What is Massage Therapy?
Registered Massage Therapy (RMT) is a therapeutic practice that involves the manipulation of soft tissues in the body, including muscles, ligaments, tendons, and fascia. RMTs are trained professionals who use various techniques to promote relaxation, alleviate pain, and enhance overall physical health and well-being. Massage therapists use various techniques, including stroking, kneading, pressure, and stretching, to address physical discomfort, stress, and other health conditions.

Spinal Decompression
Spinal decompression (traction) is used to treat conditions like herniated discs, degenerative disc disease, sciatica, and chronic lower back pain by relieving pressure on the spinal discs, nerves, and other structures within the spine and promoting the movement of fluids, oxygen, and nutrients back into the discs.
Fascia Stretch Therapy™
Fascia Stretch Therapy is a type of assisted stretching that focuses on the fascia, a connective tissue that surrounds muscles, bones and joints. Fascia plays a key role in movement, flexibility, and overall body function. Over time, due to poor posture, injury, repetitive movement, or lack of movement, fascia can become tight, restricted, or stuck, which can limit mobility and cause discomfort or pain.
Deep Tissue Massage
Deep tissue massage focuses on the deeper layers of muscle tissue. It can be accomplished by applying firm pressure to relieve chronic muscle tension and tightness. Manipulation of soft tissues in the body (muscles, tendons, ligaments, and connective tissue) can promote relaxation, relieve tension, improve circulation, and aid in the healing of injuries.
