Registered Massage Therapy is the manipulation of the body's soft tissues, including muscles, connective tissues, tendons, ligaments, and joints.
Prenatal/Postnatal Massage Therapy
Little secret here, I enjoy working with prenatal and postnatal clients. They are my favourite! They are just so ready to let go. I encourage massage therapy throughout the pregnancy as it helps to keep things mobile and connected to their body as it goes through various changes during and after pregnancy. This treatment is offered in 2 ways, a side lying position with a body pillow to hug and keep you in a comfortable position. The second and I think most favourite of all is using the pregnancy pillow where you can go face down and will not block airways to the baby.
Hot Stone Therapy With Jade Stones
What is Hot Stone Therapy?? I often get asked if I just place the stones on the body and leave the room. Not at all.
The Utilization of heated stones in addition to hands-on Therapy to affect the superficial layers of muscle, temporarily increasing local blood flow and having a soothing effect on hypertonic tissues. Jade stones are believed to heal stressed organs, discharge toxins, slows the process of aging and strengthens the boy’s natural defenses and healing power. The soothing colour of Jade is connected to the heart chakra.
Cupping Therapy
Cupping therapy is really great either in combination with massage therapy or on its own. Cupping therapy in addition to your massage, allows your therapist to treat soft tissue, increase circulation and reduce inflammation without applying deep pressure.
What will it feel like? It is like comparing it to a slight vacuum/ suction to the skin. The marks left are NOT considered bruises. The marks are caused by superficial capillaries collecting blood from the pressure caused by the cups.
