Relax your body and your senses!



Swedish massage therapy is the most popular therapeutic massage type. This type of massage focuses on relaxing muscles and increasing blood circulation (rather than deep-tissue massage that targets connective tissues). Are you thinking about booking a Swedish massage? Discover why a Swedish massage might be the right choice for you.



Pain management

Swedish massage can help manage chronic pain caused by conditions like sciatica or osteoarthritis. If you let your massage therapist know about your pain points, he or she can target those areas and stroke them to improve local circulation.



Improved blood flow

Effleurage is an extended therapeutic stroke used to direct blood flow towards the heart. It’s a technique to widen your blood vessels and boost your blood flow. Your body then can effectively clear toxins from your body, and help your muscles receive more nutrients and oxygen.



Rehabilitation for muscle injuries

Your Therapist may also use kneading and friction to address any existing injuries, such as adhesions (which occur when muscle tissues fuse together). This technique relaxes the layers of the muscles, helping you feel rejuvenated.



Increased flexibility

When your muscles are relaxed, you have a greater range of motion. A combination of Swedish massage and frequent stretching is an excellent approach to avoid workout-related ailments and get the most out of your workout.



Reduced stress

Swedish massage is the best type of massage to promote relaxation. You can choose to spend between 60-120 minutes with your therapist. The techniques used in Swedish Massage lower the levels of the stress hormone cortisol in your body. Lowering your stress level offers many additional benefits for your wellness, including reducing or eliminating tension headaches, body aches, fatigue, brain clarity and a better night’s sleep.



Improved immune system

Another great benefit of Swedish massage is boosting your immune system. You will be less likely to get sick and help your immune system be stronger.



Swedish massage is a great way to treat yourself but you should not forget also the important health benefits in your physical and mental body. Swedish massage is a great option for those new to massage or people who seek relaxation and relief from pain and daily struggles.

Are you someone who works hard, exercises often but only rarely gets a massage? If so, you don’t support your body to reach its full potential. Anyone who works hard daily or exercises out four or more times per week should have a deep tissue massage every two weeks. Otherwise, your muscles will be tense and your workout or daily work will be painful and not efficient.



Deep Tissue massage involves applying sustained pressure using slow, deep strokes to target the inner layers of your muscles and connective tissues. This helps to break up scar tissue that forms following an injury, and reduce muscle tension. 



Some benefits of a deep tissue massage include:



Better workouts

Relaxed, less stressed muscles will give you increased range of motion during your workouts. Your body will be far more efficient at building muscle and burning calories.



Reduced fatigue to your daily work

Relax your muscles on a regular basis. If you work in construction or other hard hands-on work your muscles will be tense and your daily work will be painful and exhausting. Deep Tissue massage along with your Therapist’s guidance to strengthen your muscles efficiently will keep you up and running full with energy.

 

Better mood, less stress

Research has shown that massage helps lower levels of stress hormones while at the same time boosting those “feel good” neurotransmitters like dopamine, serotonin and endorphins.



Better sleep 

Not only will regular massage help you feel good, you’ll also sleep better due to less pain and a boost in serotonin.



Reduced Pain

Deep tissue massage will work out the knots from stressed, overworked muscles and connective tissue (fascia) to alleviate immediate pain, as well as chronic joint and muscle pain. It also promotes faster healing by increasing blood flow and reducing inflammation.



Improve Overall Health

In addition to benefiting muscle and tissue health, deep tissue massage positively affects your overall health by decreasing blood pressure and improving lung function.



Work hard but don’t forget to recover! Adding a regular deep tissue massage to your recovery routine will keep you feeling fit, strong and ready to conquer your next challenge.

Fascia is comprised of connective tissue and, along with the skeletal system, is the structural support system of the body. Connective tissue is one of the four main tissue types in the body alongside epithelial, muscle, and nervous tissue.



Superficial fascia is located just below the skin and in many places blends together with the reticular dermis. It is often imagined as a second skin, meaning it covers the entire body and holds everything together.



Deep fascia is the dense fascia that creates muscular compartments and surrounds each individual muscle.



Throughout the body, the collagen within the fascia tends to line up in parallel. This increases the strength of the fascia considerably. In fact, plantar fascia, some of the densest fascia in the body, can withstand up to 2000 pounds per square inch! An essential part of this consideration is that the collagen fibers must be aligned in the same direction. The question then becomes: what tells the collagen to line up parallel? The answer is movement. When we apply force to the body of any kind (lifting objects, running, sitting, etc.), the fascia will align with the direction of force. This is a fundamental idea in fascia; movement and stress are what align the fibers.



In order to understand the effect of myofascial adhesions, it helps to start with a demonstration. Begin by pinching the bottom right section of your shirt, then twist it a few times until you have a small bundle of fabric. Now, lift your left arm to the side. How does it feel? Chances are you felt a restriction and got to a point where you could no longer lift your arm. This is how fascia causes restrictions. A small adhesion can eventually lead to larger issues. Because all fascia is connected inside the body, when something is out of sync in one spot, that can cause problems in seemingly unrelated areas which are actually connected by the same fascia line.



A trained massage therapist performs orthopedic assessment and spots fascia adhesions which lead to postural compensations or painful conditions.



