Registered Massage Therapy

Massage therapy is the manipulation of the soft tissues of the body, including muscles, tendons, ligaments, connective tissue, and skin. Treatments aim to alleviate pain and improve physical function by enhancing the circulation of blood and lymphatic fluids. A variety of techniques may be utilized depending on individual needs, including trigger point therapy, fascial work, deep tissue therapy, muscle stripping, joint play, stretching, and muscle energy techniques. The ultimate goal is to eliminate pain, restore mobility, improve posture, relieve mental and physical stress, and assist you with ways to maintain good health. Often pain and dysfunction occur as a result of muscle imbalance. We help to identify and treat the cause of the problem in order to prevent its recurrence.

Pregnancy Massage

Although pregnancy can be a wonderful time, it can also be a physically uncomfortable time. Massage therapy during pregnancy has been shown to decrease pain, stress hormones, anxiety, and obstetrical complications.  Your therapist works with you to provide an effective, safe, and comfortable treatment that will enhance your pregnancy and birth experience.

Bowen

Bowen Therapy or “Bowenwork” is a gentle, non-invasive, hands-on therapy developed by Tom Bowen in Australia. It is often referred to as the “homeopathy of bodywork” for its ability to draw on the body’s natural desire to heal itself and return to a state of wellness. Using small, measured inputs or “moves”, this technique is done on specific areas of the body (over muscle, tendon, ligament and nerve), in specific sequences, delivering signals to the nervous system that relay information about areas of tension, pain and injury. The body is then allowed to respond in its own time, to begin healing itself, often profoundly. There are very few contraindications but this therapy is appropriate for all ages.

Indie Head Massage

Indie Head Massage includes massage to the neck, shoulders, arms and head. The techniques used, which originated over 1000 years ago in East Indie culture, are both soothing and invigorating at the same time. In addition to the many physical and psychological benefits of any massage treatment including improved lymphatic circulation, muscle tone, and range of motion, this specialized treatment has some very specific benefits as well. Due to increased blood supply and oxygen to the scalp, Indie Head Massage can help promote hair and scalp health. Fatigue, eye strain and headaches can also be diminished and some even report clearer thinking, alertness and concentration.

A modality very effective on caesarean scars, tendinitis and aids in concussion recovery.

Hot Stone

Hot Stone massage therapy is a type of massage therapy that uses water-heated stones to help relax tense muscles.  The smooth, water-heated, stones are placed on the body on key points with or without pressure for relaxation and pain relief. Hot stone massage therapy offers relief from chronic pain as well as helps relieve tension, muscle stiffness and increase circulation.

Cupping

A therapeutic cupping treatment involves placing warm cups to an area of skin to form a vacuum seal.  This vacuum seal promotes blood flow to the area which enhances circulation, decompresses the muscles and connective tissues thereby increasing the body’s own healing process.  (Offered by Lisa Cardinali, Dr. Lucas Rizzo and Heather Thomson)
