OUR SERVICES
DEEP TISSUE MASSAGE
Deep tissue massage uses mainly advanced non-swedish massage techniques to address trigger points and joint mobility. The pressure may be more intense.
SWEDISH MASSAGE
Swedish massage is often referred to as the “relaxing massage.” Your Massage Haven Therapist will use light to firm pressure on a range of long, smooth strokes, with kneading and friction techniques on the more superficial layers of the muscles, combined with active and passive movements of the joints.
SPORTS MASSAGE
Sports massage is a form of bodywork geared toward participants in athletics. It is used to help prevent injuries, to prepare the body for athletic activity and maintain it in optimal condition, and to help athletes recover from workouts and injuries.
Sports massage can be characterized two ways: pre-activity and post-activity massage. Pre-activity uses dynamic stretching to allow the connective tissue to work through a full range of motion, thereby reducing possible injury. Post-activity massage focuses on recovering the muscle tissue that may have been impacted during a particular sport. It involves long strokes to flush out the toxins that causes soreness in the muscles and joints.
PRENATAL MASSAGE
Prenatal massage is a collection of traditional techniques used to reduce pregnancy discomfort, facilitate labor and help with anxiety and stress during pregnancy. Your Registered Massage Therapist receives advanced education in the anatomy, physiology and complications related to pregnancy. At Massage Haven, prenatal massages are done only by certified therapists who have received special training. Before receiving a massage, pregnant women are advised to speak with their doctors to learn if massage is recommended.
And after Baby's arrival, massage can help expedite recovery and provide relief from the challenges of early motherhood.
CUPPING
This remarkable therapy utilizes negative pressure, rather than tissue compression, for superior results in a wide array of bodywork techniques. Suction cup therapy is a traditional, time-honoured treatment that remains favoured by millions of people worldwide because it's safe, comfortable, and produces remarkable results.
At Massage Haven, we only use silicone cups, therefore it is safer than glass cupping (no heat involved) and is also see through, so we can monitor the effectiveness of the cups.
HOT STONES
Intensify the effectiveness of your massage with this modality; relieve stress and tension using the thermotherapeutic effects of the hot stones by integrating the stones into your massage by applying them dynamic or static.