Below are specific kinds of pain, in which fascia restrictions and adhesion are involved and fascia release techniques could help:



Headaches
Low Back Pain
Pelvic Pain
Knee Pain
Shoulder Pain
Neck Pain
Cervical Facet Syndrome
Nerve Compressions
Tendinopathies
Carpal Tunnel Syndrome
Plantar Fasciitis
Scoliosis

Manual Myofascial Release Massage

Hot stone massage is performed with heated volcanic stones, as they are smooth and retain heat exceptionally well, and therapeutic essential oils. The stones' temperature is perfect and consistent throughout the treatment. 

The stones are then placed on the body in specific spots, either guided anatomically or on energy points to help aid balance and flow. Beyond leaving the stones in place, the therapist will also use the stones to perform Swedish massage techniques, such as kneading, long smooth strokes, and rolling. 

Benefits
1. It’s comforting and relaxing. You will feel deeply embraced, right into your soul. 
2. The heat from the stones penetrates your body, bringing many of the benefits of massage to a deeper level. It allows intense muscle relaxation which enables the massage therapist to actually work very deeply.
3. Relief from tension and pain naturally. If tension is behind an ache or pain, then heat can be enormously effective at releasing the tension and thus easing the pain. When heat is applied to an area, the blood flow to that region increases. It can help alleviate spasms and enable a joint or muscles to be gently flexed and regain movement and mobility.
4. Relief from stress and anxiety, as lots of processes are stimulated by massage. Endorphins and other feel-good hormones are released. At the same time, the ‘stress’ hormones, such as norepinephrine and cortisol, are lowered. 
5. Aids into a deep, restful and restorative sleep
6. Immune boosting
7. Managing chronic pain, due to the lower levels of substance P, which is how the body partly transmits pain signals.
8. Chronic diseases support. From less nausea and depression to reduced pain and fatigue, it would appear that a caring massage can really help individuals to alleviate some of their symptoms.
9. Draw out toxins through the body’s natural sweating process. 
10. Promotes Self-healing. Whether it’s due to the balance of energy flow, or some other lesser-understood process in the body and mind, a hot stone massage can restore balance and many feel it helps with self-healing.

Adding Value, Wellness and Convenience to the Workplace

Having a mobile massage therapist come directly to your workplace is a great way to help aid the productivity and wellness of your employees. 

In our corporate program we utilize an empty office, boardroom or gym for employees treatments. Employees pay for the massages themselves and are able to claim the treatment under their health insurance benefits - so no cost to the employer. 

The main benefit of this approach is convenience and a service that promotes mental and physical wellness.

Your employees will not interrupt their work day to go for a massage. Depending on the policies and culture of the organization, employees may choose to have the massage during their lunch hour or may be allotted personal time to attend appointments.

Benefits include:

​1) Convenience - employees don't have to travel to a clinic. Less time away from the workplace = more productivity for the employer. 

​2) Stress Relief - A whopping 85% stress reduction! Stress levels measured before and after each massage found one of the biggest benefits of massage therapy to be a seriously effective office stress reliever.

​3) Balanced Mood - One of the big benefits of mid-day massage treatments is that they've been shown to increase levels of serotonin and norepinephrine. 

​4) Relieves Muscle Tension & Pain - Back pain is literally cut in half with regular corporate massages. A decrease of 48% was seen in the studies on back and neck pain and tension.

​5) Improves Quality of Sleep - Over multiple studies, the average improvement in sleep quality was 28%. That includes increased duration as well as fewer sleep disturbances. Well-rested employees = happy, more productive employees.

​6) Headache Relief - Headaches are decreased by an average of 48% in duration and intensity with regular onsite massages.

​7) Lowers Blood Pressure - Across multiple studies, there was an average of a 6% drop in blood pressure, which may not sound like a lot. But that’s literally the difference between a hypertensive blood pressure and a normal one, and that’s without any medication at all! Plus these studies showed that there was a lasting effect and the benefits of corporate massage programs showed very clearly as the massage group continued to have lower blood pressure than the control groups for weeks after treatment stopped.

​8) Can Help Prevent Or Treat Repetitive Strain Injuries - On employees doing repetitive movements, regular massage reduces the occurrence of repetitive stress injuries by 37%.

​9) Helps Immune Function - In the studies on immune function, the good cells of the body perform 35% better as one of the benefits of massage, and this is especially true for auto immune and inflammatory illnesses. Massage helps the body recover and regulate. 

​10) Increases Mental Focus, Alertness and Clarity - After in-house massage, employees in two studies show increased alertness, speed and accuracy on math computations following their treatment. 

​If you work in the Human Resources department in your company and are looking for a progressive way to add value and productivity to your employees and workplace, in-house mobile massage is an incredible service. Many employees that we've treated over the years have commented that they weren't taking advantage of their benefits before and never had a massage. They also mentioned that time and convenience (or lack of it) were also big factors as to why they didn't consider going for a massage. 

When their company hired a massage therapist, they were grateful that they had the opportunity to take advantage of the massages at their workplace. 

Depending on the size of your company, we have a variety of options to suit your needs. 

Specific pricing, Massage Modalities offered, length, scheduling and logistics will be discussed. 

Feel free to reach out to talk about how this service could bring great value to your organization and employees.
