Massage Therapy

Get the treatment YOU need. Our experienced Registered Massage Therapists work with you to assess and treat you specifically.

What to Expect: You will be given a new patient intake form which will help our massage therapist come up with your treatment plan. Reception will greet you on arrival and show you to your treatment room. You may choose to disrobe completely, partially or not at all. Your comfort is the most important goal so that you can fully relax. The massage therapist will typically start treatment with you lying on your stomach. Use the sheets and/or blankets provided to cover yourself. Typically, the Massage Therapist uses massage oils. If you have any allergies, please be sure to share this information.

Make sure you drink plenty of water after treatment. It will help to release toxins in your body. An Epsom salt bath is great following a treatment, if you are able to do that before the end of the day.

Osteopathy

The osteopathic philosophy of Body, Motion and Mind was developed in 1874 by Dr. Andrew Taylor Still. The Body represents the physical body, the Motion meaning spiritual being and the Mind which organizes the other two using the five senses of seeing, hearing, tasting, smell and touch. He established the profession in 1892 in Kirksville, Missouri when he opened up the first osteopathic medicine school. Dr. Still pioneered the concept of wellness by treating each patient as a whole and not just their illnesses or complaints. He believed in fresh air, windows in every patient’s room and exercise by walking around the hospital grounds. The word Osteopathy means bone and suffering, when translated, is a system of healing through scientific knowledge and intelligence of the human body.

 The science of Osteopathy is a comprehensive and complete system in its own right. The philosophy, principles, treatment of osteopathy are based upon structure (anatomy) and function (physiology) using manual techniques to adjust the person physiologically. Osteopathic manual practitioners can use any number of techniques like craniosacral, visceral, myofascial, ligamentous and lymphatic in providing individualized treatments. The treatment process can involve work directly on the area of complaint(s) or a distance from the area through indirect influence like musculoskeletal movement or circulatory motion.

Osteopathy is about adjusting and stabilizing a person’s body’s systems to be integrated into its natural healing abilities.

What to Expect: Your Osteopathic Manual Practitioner will review your NEW patient intake form and will assess your situation before treatment. Typically, this is done within the initial appointment. With this treatment, the patient is fully clothed. It is recommended that you wear loose fitting, comfortable and light clothing. The practitioner will guide you as to what position you will need to receive your specific treatment, it can be a combination of either sitting, standing and/or lying down. This is a hands-on treatment that is typically gentle and non-invasive. After treatment, you will be advised on post-treatment care and possible follow up recommendations.

Vibrational Sound Therapy using a special vibrational table that is connected to a sound source employs physical vibrotactile vibrations.

They bathe you with relaxing, healing vibrations and encapsulate you in soothing sounds as your stresses melt away. These tables vibrate at a variety of speeds at the same time, due to the different vibrational rates of each note in a piece of music.

Vibroacoustics stimulates the muscles, increases blood flow and moves fluid throughout the body. The use of Vibroacoustics triggers the Relaxation Response in the body naturally, without prescription drugs. This results in decreased muscle tension, a lowered heart rate and blood pressure, a deeper breathing pattern, calming of the stomach, and a peaceful, pleasant mood.

The use of CD's specifically designed to promote relaxation and/or reduce stress, to induce various brainwave states, for meditation practices, to clear emotional blockages and balance the chakras or to use electronically reproduced frequencies to address specific physical disorders with bioacoustics may all be incorporated into the personalized sound therapy treatments. Beyond the benefits of hearing these sounds, experiencing them through a table, actually feeling them, allows the body to integrate these frequencies at deeper levels.

What to Expect: Your appointment consists of an introductory consult to discuss your goals of your treatment. You are fully clothed and lie on your back on the table that looks similar to a traditional massage table. You may choose to have a blanket to cover you. Depending on the practitioner, additional techniques may be added to enhance the treatment such as reiki, crystals, aromatherapy or tuning forks. After the treatment, there is an opportunity for you to discuss to your experience, or you may choose not to share your feelings. The key is to honour your level of comfort and relaxation and to maximize your experience.

EFT (Emotional Freedom Technique)

EFT, also known as ‘Meridian Tapping’ is a psychological version of acupuncture (or acupressure) that can rewire your emotional response to a thought about the past, present and future by tapping with fingertips to stimulate meridian points on the body.

The result changes negative emotions to a positive. Working with emotions, balances the energy system in the body producing a calming in the brain.

EFT reduces fear, stress, anxiety, PTSD and depression.

Emotional Freedom Technique (EFT) is an evidence-based self-help therapeutic method and over 100 studies demonstrate its efficacy. https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC6381429/

It is a coping tool that can be added to your toolbox and can be a wonderful complement to your current professional mental healthcare. It is recommended that you try it for yourself to see if it works for you, as with any modality, results may vary for each individual.
