All massage therapy treatments are structured around your specific goals, whether that be pain reduction, tension relief, injury rehabilitation, increasing range of motion or stress relief.
The two main umbrellas of treatments are relaxation massage and therapeutic massage.

The primary goal of relaxation massage is to promote relaxation and stress reduction. Soothing movements are used in a rhythmic fashion and usually light to moderate pressure is applied. Generally a full body treatment is done, however you may request only certain areas (for example, only upper body).

Therapeutic massage focuses on a specific complaint such as an injury or pain. A variety of techniques may be used depending on your needs, therapist training, and preferences. Techniques include kneading and compressions, trigger point therapy, facilitated stretching, deep tissue massage, soft tissue release, sports massage, myofascial release, nerve flossing, and joint mobilizations.

A massage that specializes on the needs of the mother as her body goes through the dramatic changes brought about by pregnancy. A massage can help relieve discomfort and stress on the muscles and nervous system. Generally, we can treat a woman in any trimester as we have received training in prenatal massage and we are aware of contraindications and modifications needed. We utilize the sidelying position with lots of pillows.

Our team is passionate about treating issues related to the jaw. TMJ Dysfunction complaints can include spasm or pain in the head, jaw, neck and shoulder muscles; headaches; jaw clicking or grinding; limited jaw opening; and dizziness. Causes can include whiplash, clenching/grinding the teeth, stress, trigger points, and postural dysfunction. After a thorough assessment of your jaw, a variety of massage techniques will be used.

All of our therapists have received additional training in myofascial cupping. Cupping can help reduce pain and increase range of motion. The two styles of cupping are static cupping (“parking” the cups in one place) and dynamic cupping (moving the cups along the surface of the skin). Most often we utilize a combination of the two techniques but can use just one if you prefer. Our cups are medical grade silicone and are cleaned using standards from Health Canada to achieve high level disinfection.

Hot Stone Massage uses smooth, heated basalt stones to help warm and relax the muscles, allowing for deeper work with less pressure. The heat increases circulation and promotes a deep sense of relaxation. This treatment is ideal for relieving muscle tension, reducing stress, and enhancing overall well-being. Simoneth has received additional training in hot stone therapy and follows strict cleaning protocols to ensure safety and comfort.
