Why People Choose Massage Therapy

Many of our clients come to us for pain relief — tight shoulders, low back tension, or nagging injuries that haven’t resolved with rest. Others are recovering from motor vehicle accidents, workplace injuries, or surgery. Some people just need to take a break and reset their nervous system. Please note: for WCB and SGI claims we only provide chiropractic and physiotherapy treatment.

Massage therapy supports circulation, reduces inflammation, improves flexibility, and promotes faster healing — both physically and mentally. Our RMTs tailor every session to your needs, combining clinical expertise with calming, hands-on care.

Types of Massage We Offer

We offer a wide range of massage therapy techniques at our Saskatoon clinic. Here’s what you can expect:

Swedish Massage

This classic, flowing style of massage uses long, gliding strokes to calm the nervous system, improve circulation, and ease muscle tension. Ideal for general stress relief and relaxation.

Deep Tissue Massage

Deep tissue targets tension held in the deeper layers of muscle and fascia. It’s commonly used for chronic pain, postural imbalances, or injuries from sports and repetitive strain. Pressure is applied slowly and intentionally to release tight, stubborn areas.

Trigger Point Therapy

This technique focuses on releasing “knots” or hyper-irritable spots within muscles that refer pain elsewhere in the body. Trigger point therapy can be effective for tension headaches, neck pain, and upper back tightness.

Lymphatic Drainage Massage

A gentle, rhythmic style of massage that stimulates the lymphatic system to reduce swelling, support detoxification, and improve immune function. Often recommended for post-surgical recovery, chronic inflammation, or lymphedema.

Relaxation Massage

A calming, restorative experience designed to reset your body and mind. Our RMTs use soothing techniques, warm oils, and a peaceful environment to help you unwind and restore your nervous system.

If you’re unsure which massage is right for you, your therapist will guide you based on your symptoms, goals, and preferences.

What to Expect for a Massage

When you arrive for your first massage, we’ll start by discussing your health history, current concerns, and any preferences you may have for pressure or technique. Every massage is customized, no routine scripts or “one-size-fits-all” sessions.

Whether you’re dealing with low back pain from sitting all day, tension headaches from stress, or muscle soreness from working out, your RMT will create a treatment plan that’s aligned with your lifestyle.

We also welcome walk-ins and same-day bookings when available, and we make space for ongoing care plans when needed.
