An integral component of your personal wellness program, massage offers therapeutic benefits according to your health history and treatment objectives to assist with rehabilitation, muscle and joint pain and relaxation. Some of our therapists' specialities include pre-natal, TMJ, deep tissue, sports, myofascial release, cranial sacral therapy and/or trigger point release. All massages are performed by Registered Massage Therapists.
Essential Oils Massage combines massage and reflexology with the use of 9 different therapeutic/medicinal grade essential oils that are applied to the feet and along the spine. The combination of these oils and the application of moist warm towels allows the oils to penetrate your body rapidly and begin their therapeutic process on a cellular level. This relaxing technique is known to increase the immune system, detoxify the body, relieve back issues and create balance and harmony in the body – physically, mentally and emotionally. This amazing treatment can be incorporated into any 60, 75 or 90 min massage for just $15 extra (only certain therapists provide this service so we need to know in advance).
Orthopaedic Massage Therapy utilizes assessments and specific treatments (eg. deep tissue, muscle energy techniques) to help alleviate pain associated with restricted range of motion due to injuries and/or stress. It helps relax and rebalance the muscles while improving strength, increasing range of motion and reducing pain.
Soothing heated basalt stones of varying sizes are placed on key points on your body to stimulate the flow of healing energies. They are then used for a full-body massage to deeply penetrate and loosen your muscles, gently easing tension and fatigue.
Experience the rejuvenating power of a Jade Stone Massage, where the ancient healing properties of jade combine with the soothing effects of hot and cold therapy. This treatment alternates between warm and cool stones to help reduce inflammation, ease muscle tension, and promote the release of toxins from the body. Jade stones, renowned for their ability to retain temperature, deliver deep relaxation while calming the mind and restoring balance. Perfect for those seeking to unwind and reset, this massage offers a harmonious blend of therapeutic benefits for your body and soul.
Our Prenatal massages are performed using a special pregnancy bolster with hollowed out areas to accommodate your growing belly and keep you comfortable. Massage during pregnancy has been proven to improve your overall mood; lower anxiety; decrease back and leg pain; improve sleep; decrease levels of the stress hormone norepinephrine; increase levels of the "feel-good" hormones serotonin and dopamine; and decrease levels of cortisol, an indicator of stress. Our Prenatal massages are performed by experienced RMTs with pregnancy massage training.
Myofascial Cupping is a safe and non-invasive technique for effective release of connective tissue or fascia, and muscle hyperirritability. Myofascial cupping is a modified version of the ancient Chinese style of cupping with the major difference being the targeting of the musculoskeletal system rather than meridian systems used by Traditional Chinese Medicine. It is effective in treating neck and back pain, repetitive strain injuries, cellulite, muscle spasms and tightness.
Craniosacral therapy (CST) is a non-invasive, hands-on therapy that aims to enhance the body’s own healing capabilities. One of the primary goals of craniosacral therapy is to release restrictions within the craniosacral system (the brain and spinal cord) to promote the movement of cerebral spinal fluid. These restrictions may arise due to physical trauma, emotional stress, or other factors, leading to symptoms such as pain, discomfort, or dysfunction.
A craniosacral therapy session is similar to massage therapy, except you stay fully clothed so it is preferable to dress in light, comfortable clothing. Using a gentle pressure no greater than 5 grams (about the weight of a nickel), the therapist will work on your head, neck, back (around the spinal column) or on areas of the body where you have symptoms.
Benefits of craniosacral therapy may include pain relief, relaxation, improved emotional well-being and stress relief. Common conditions that may benefit from CST are headaches, chronic pain, tmj, insomnia and stress related tension.
Reiki is a Japanese holistic approach to healing based on principles of energy medicine that provides complementary and alternative therapeutic intervention to conventional medicine. This non-invasive energy-based therapy functions as a support mechanism that stimulates the body’s own natural resources for healing. By encouraging the flow of chi through the meridian pathways for a state of deep relaxation, as well as to enhance mood, relieve tension, stress and optimize function of affected areas of the body. You are left with a greater sense of harmony on all physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual levels. A Reiki session at the end of a yoga practice is a profound way to unwind and refresh your energy.
