Massage Therapy

Therapeutic massage to relieve muscle tension, reduce chronic pain, and support your overall recovery.

About this service

Our registered massage therapists press, rub, and manipulate the muscles and other soft tissues of the body using hands, fingers, forearms, and elbows. We offer a range of techniques tailored to each patient's needs: Swedish massage (long strokes, kneading, deep circular movements, vibration, and tapping), sports massage (combining Swedish and deep tissue methods for athletes), myofascial trigger point therapy (targeting painful trigger points), and aromatherapy massage incorporating essential oils. Research supports massage therapy for chronic low-back and neck pain, osteoarthritis knee pain, fibromyalgia, labour pain, and headaches. Massage is best delivered alongside physiotherapy or chiropractic care as part of a comprehensive treatment plan.
