The therapeutic benefits
of massage therapy
|
|
A peaceful look, a feeling of relaxation, one last breath and the stress of the day evaporates...we're sure you've just enjoyed a massage!
Whether you're an athlete, an office worker or a stay-at-home parent, a massage is an easy and accessible way to take care of your mind and body.
What are the benefits of a massage?
|
|
|
Muscle relaxation
Massage therapy can help relieve musculo-articular pain and tension such as back, neck and shoulder pain. Some massage techniques can even help reduce the symptoms of chronic pain, such as arthritis and firbromylagia.

|
|
|
Soothing stress and anxiety
Rich in physical as well as psychological benefits, massage therapy also has an impact on mental health, whether by reducing the effects of stress and anxiety on the body or improving the quality of your sleep.

Prevention and recovery
This therapy is as effective in preventing muscular and joint problems as it is in recovering from muscular injuries (cramps or muscle spasms, strains, tears, etc.) It also promotes health and the attenuation of muscular adhesions and scar tissue following surgery, for example.

Reflexology is a relaxing treatment derived from Traditional Chinese Medicine, in which we use massage and pressure on the tops and soles of the feet to identify parts of the body or organs in energy deficiency.
These pressures and massage movements help to rebalance and revitalize energy. The first session is preceded by a health assessment to understand any blockages. The treatment ends with a relaxing massage of the lower legs, from the knees to the ankles.

Testimonials of our clients

« Great place to get treated, the front staff is welcoming and very kind and the physical therapists are all very competent. I'm getting treated by Marie-Andrée and although my injury was pretty rough and uncommon, she knows exactly what to do and what to say to get me back on track, 10/10 would recommend going there. »
