Massage Therapy In Ottawa
Swedish/Therapeutic/Deep Tissue/Sports/Pregnancy Massage
Therapeutic, Deep Tissue, Sports and Pregnancy Massage are all types of Swedish Massage. Swedish massage is the gentle manipulation of soft tissue in the body. These tissues include muscles, ligaments, tendons, and joints. The manipulations are performed through using hands, elbows, thumbs, and fists in a particular manner to achieve a specific desired effect. A few of these effects may include treating trigger points, decreasing muscle tightness, decreasing stress levels and increasing flexibility and relaxation. They are all Swedish techniques used in different contexts.
Hot Stone Massage
Hot Stone Massage involves the application of heated, smooth, Basalt stones to the body and muscles. When heated, Basalt stones retain heat extremely well. The massage is performed using these hot stones, as the heat which is held in the stones transfers into the muscles giving a deep heated relaxing effect. The heat sedates nerves and promotes detoxification by releasing toxins through the blood. This type of massage can also aid digestion, and help to eliminate aches and pains in the body
Pregnancy Massage
Our Ottawa massage therapists are qualified to accommodate pregnant women to ensure they have a comfortable and relaxing experience through massage. Pregnancy massage is extremely beneficial for increasing blood and lymph circulation, which helps to reduce swelling. Another key benefit of this massage is the relief it provides from muscle cramps, spasms, and myofascial pain.
