Deep Tissue Massage reaches deeper layers of muscles. It is used to relieve pressure points throughout the body. This massage is beneficial for anyone, from athletes to those who sit for long periods of time.

Orthopedic massage is a type of injury rehabilitation that focuses on the muscles and soft tissues surrounding joints. The aim of this method is to relieve pain while restoring balance to the tissues and rehabilitating to full function.

 Cupping is used to alleviate scar tissue, fascial and myofascial restrictions, as well as muscle pain. It regulates and improves function of the autonomic nervous system. Systemically, cupping improves blood flow and relieves lymphatic stagnation. 

 Pelvic health massage is targeted at the pelvic floor muscles, ligaments and connective tissues, all of which work together to support the pelvic organs. As massage therapists cannot access internal muscles, we focus on all muscles surrounding and inserting to the pelvic bones. This can be in conjunction with Pelvic Health Physiotherapy or as a stand alone treatment. Some of the conditions associated with Pelvic Health include:

Pregnancy (During and Post) 

Low back pain 

Sciatica 

Athletic leg pain 

Pain with urination and/or defecation

The use of sound waves to penetrate and target specific tissues for the treatment of soft tissue injury, joint dysfunction, and pain. Ultrasound can positively effect bone repair, decreasing pain, muscle spasm and adhesions, and increase tissue healing and range of motion.

Manual Lymphatic Drainage (MLD) is a technique which is designed to increase the movement and drainage of lymphatic and interstitial fluid. Some of the conditions that MLD could benefit include: 

Concussion 

Cancer Rehabilitation 

Migraines/Headaches 

Whiplash 

Lymphedema 

Pregnancy 

Acute Injuries 

*This technique is not suited for persons with kidney conditions.

Interferential Current Therapy is used to promote tissue healing, relieve pain and muscle spasm, decrease swelling, improve circulation and nerve stimulation. 

The goal of Swedish Massage is to melt away muscle tension and increase the blood flow to your heart.

Transcutaneous Electrical Nerve Stimulation uses electrical pulses to interrupt the pain signals to the brain to relieve pain in muscles and joints.
