Through the power of touch, registered massage therapists assist their clients to restore, maintain, and enhance well-being. Massage therapy can improve health and increase the feeling of well-being by promoting the flow of blood and lymph, encouraging the release of toxins, relieving tension, stimulating nerves, and stretching and loosening muscles to keep them more elastic. Massage therapy is one of the most complimentary therapies to chiropractic and naturopathic care.
At Natura Wellness Clinic our team of, Registered Massage Therapists offer a wide range of massage services:
 General Swedish Massage - this technique is used to increase relaxation, boost immune system, improve metabolism, increase flexibility, and relieve superficial muscular tensions and stress. It is a combination of fingertip, thumb, palm, elbow, and forearm techniques that only goes to the depth of the client's tolerance.
Deep Tissue Massage - is a direct approach to relieve deep muscular tension that may be troublesome for the person to perform some of their acts of daily living. Deep tissue massage is a combination of fingertip, thumb, palm, elbow, and forearm techniques that only goes to the depth of the client's tolerance.
Trigger Point Therapy - is used to decrease deep muscular tension in the form of a knot. It uses a combination of thumb and elbow muscle kneading techniques with either light, moderate, or deep pressures, depending on the clients tolerance to enhance blood flow to the knot, helping the tight muscular tissues to let go of the individual fibers and return to their natural place of alignment.
Pressure will be placed directly onto the knot either using the 'trigger point barrier technique' or the 'pain scale' trigger point therapy to restrict blood flow for a few seconds to allow the knot to release. The technique is followed by light blood flow enhancing techniques such as effleurage and muscle kneading.
 Hot Stone Massage – is a special massage technique which uses heated smooth, flat stones placed on key points of the body. The massage therapist may also hold the stones and use them to massage certain areas of the body. The heat warms and relaxes the muscles, which allows the therapist to apply deeper pressure, if desired. The warmth of the hot stones improves circulation and calms the nervous system. The hot stones can also be placed on points that are thought to be energy centers of the body to rebalance the body and mind.
Thai Hot Stem Massage Therapy – uses traditional healing herbs and oils wrapped in unbleached cotton and then tied to a stem. These herbal stems are traditional tools that have been used in Thailand since ancient times. They help to release toxins, relieve muscle tension and joint pain and increase circulation in the body. Thai Herbal Stem Massage combines traditional massage techniques with therapeutic herbs and essential oils and resins that are steamed to release their healing properties and are then massaged over the body. The oils are absorbed into the blood stream through the skin and they react with the body in a sympathetic and gentle way.
Prenatal Massage - Prenatal massage uses a combination of pressures and techniques of general swedish massage therapy. It is a completely safe treatment to help relieve muscle tension, increase blood and lymph circulation, reduce stress, and relax the mommy-to-be.
Please note that you may combine the above techniques within a single massage therapy session.
