Therapeutic and Relaxing Massage
The parasympathetic nervous system is the system that is activated when we are at rest, in meditation, or spend time in nature.
An intently relaxing massage treatment can help to stimulate this system.
Slow and firm pressure is the therapeutic base for treatment and changes to the tissues occur in response to signals from the brain. There are no forced or painful engagements as this treatment allows the nervous system time for response. Therapeutic work occurs when engaging with discomfort but should not be acutely painful.
This treatment can help to decrease pain, stimulate circulation, increase mobility, and decrease some of the physical effects of stress.

Therapeutic Relaxation
There are many different conditions that can be effectively treated with massage therapy. You can use massage as a stand alone intervention or you can combine treatment with care from other health professionals.
Complaints involving pain or limitation of movement are some of the most common reasons people seek out a qualified therapist.
Massage investigates how the muscular and skeletal body systems are interacting with the nervous system to develop a comprehensive treatment.
We will work with you and your goals to provide a treatment plan just for you.
If this is your first appointment please book in as an
Initial 60 or 90 Minute Massage as this allows for a detailed intake to determine what treatment and plan will work best for you.
Should time constraints or finances be a limiting factor, please talk to your therapist, as there are many at home activities and supports we can suggest that will provide guidance and allow you to reduce your reliance on in-clinic treatment.
