Swedish Massage Therapy
Massage Therapy (also known as Swedish Massage Therapy in Ontario) incorporates a variety of techniques to allow the body to relax and realign. Some of the techniques include the use of forearms, palms, knuckles, and fingertips to unwind soft tissue adhesions ("knots") or percussive techniques for drainage of sinuses/relaxation of tissues.
Hot Stone Massage Therapy
Enhance your massage with hot stones that create tiny, comforting heat sources, placed on various points of the body. The comforting heat radiating from the smooth, polished stones allows muscles to relax and soften during treatment. Your massage therapist may also use the stones to massage tissues, incorporating oils to allow the stones to glide more easily.

Tools and techniques that our therapists can incorporate to enhance your massage (at no cost):
Cupping Therapy
Hydrotherapy
Athletic Taping
At-home stretching exercises
Cupping Therapy
Our modified version of the ancient Chinese practice of cupping uses silicone and plastic cups during treatment (no flames or alcohol). However, the benefits remain the same. The cups create suction to draw fluid and fascia into the area, breaking up congestion, releasing stagnation, and increasing overall tissue mobility.
Hydrotherapy
Hydrotherapy is the therapeutic use of water using differing temperatures and additives for healing. In massage, hot or cold compresses would be incorporated. Heat is used to relax sore/tight muscles, where cold would help to decrease swelling and pain. Our RMTs use and recommend hydrotherapy for a variety of conditions including headaches and digestive issues.
Athletic Taping
We use elastic tape for athletic taping to support treatments. It can remain on the skin for up to 5 days to assist post-treatment effects. Athletic taping is used for a variety of considerations, including encouraging bruise recovery and posture awareness.
At-home stretching exercises
If our massage therapists believe that a particular stretching exercise can benefit you in your recovery or development, they will take 5-10 minutes to demonstrate how to properly do the stretch. This will not extend past the duration of your appointment.
