Relaxation Massage Therapy Edmonton

Stress reduction is the basis of every massage therapy. A relaxation massage looks at the body as a whole. Using a variety of long, flowing strokes the intention of a relaxation is to create an overall mental, physical and spiritual state of well-being. There is less emphasis on working out the serious tension and adhesions in the muscle tissue and your pain is never pushed to your limits in order to get the muscle to release. Relaxation massage therapy lowers stress levels, improves both vascular and lymphatic circulation, lowers blood pressure, improves mental clarity and decreases muscular tension.

Sport Massage Edmonton

Sport massage therapy helps to enhance an athlete’s performance and training. Regular massage has become an integral part of any athletic routine because the benefits show through in quicker recovery and improved performance.

Anyone who is physically active can benefit. Sports massage focuses on particular muscle groups related to your specific activity, from weight training to golfing, cycling or hockey.

A combination of massage techniques will aid in the prevention of injuries, decrease muscle soreness, improve flexibility and help shorten recovery time.

Therapeutic Massage

Therapeutic Massage can be used to address a specific injury, condition or pain. It can be used during acute, sub-acute or chronic stages of healing. It is used to treat musculoskeletal disorders and complaints and employs a dedicated set of techniques to achieve a measure of relief.

During acute stages, a milder treatment may be used to help reduce inflammation. During later stages, patients may require (and better tolerate) more aggressive treatment techniques to eliminate scar tissue or trigger points in the soft tissue.

Reiki

Reiki is a Japanese technique used to treat energy imbalance, stress reduction and relaxation within the body through energy transfer between the patient and therapist. This improves the patient’s self-healing mechanisms, restores overall equilibrium and allows for relaxation and feelings of peace, security and well-being.

A massage for those who would like some energy work combined with massage. Reiki is an energetic healing technique that activates the natural healing process of the client’s body to restore physical and emotional well-being. During a session, various stones or crystals are placed on your body aligned with these chakra points, roughly in the regions above the head, on the forehead, on the throat, on the chest, on the stomach, on the gut, and near the root chakra area. The stones used and their positioning may be chosen for the symptoms reported by the client and any energy imbalances noted by the practitioner. In crystal healing, stones are assigned various properties, and the colours red through violet are associated with seven chakra points on the body. Expect around 70% massage and 30% reiki. Fully claimable for those who have massage coverage with health insurance.

Reflexology

Reflexology is the application of manual therapy on the feet and hands by applying the right amount of pressure to evoke a systemic response. These body parts contain reflex points that are directly linked to organ systems and cellular processes within the body and by stimulating them, the therapist is improving function in these areas.

Orthopedic Massage

This technique is a comprehensive system of multiple approaches working to increase joint spacing through gentle mobilization of soft tissues around joints. Overall pain and dysfunction are reduced, with an increase in range of motion and strength. Assessment and treatment of injuries in conjunction with postural stabilization make this a highly effective approach to pain management and recovery.

Craniosacral Therapy

Craniosacral Therapy (CST) is a gentle, hands-on approach that has been used for years to to release tensions deep in the body to decrease pain and dysfunction. Using ultra-light pressure to correct abnormalities in the cerebrospinal fluid, this technique restores optimal brain and body function. It is used to treat a multitude of disorders, from migraines to post-traumatic stress disorder, and improves whole-body health.

Cupping

Cupping is offered by both our acupuncturist (traditional fire cupping) and our massage therapists. Although cupping has many versatile uses for acupuncture and Traditional Chinese Medicine, it is specifically used by our massage therapists to painlessly assist with the release of painful fascial adhesions. This provides increased range of motion and a reduction in trigger point activation.

Incorporating myofascial cupping to multiple areas into a regular massage with a selection of silicone or kangzhu (pump) cups (regular or heart-shaped), cupping is used to drain excess fluids and toxins, stimulate the peripheral nervous system, bring blood flow to stagnant muscles and skin, and loosens adhesions, connective tissue, and stubborn knots in soft tissue. Gua sha is a natural, alternative therapy that involves scraping your skin with a massage tool to improve your circulation. This ancient Chinese healing technique may offer a unique approach to better health, addressing issues like chronic pain. Select this massage if you desire cupping and/or gua sha therapy to more than one targeted area.

Hot Stone Massage

​Hot Stone Massage incorporates jade stones into relaxation and therapeutic massage, working in alternating temperatures, which enables the therapist to work at a deeper level with less effort and allow more comfort for the client.

These stones have been cut to various shapes and sizes and then polished providing a very smooth and silky feeling on the skin. They are non-porous and do not harbor any bacteria. Jade is a protective stone believed to heal stressed organs and discharge toxins.

It slows the aging process and strengthens the body’s natural defense.

Myofascial Release

Myofascial release is a gentle hands-on form of stretching that evaluates and treats fascial connective tissue restrictions and muscle tension. It works to increase space between joints to allow for better range of motion and decreased pain.

TMJD Massage

External and intraoral massage is an effective treatment for clients who suffer from TMJ dysfunction, trigger point-related headaches or excess jaw tension. During this massage, your therapist will first focus on releasing tension in the muscles of the upper back and shoulders, then in the areas of the collarbone, chest and neck to relax all of the areas surrounding and connected to the temporomandibular joint. Latex-free gloves are worn while working inside the mouth to release the muscles and fascia involved in mastication and jaw clenching. This massage specifically addresses the masseter and temporalis muscles, along with the medial and lateral pterygoids and the superficial and deep fascia of the anterior neck.
