Massage
As a Registered Massage Therapist I am able to treat a variety of conditions, and just some are listed below. I am able to offer therapeutic massage in a clinical setting at http://www.movementandfunction.ca/ located on Montreal Road, and at Align Massage Therapy in Orleans https://www.alignyourbody.com/ .
Therapeutic Massage is effective in treating:
Chronic Pain, Repetitive Stress Injuries, Sports Related Injuries, Headaches & Migraines,
Postural Imbalances, Anxiety and Depression, Fatigue, Muscle Strains and Sprains
Pregnancy & Postnatal, Work/Life Stress, Maintain General Wellness
What will happen?:
Prior to treatment a health history questionnaire is completed, and a postural and physical assessment is done. Your treatment plan will be discussed, with your consent we will treat the areas discussed. Post treatment I like to provide homework suitable to your current physical lifestyle.
Swedish/Relaxation Massage:
This type of massage uses a light to medium touch and is designed to provide you with a sense of calmness and relaxation. Ideal for pregnancy, anxiety and stress.
Deep Tissue Massage:
Deep tissue massage is a type of massage therapy that focuses on realigning deeper layers of muscles. It is used for chronic aches, pain and contracted areas.
Reiki
Reiki is a Japanese technique, as taught by Dr. Mikao Usui, for stress reduction and relaxation that also promotes healing. It is administered by the therapist laying their hands on various areas of the body, and is based on the idea that an unseen "life force energy" flows through us and is what causes us to be alive. Reiki can be provided as a stand alone treatment or in conjunction with massage therapy.
Hot Stone Massage
Massage therapy is given with hands on touch and the use of heated lava stones. The heated stones help to promote relaxation, soften muscle tissue and increase circulation.
Silicone Cupping
May be practised as tissue massage, or used for fascial restriction. Silicone cups are placed on the skin and gently moved or left stationary for a few minutes to create a suction. Cupping can be beneficial to increase circulation, decrease pain, increase range of motion and can help with tissue maintenance.
