Registered Massage Therapy
Massage therapy is the manipulation of soft tissues of the body including muscles, connective tissue, tendons, ligaments and joints. Massage therapy is a clinically-oriented healthcare option that helps alleviate the discomfort associated with every day occupational stresses, muscular over-use and many chronic pain conditions.
Your therapeutic massage appointment will include a clinical assessment and therapeutic treatments that may include clothed muscle energy techniques and assisted stretching, Swedish and advanced therapeutic massage work, and recommendations for self-care included remedial exercises and stretches, and hydrotherapy options. Arrive early to your first appointment to complete the requisite health history form and when possible, wear loose clothing to allow for full range of motion during clothed work.
Acupuncture
The term Acupuncture was coined in the late 17th century. Acu is Latin for Needle and puncture is English. Acupuncture is a technique in which practitioners use needles with a system of integrative medicine known as TCM (Traditional Chinese Medicine). These hair-like, very fine and thin needles are put in precise points of the body to promote, restore, and improve health, relieving pain by stimulating the subcutaneous tissue. Acupuncture is proven to help reduce stress by lowering stress hormones, and cortisol and boosting the release of endorphins. This will reduce anxiety and improve mood. Acupuncture can calm the mind and results in mental clarity with the effect of tranquil, sedative action when stimulating the neural pathways. Deep relaxation or sleep is achieved by decreasing the activity of the delta and theta waves. Energy is naturally increased when the body can rest properly. Acupuncture also increases circulation and promotes self-healing.
Acupuncture points are believed to stimulate the central nervous system. This, in turn, releases chemicals into the muscles, spinal cord, and brain. These biochemical changes may stimulate the body's natural healing abilities and promote physical and emotional well-being.
Reflexology
Reflexology is one of the safest and least invasive complementary therapeutic practices available. The body has the ability to heal itself. Following illness, stress, injury or disease, it is in a state of “imbalance “and vital body systems can be blocked, preventing the body from functioning optimally. Reflexology can be used to restore and maintain the body’s natural balance and facilitate healing. The application and effect of the therapy are unique for each person and the benefits can vary. Reflexology is safe for everyone, although pressure and length of session may vary for babies, the aged or the extremely ill.
Foot Reflexology is the stimulation of reflexes on the foot using specific pressure and relaxation techniques performed manually by the therapist using only their hands and fingers to apply pressure.

Osteopathy
Osteopathy is a manual therapy in which the practitioner works with the collective mechanics of the entire body in order to realign the anatomical structure and facilitate the body's natural ability to heal and regulate. It is safe and beneficial for people for people aged 0-100. Rather than being focused specifically on the symptomatic area - osteopathy looks to the entire framework of the body in order to address the way the body works as a whole and may be feeding into the problem. Through factors such as postural problems and asymmetry across the body, trauma, and habits, we begin to create unequal loading into our joints and cause unnatural strain on certain areas as they work to bear more load or exert more force than they are designed to. In addition, as the body makes small anatomical adjustments to cope with these structural problems and compensate for them, the pathways of communication through the body become restricted. The blood vessels, nerves, and lymphatic system must travel between the muscles and bones to disperse through the body and if their pathways become restricted it can lead to a vast array of health complications beyond physical pain. Each treatment is a full body assessment and a full body treatment with the goal of restoring a healthy normal structure to the body in order to allow each joint to be loaded correctly, each muscle to have optimal tension, the blood, nerves, and lymph to flow without restriction. Once this occurs, the body has an innate ability to self-heal and self-regulate. Conditions that could benefit from osteopathic care include:
❖ Chronic and Acute Pain
❖ Post-surgical care
❖ Arthritis
❖ Osteoporosis
❖ Scoliosis
❖ Sinus Issues
❖ TMJ problems
❖ Women’s Health
❖ Maternity Care
❖ Lactation and Breastfeeding
❖ Infant Colic
❖ Bed Wetting
❖ Sleep Conscerns
❖ Digestive problems
❖ Long Covid
❖ Auto-immune Disease
❖ Post-Concussion Syndrome
❖ Headaches, Migraines, and Vertigo

Reiki
Reiki is a form of alternative therapy that originated in Japan in the early 20th century. The word Reiki is derived from two Japanese words - ‘rei’, meaning universal life force or spiritual energy, and ‘ki’ meaning energy or chi. Reiki is based on the principle that there is a universal energy that flows through all living things, and this energy can be harnessed to promote healing and balance in the body.
During a Reiki session, the recipient lies down fully clothed while the practitioner places their hands on or near different parts of the body in a specific sequence. This is done to channel the energy and help the recipient to release any blockages and balance their energy flow. The energy is said to help promote relaxation, reduce stress, alleviate pain, and boost the immune system. It is widely accepted as a form of complementary therapy in many hospitals and wellness centers. Reiki is considered safe and non-invasive.
