R.M.T. Massage (relaxation, deep tissue)

Registered Massage Therapy (RMT) is a regulated health profession in which therapists use hands-on techniques to manipulate the soft tissues of the body, such as muscles, tendons, ligaments, and connective tissues. RMTs undergo extensive training and education to provide safe and effective treatment for a variety of conditions.

During an RMT treatment, the therapist will assess the client’s needs and goals, and develop a personalized treatment plan to address their specific concerns. Treatment techniques may include Swedish massage, deep tissue massage, myofascial release, trigger point therapy, and more, depending on the client’s individual needs.

RMT treatments can help to reduce pain, improve mobility, enhance circulation, and promote relaxation and overall well-being. RMTs may work collaboratively with other healthcare providers to ensure comprehensive care for their clients. It is important to seek out a qualified and registered massage therapist to ensure safe and effective treatment.

         Aromatherapy

Aromatherapy activates areas in your nose called smell receptors, which send messages through your nervous system to your brain

The oils (Essential Oil)activate certain areas of your brain like your limbic system, which plays a role in your emotions. They could also have an impact on your hypothalamus, which may respond to the oil by creating feel-good brain chemicals like serotonin.

Some experts think that when you put essential oils on your skin, they cause a response in your skin and other parts of your body, like your joints.

      Hot Stone Massage

A hot stone massage is a therapeutic massage technique that involves the use of smooth, heated stones placed on specific points on the body to help relax and warm up the muscles. The heat from the stones can help to improve circulation, reduce tension, and promote deep relaxation.

                                           Prenatal & Postnatal  Massage

Prenatal and postnatal massage are specialized forms of massage therapy that are designed to support and nurture women during pregnancy and the postpartum period. These massages are typically performed by massage therapists who have received specific training in prenatal and postnatal care.

Prenatal massage focuses on addressing the unique physical and emotional needs of pregnant women. It can help to alleviate discomforts such as back pain, sciatic pain, swelling, headaches, and fatigue. Prenatal massage techniques are adapted to accommodate a woman’s changing body and hormonal fluctuations. The therapist will typically position the pregnant woman in a comfortable side-lying or semi-reclined position and use gentle, soothing strokes to promote relaxation and relieve tension.

Postnatal massage, on the other hand, is designed to support the body’s recovery after childbirth. It can help to alleviate muscle tension, improve circulation, reduce stress, and promote healing. Postnatal massage may also help to address issues such as breastfeeding difficulties, scar tissue from C-sections, and postpartum depression.
