Signature Blended Massage

Blend of deep tissue + relaxation massage

Massage therapy is a rejuvenating and effective treatment for balancing the body’s flow of energy, resulting in emotional, mental and physical harmony. Enjoy a blend of therapeutic massage to promote deep healing fused with relaxation techniques for a calming effect on the mind, body and soul.

Cupping Therapy

CUPPING MASSAGE

Boost your body’s flow of qi with a specialized cupping treatment. This type of therapy involves heated round glass or silicone cups that create a vacuum or suction when placed on your skin. They are strategically placed and then slid along the muscles being treated. This technique helps the blood and qi to flow more easily to stagnated areas of the body to promote healing and reduce inflammation.

Restorative Massage

Therapeutic, deep tissue massage

Recover from stress and tension with the Restorative Massage. This massage treatment consists of strong, energizing strokes to release even the tightest knots in overworked bodies. Deep layers of muscle and fascia are restored resulting in pain reduction and improved mobility and range of motion.

Tranquility Massage

The gentle pressure, meditative music, and soothing atmosphere allows the body, mind, and nervous system to experience a deep state of rest, similar to meditation. This unique body treatment induces a relaxed and blissful state of consciousness allowing you to unwind, rebalance and recharge. Experience a state of tranquility and inner-peace.

Volcanic Stone Massage

HOT STONE MASSAGE

Ease tension and troubles, and soothe your mind and body with the Volcanic Stone Massage. Using heated volcanic stones and gentle oils, this treatment helps to release muscle tension and improve circulation more quickly than traditional massages. This is also an effective treatment for those who experience anxiety and trauma-related disorders, where the sympathetic (fight or flight) nervous system is overstimulated. This massage calms the mind and body as the parasympathetic nervous system (relaxation response) is activated.

Performance Massage

Other benefits include enhanced mobility, flexibility and athletic performance. Experience renewed vitality and excel in your sport.

Treatment involves soft tissue work with the jaw and neck muscles which cause headaches, sinus problems, sore jaw muscles, and teeth grinding. Intra-oral massage (inside the mouth) may also be completed with a gloved hand. Notice a difference within 1 session.

how does massage therapy improve mental health?

therapy edmonton

There is plenty of research on the positive effects of massage therapy on one’s mental and physical health. The soothing techniques of massage therapy calm the nervous system to allow the mind and body to truly rest and recharge. This allows your emotional brain to switch off, easing anxiety and worry and allowing your mind to drift into a state of deep relaxation.

Massage therapy has recently been shown to increase and help regulate the availability of neuro-hormones that affect brain chemistry and the body’s psychological and physiological responses. Stress hormones (cortisol) are reduced while calming, feel-good hormones (oxytocin) are released, resulting in a greater sense of well-being.

Psychological research has demonstrated that people who suffer from Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) and anxiety disorders have higher levels of cortisol as they live in a chronic state of stress. Due to the positive effects on the endocrine system, regular massage therapy is an effective treatment to help reduce stress levels and improve overall functioning.

how does massage therapy improve physical health?

therapy edmonton

Massage therapy has a multitude of benefits on physical health and pain relief. It has been associated with increased circulation, reduced inflammation, improved hormonal balance, and overall stronger immune system. There have even been studies associating massage therapy with lowering one’s heart rate and blood pressure, as well as increasing energy levels and alertness.

If you are feeling stressed, you likely have a build up of tension in your upper body, as this is where stress is stored. Massage therapy eases stubborn knots and tight muscles, allowing you to breathe and move more freely. You may notice that your flexibility and range of motion have also improved. Our specialized massage treatments are tailored to your personal wellness goals so that you can feel your best.
