“Is it just about relaxation?” – NO

Massage therapy is a hands-on, therapeutic approach to health that involves the manipulation of soft tissues—muscles, tendons, ligaments, and fascia—to support the body’s healing process. Registered massage therapists assess and treat physical dysfunction and pain, working to improve mobility, reduce stress, and enhance overall well-being.

What does Massage Therapy help with?
“Can it help with tension, pain, or stress?” – YES

It can also help with the following:

• muscle soreness or stiffness

• chronic pain conditions (e.g. fibromyalgia, arthritis)

• tension headaches or migraines

• postural issues and movement restrictions

• injury recovery & rehabilitation

• relaxation and nervous system regulation

• improving circulation and lymphatic flow

• enhancing sleep quality and stress management

“Can anyone get treatment?”

Yes, massage therapy is non-invasive & tailored to each individual, making it a safe option for all stages of life. Treatments can be adapted for the most delicate bodies, supporting people of all ages, including infants and seniors.

During pregnancy the body undergoes physical changes which massage therapy can support through specialized techniques, making both mom and baby more comfortable.

Sessions are booked in 30 minute or 1 hour increments but do not exceed 1 hour as we don’t want to over-treat. It can overwhelm the tissues and interrupt this natural healing process.

• Physiotherapy: Focuses on rehabilitation, improving physical function, & reducing pain through movement science. Treatment includes exercises, education, manual therapy, and modalities (e.g., ultrasound, TENS) to restore mobility and strength.

It depends on your goals.

Everyone responds to massage therapy differently, and the number of treatments you'll need depends on what you're hoping to achieve. If you're coming in for general relaxation or stress relief, you may feel the benefits after just one session. However, if you're seeking relief from chronic pain, tension, or injury, more consistent sessions may be needed to create lasting change.

Factors like whether the issue is recent or long-standing, your body's natural healing ability, overall health, and day-to-day lifestyle — including work, activity levels, stress, and sleep — all play a role.

After your first one or two treatments, I’ll have a better idea of how your body is responding and can recommend a personalized plan that fits your needs.
