Probably the most common type of massage in the western world, you relax on the massage table while your RMT uses techniques that help soothe your muscles and promote healthy circulation. Swedish Massage can be very relaxing and/or invigorating depending on your goals, and it can be combined with other types of massage for a richer experience.

Deep Tissue is designed to free up restricted tissues and get down to the deeper muscles. This is a great option to thoroughly address your tension. With skill, your RMT can provide effective Deep Tissue massage without causing pain, though you may want some satisfying “good pain” in specific areas as pesky knots of tension are worked out.

Also known as Thai Yoga Massage, this is assisted-yoga-meets-acupressure. You wear loose, comfortable clothing throughout the treatment and your Thai RMT moves you through various stretches/postures and applies pressure to specific acupressure points and lines. This is a great option if you want to experience a more active and invigorating massage that leaves you feeling refreshed, relaxed, and revitalised.

The TMJ is your Temporomandibular Joint, also known as your Jaw Joint. The TMJ is a complex joint that uses several muscles to move up and down, side to side and front to back. It gets a lot of use in everyday activities, and sometimes we clench even when not actively using it. TMJ Therapy can help reduce tension, balance out your jaw muscles, and mobilize the joint for easier use and more functional movement.

Sports Massage can take many forms depending on your goals. It often draws from a variety of techniques to either tone your muscles up for action, balance your body so you can move more freely, tone you down for quicker recovery after an event, or treat various injuries to get you back on track.

In prenatal massage, you are normally positioned lying on your side with a pillow under your head, one between your knees, and another to hold in your arms. This comfortable position is quite stable, so your RMT can safely apply a depth-of-pressure that works well for you during your pregnancy.

While most massage treatments apply pressure into the muscles, a cupping treatment uses vacuum therapy to draw the tissue layers apart. This can help improve the flow of lymphatics and cardiovascular circulation and pull apart bonded tissues so you can move more freely. If you have super tight muscles or feel like your movement is restricted, cupping can be a great therapy.
