Registered Massage Therapy

Massage Therapy is the practice of soft tissue manipulation with physical, functional, and in some cases, psychological purposes and goals. Massage involves acting on and manipulating the client's body with pressure (structured, unstructured, stationary, and/or moving).

Target tissues may include muscles, tendons, ligaments, skin, joints, and other connective tissue. Massage can reduce or eliminate pain and improve mobility, circulation, immune system, anxiety, muscle tension and much more!

Our Massage Therapist, Romi, is available to take bookings on Thursdays.

Romi's Practice:

A massage therapy session with Romi begins with an initial assessment of your current state of physical health. Any past or present injuries and conditions can affect the type of treatment most relevant to your current physical and emotional state. Range of Motion testing and manual palpation give him the information he needs to properly treat each individual's specific condition. For some clients, a lighter, more relaxing massage is indicated, whereas others require deep tissue massage. As well, conditions for which massage is contraindicated can benefit by a gentle Reiki Healing session.
