Massage therapy

Relaxation massage

Massage therapy advocates a holistic approach where the physical, psychological and cultural experience of the individual is taken into account. Its goal is to relieve and treat discomforts that can affect the body. This type of massage is suitable for everyone, from the youngest children to seniors.

Relaxation massage promotes the general balance of the system, decreases stress levels and promotes restful sleep.

Orthotherapy

Orthotherapy, on the other hand, relieves muscle pain using therapeutic movements.

We also offer specialized massages, including:

• hot stone massage
• therapeutic massage
• veterans services

Therapeutic massage

Therapeutic massage consists of a range of pressures and manipulations exerted on the surface of the skin. These pressures stimulate a large number of painful elements or internal dysfunctions. Therapeutic massage allows, among other things, to release endorphins, activate blood and lymphatic circulation, improve intestinal transit, soothe muscle pain, strengthen the immune system and relieve the effects of daily stress.

The benefits

A therapeutic massage on a regular basis acts on the entire organism. It allows in particular to:

• treat the skin surface

• strengthen joints
• optimize blood microcirculation
• regulate the functioning of the lymphatic system, the nervous system and the digestive system
• improve kidney and heart function
