About Our Massage Therapy

Massage therapy involves the assessment and treatment of soft tissues in the body including muscles, tendons, connective tissue, fascia and ligaments. Massage therapy helps to alleviate the pain or discomfort associated with everyday physical stress, injuries, muscular overuse and several chronic conditions. Massage therapy can also be a great recovery tool and reduce the risk for injuries and future flare- ups. Registered massage therapists are primary health care providers in Ontario.

At your initial massage therapy appointment, your massage therapist will perform a detailed health history and physical examination. You can then discuss the areas you would like your treatment to focus on and the style that best fits your needs.
Types of Massage Techniques
Massage therapy can address different needs through a variety of techniques. Some of these include:
- Swedish massage– releases muscle tension, improves blood flow and lymphatic circulation

What is massage therapy?

Massage therapy is a form of manual therapy which uses touch to manipulate the soft tissues of the body. Massage therapists use various techniques, including kneading, stroking, tapping and friction, to target specific areas of the body that are in need of relief from pain or tension. The goal of massage therapy is to promote healing, reduce stress and discomfort, restore flexibility and range of motion, improve circulation and enhance overall wellbeing.
Do I need a referral from my doctor for massage therapy?

No referral from your doctor is needed for massage therapy treatment; however it is important to inform your massage therapist of any medical conditions or medications you are taking.
How often should I receive massage therapy treatments?

Depending on your particular needs, recommendations may vary. Generally speaking, it is best to have regular treatments in order to maximize the health benefits provided through massage therapy. Your massage therapist can work with you to develop a treatment plan that works best for you and your lifestyle.
What should I expect during my massage session?

Prior to your treatment, you will discuss your health history and goals with your therapist so they can tailor the session to best meet your needs. During the treatment, you will generally be asked to undress (or remain clothed) and get comfortable under the sheets on the massage table.

Your therapist will use their hands, elbows or forearms to apply pressure as they work through various techniques designed to reduce tension and promote relaxation. During the session, it is important for you to communicate any areas of discomfort or sensitivity so that adjustments can be made accordingly.
What should I wear during my massage session?

Generally speaking, it is best to wear comfortable clothing such as shorts and a t-shirt or tank top. Your massage therapist will provide sheets and blankets which can be used to cover up any areas of the body being worked on. However, some techniques may require more direct contact with the skin in order to be effective; in this case, it is best to remove any clothing covering the area being worked on.
