Registered Massage Therapy

What is Massage Therapy?
Massage therapy is the manipulation of the body’s muscles, connective tissue, tendons, ligaments, and joints in order to cause a therapeutic response.

Your Massage Therapy Treatment:
Each massage will begin with an assessment of your current concerns to decide what the best approach will be for your treatment. Your Registered Massage Therapist will then discuss a treatment plan with you and get your consent to treat. Your comfort is our utmost priority and we will check in with you during your massage in regards to things like pressure and temperature to make sure you are doing well. We also welcome your feedback and requests for changes at any time during your treatment for additional things like lighting, music and positioning.

Therapeutic Movement Massage

Therapeutic Movement Massage is a treatment which consists of both hands on treatment and therapeutic exercise with postural coaching.

Areas of tension or injury are assessed and then treated with myofascial massage and Trigger Point Therapy to free up restrictions. Patients are then guided through exercises and stretches specifically tailored to their individual needs. Using a combination of Rehabilitative Pilates, calisthenics, therapeutic stretching, and active flexibility, patients will be given easy to follow homecare plans to help them work towards their movement goals.

Nicole helps patients to understand anatomy and movement, empowering them to better understand the source of their pain and dysfunction and equip them with strategies to restore strength and balance. TMM is a treatment for individuals who are at any point in their movement journey. Whether they work at a desk and are looking to incorporate more movement into their lives or are athletes with many years of movement experience and are looking to take their understanding of anatomy and movement to the next level.

Please come to treatment with athletic attire for the movement portion of the treatment.

RMT Receipt will be given and direct billing to Pacific Blue Cross available
