Therapeutic Massage
Dating back centuries, massage is a proven and well-documented therapy that not only promotes relaxation and pain relief but restores energy, flexibility, and mobility. Manipulating the soft tissues, therapeutic massage has been reported to improve circulation, digestion, muscle function and posture. Combining massage therapy with other natural health treatments allows the Source Studio team to help our patients enjoy unbridled energy and vitality.
Relaxation/Swedish Massage — Long and short fluid strokes are used with light to medium pressure to help induce stress relief, relaxation, and increased circulation/blood flow.
Deep Tissue — Similar to Swedish massage, the technique uses deeper pressure and strokes are slowed to alleviate sore, stiff, or achy muscles.
Trigger Point — Used to target specific areas of pain with deeper, more focused manipulation, usually with elbows, thumbs, and forearms, trigger point therapy is proven to relieve pain and reduce inflammation.
Deep Tissue With Moist Heath — Utilizing heated stones to massage and relax muscles, this type is proven to melt tension and increase relaxation.
Prenatal — Tailored to expecting mothers, prenatal massage techniques employ the use of pillows while the client lies on her side, delivering a safer and more comfortable session. Deep pressure is not advised for this massage. A doctor’s note is required if pregnancy is or was considered high risk at any point. Available to expectant mothers in their second and third trimesters.
Lymphatic Drainage — Rhythmic strokes are used in a very specific pattern to move swelling away from affected areas of the body, helping with allergy relief, post-surgery recovery, post-cancer treatments, and serves to relieve chronic pain.
