Treatments
Treatments
Registered massage therapy, acupuncture and cupping — used individually or together, depending on what your assessment turns up.
01
Registered Massage Therapy
Hands-on treatment for tension, restricted movement and recurring pain.
Good for
- Neck and shoulder tension from desk work
- Lower back pain and hip restriction
- Recurring headaches with a muscular cause
- Training load and recovery
- Maintenance between flare-ups
What to expect
Your first visit begins with a short intake and a physical assessment — posture, range of motion, and the movements that reproduce your symptoms. Treatment follows from that, and we tell you what we are doing and why as we go. You will leave with a small number of things to work on before the next visit.
02
Acupuncture
Fine needles at specific points to settle pain and release holding patterns.
Good for
- Pain that has not responded to hands-on work alone
- Deep muscular tension and trigger points
- Stress-related tightness through the neck and jaw
- Sleep disruption tied to physical tension
What to expect
Single-use sterile needles, inserted shallowly at points chosen for your presentation. Most people feel a dull heaviness rather than sharpness, then nothing much at all. Needles stay in for fifteen to twenty-five minutes while you rest. It is often combined with hands-on treatment in the same appointment.
03
Cupping Therapy
Suction to lift and decompress tissue that pressing alone cannot reach.
Good for
- Broad, stubborn tightness across the back
- Restricted tissue after an old injury
- Athletes wanting faster recovery between sessions
- Tension that returns quickly after massage
What to expect
Cups create gentle suction, either held in place or glided across oiled skin. It feels like a pulling pressure and is usually comfortable. Circular marks are normal, are not bruises, and typically fade within three to seven days — worth knowing if you have an event coming up.
Massage therapy receipts are issued under a registered therapist and are eligible for reimbursement by most extended health plans.
Sooner is easier
than later.
Pick a treatment, choose a time that suits you, and let the rest wait until you are on the table.
