Massage Therapy in Port Moody

While many people view massage therapy as luxurious, its benefits extend beyond pampering. Registered massage therapy is a path to a healthier and more balanced life. Whether you’re recovering from injuries, managing chronic pain, or seeking a retreat from daily stress, this type of bodywork is a fantastic holistic approach that offers more than just relaxation.

Our Techniques

Our registered massage therapists (RMTs) specialize in therapeutic massage that targets specific concerns, Swedish massage for relaxation, and specialized prenatal massage for expecting mothers. (We offer pregnancy pillows so moms-to-be can be comfortable during their sessions). Using proven neuromuscular techniques, our therapists work with muscles, tendons, and ligaments to improve mobility and reduce discomfort. Mild fascia release is often used, along with compression techniques and passive movement, to allow better mobility of the soft tissue that’s targeted.

Hot Stone Massage: Although associated with a more luxurious and spa experience, hot stone massage can be a great modality for people with a lot of muscle tension who don’t enjoy deep tissue massage. The heat transfer from the stones helps melt away the tension and relax the muscles deeply without having to apply too much pressure. See online booking for pricing.

Pediatric Massage Therapy: Pediatric massage therapy is also a great modality for kids of all ages. Techniques are modified, and we have found that a 30-minute session is the right amount of time for kids. Reasons for your child to receive massage therapy include:

  • Help with digestive motility (constipation or gassiness in babies and toddlers)
  • Growing pains
  • Posture concerns
  • Neck and back pain
  • Young athletes (for fast recovery, with repetitive strain and injuries from training and falls/accidents)

Frequently Asked Questions

How do massage and chiropractic work together?

Massage and chiropractic care are a powerful combination. Chiropractic focuses on aligning the spine to support your nervous system and promote optimal spine and joint mobility, while massage targets the muscles and soft tissues in your body to release tension and improve circulation. Since muscles are anchored to your bones and joints, it makes sense to address aches and pains from both angles. Together, they help your body stay balanced and functioning at its best.

What should I wear?

For a therapeutic massage, you’ll typically undress to your comfort level and always be appropriately draped to ensure your privacy. Your therapist will make sure you feel safe, respected, and at ease throughout your session.

What does a massage feel like?

Your massage will be tailored to you. Sessions often begin with gentle strokes and compression to relax you, followed by focused techniques to release tension or tight muscles. If deeper pressure is used, it will always stay within your comfort level—just let your therapist know if you’d like adjustments.
