Massage Therapy
An integral component of our comprehensive range of offerings here at CHC is massage therapy. Through proven practice and intuitive approach, our skilled and passionate registered massage therapists go beyond addressing isolated symptoms; they work to restore balance to the body's interconnected systems, promoting well-being on physical, mental, and emotional levels.
What does massage therapy look like? The gentle (or not, depending on your preference) therapy of the body’s soft tissues, including muscle tissue, ligaments, tendons, fascia and joints to better manage chronic pain, treat acute injury, prevent new injuries and promote overall function and long-term wellbeing. Additional training in specific areas of focus allow our RMT’s to apply a range of techniques to ease pregnancy-related pain, support pelvic health, promote postpartum healing, and ease headaches and jaw tension. With a deep understanding of the often forgotten energetic body, our massage therapists also hold space for your emotional journey through a combination of reiki and massage.
Fertility Support
Growing a family looks and feels different for everyone. Whether you are in the early stages of planning or are already receiving fertility treatments, massage therapy can enhance this journey by promoting an optimal physical and emotional environment for conception.
Mercier Massage is a deep pelvic visceral massage protocol, developed to help bring about better organ mobility and improve blood flow to restore optimal pelvic organ function. This massage can help with preconception wellness, it works well on its own and in combination with medically assisted fertility treatments.
Perinatal Massage Therapy
The journey through pregnancy and into the postpartum period is one of the most life changing experiences both physically and emotionally. Our massage therapists are dedicated to holding space for your whole-self through every ebb and flow. A gentle but proactive approach to prenatal massage therapy eases or prevents the aches of pregnancy, promotes a healthy flow through the systems connecting you and baby, and prepares the body for labour. Once baby has arrived, specialized treatments can support postpartum healing by tending to mobility and sensation post cesarian/c-section delivery, and encouraging lymphatic drainage.
Paediatric Massage Therapy
Massages are for baby and adolescents too! Massage therapy is a beautiful addition to paediatric and adolescent care at CHC. This specialized and gentle application of massage supports growth and development, helping to calm the nervous system, ease muscle tension and growing pains, alleviate gas and digestive upset and encourage lymphatic drainage to enhance your little ones immune function.
Working with newborns and clients all the way through to their early teens, our team of experienced paediatric massage therapists will have your children feeling their best for every big milestone and every step in between.
