THERAPIES:
Massage Therapy:
Registered Massage Therapists (RMTs) in British Columbia
are health care professionals committed to restoring & maintaining optimal
health & pain-free function of the body.
They are educated & trained to accurately assess & treat with techniques
that include massage & manual therapy, joint mobilization, hydrotherapy,
& rehabilitative exercise such as stretching, strengthening, postural
exercise & patient education.
Massage Therapy is an effective approach to pain management and
rehabilitation. RMTs are effective in treating & providing relief for a
wide range of conditions such as migraine headaches, tendonitis, arthritis,
osteoporosis, fibromyalgia, sports injuries, as well as many other common
conditions related to soft tissue & joint dysfunction. (from
Massage Therapists Association of British Columbia website)
Hot Stone Therapy:
Stone Therapy is a type of thermotherapy, which improves the work of
lymphatic & immune systems, normalizes body functions, & assists your
body in self-healing. It also affects the sensory system which stimulates
production of neurochemicals that bring a sense of well-being. (from
Stone Therapy School website)
Perinatal:
We offer pregnancy massage, a labour massage partner workshop,
and breastfeeding counselling.
Massage Therapy provides relief from symptoms often accompanying pregnancy
due to increased body fluid volume, laxity of ligaments, & the shift in
centre of gravity. Massage therapy is also a wonderfully relaxing
experience, welcomed by expectant mothers who are stressed, fatigued and
feeling the emotional effects of hormonal changes.
Workshops: Infant Massage and Stretch & Relax
are offered upon request.
