At Natura Wellness Clinic, Massage therapy is performed only by registered professionals. 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.
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.
