then peeled up/off and discarded. If there is another area that the client would like treated with paraffin wax, then the treatment will be repeated as time permits.

     

    When the wax is applied to the indicated area it encapsulates the area in heat due to the wax’s ability to absorb and retain heat and along with the heating pad allows for heat to penetrate down into the layers of tissue.
