Registered Massage Therapy

Massage is a non-invasive form of therapy that uses touch to facilitate healing.  This touch, which we apply to suit your individual needs, also brings about relaxation, rejuvenation and muscular balance. 

It diminishes the effects of chronic stress on the body and reduces inflammation.  Massage is a catalyst that enhances the effects of exercise and other healing modalities.
