New to massage
Your body is designed to thrive.
It talks when it isn't.
Most people book a massage because something has been nagging at them for a while — a shoulder, a lower back, a stress load that stopped being temporary. That's the right reason to come.
What brings people to us
What people usually bring us.
Our therapists work most often with these — and if something here sounds like your week, you're in the right place.
-
Back and neck pain
The ache you've started planning your day around.
-
Sciatica
That line of pain down the leg that turns sitting into a negotiation.
-
Stress, anxiety, and burnout
Running on adrenaline so long you've forgotten what rested feels like.
-
Sports injuries and recovery
Wanting to train again without paying for it for three days.
-
Chronic pain
Being told the scans look fine while you still hurt.
-
Healthy aging, mobility, and wellness
Wanting the next twenty years to feel like the last twenty.
Not sure whether we're the right fit? That's what the first conversation is for — and if we can't help, we'll say so and point you somewhere that can.
What to expect
A conversation first. Then hands on.
Your therapist starts by talking through your health history, the areas that are bothering you, and what you want out of the session. They may briefly check your posture, range of motion and muscle tension so the work is tailored rather than generic.
From there they'll use a mix of strokes, pressure levels and techniques to address the tension you came in with — checking in regularly so the pressure stays where you want it.
Afterwards, you'll get a treatment plan built around your needs, an explanation of which techniques were used and why, and any lifestyle recommendations that would help it hold.
Techniques we work with
- Fascia work
- Positional trigger point release
- Swedish
- Deep tissue
What massage helps with
- Relieve pain, tension, stress and stiffness
- Improve mood and sleep
- Increase motion and flexibility
- Improve blood and lymph flow
- Reduce inflammation, scar tissue, adhesions and spasms
What makes this different
This isn't a spa massage.
Our massage therapists work alongside the rest of the practice to get at the root cause of your symptoms, not just the surface of them. The treatment plan is built to benefit your healing potential, and it sits alongside the other work we do rather than separately from it.
Massage and acupuncture together honour your body and help it remember how to function naturally again.
From $110 per session with our memberships, or $160 for longer sessions. Ask the front desk about membership plans.

Book your visit
A first visit takes one conversation.
We'll talk through what you're feeling, what you've tried, and which modality fits. New patients are welcome.
