At the core of our mission is to provide treatments that integrate wellness and stress reduction. Achieving a state of relaxation through wellness or deep tissue massage helps prolong the effects of massage therapy to carry you through the week.
Back pain doesn't have to be complicated. Often it is a result of chronic postural habits, tight muscles, lack of movement throughout the day, or improper lifting or bending. Good news is that back pain can often be resolved with deep tissue massage, wellness massage or sports massage and a simple stretching and movement protocol.
With the increased use of cell phones, computers and sitting, our posture is becoming increasingly compromised. Every inch that our head looks down or comes forward, an additional 10 lbs is added to our shoulders to maintain the position of our head. This causes muscles to become chronically tight, leading to muscle and neck stiffness. Getting regular therapeutic or deep tissue massage for example, can help restore balance in your muscles and body!
Being active means recovery becomes even more important. Many people benefit from deep tissue massage or sports massage to ensure their muscles recover quicker and reduce the risk of over-training, injury or unwanted muscles tightness. Our Kitchener clinic is where you can come to relax and recover.
Clenching or improper jaw mechanics can cause discomfort and pain around the jaw. TMJ Massage includes performing intra-oral massage which is a proven method to release chronically tight muscles of the jaw. Book at our Kitchener clinic and begin your journey to lasting relief.
Arthritis can cause significant joint pain and stiffness. Massage therapy can help maintain joint mobility and reduce pain. In combination with gentle movement programs, massage therapy can be a helpful tool to improve the quality of your daily activities.
Many people find massage therapy an excellent tool for managing chronic headaches. Working to reduce muscular tension in the shoulders, neck and head often provides a great amount of relief from headaches.
Plantar Fasciitis is often caused by improper foot mechanics, poor arch support, and chronically tight fascia and muscles of the lower leg. Soft tissue release can provide relief from the burden of foot pain.
Posture is an accumulation of our daily habits and the balance between the strength and mobility of opposing muscle groups. Regular massage along with strength training can improve posture long term.
Tendonitis causes a great deal of pain. Along with rest, massage therapy can target the muscular tightness that causes inflammation associated with this condition. Common places for tendonitis include the elbows, shoulders, knees and ankles.
Scar tissue massage can be a great tool to improve recovery after surgery. Many patients benefit from scar tissue treatments starting around 4 weeks post-operation, or when advised by your doctor. Scar tissue massage helps limit adhesions to underlying tissue, promotes healthy healing of scars, and reduces the chances of tightness of surrounding joints and muscles.
