Our licensed massage therapists in Winnipeg have specialized training in the safe administration of manual manipulation of soft tissues (muscles, connective tissue, ligaments, and tendons) thus promoting well-being and relaxation.
Your visit will start with a brief assessment and history, which will help your Clinician adapt the massage to your specific needs. You can choose the duration of your treatment from 30, 45, 60 or 90 minute massages.
We provide the following types of massage therapy at our Winnipeg physiotherapy clinic here at Fit4Life Physiotherapy:
Winnipeg Massage Services
Deep Tissue Massage
This type of massage is designed to release chronic muscle tension. The target tissue being the deepest layers of the muscle, tendons and fascia (the protective layer that surrounds muscles, joints, and bones).
Relaxation Massage
This type of massage is designed to promote relaxation, as well as increase circulation in the body. The therapist will use smooth, gliding movements to help you relax. As well as, transfer at a slower pace with lighter pressure.
Therapeutic Massage
This type of massage is designed to help an individual with any type of dysfunction addressing specific soft tissue areas to alleviate tightness and/or pain. Thus loosening muscles, improving flexibility, and improving muscle tone. This type of massage can be relaxing at times but relaxation is not the goal. The pressure inflicted is harder and the goal is to reduce muscle tension and improve musculoskeletal symptoms.
Prenatal Massage
This type of massage focuses on reducing the stress and pain often associated with pregnancy. Many of the common physical distresses associated with pregnancy include backaches, leg cramps, constipation, and swelling. Ensure you communicate the symptoms you are experiencing with your Clinician for maximal relief from treatment.
Positioning is carefully planned during the treatment to assist in pain reduction and consideration of your growing baby. You may lay on side on your side if you wish, however, we offer an exceptionally comfortable treatment table specially designed for our expectant mothers to be able to lay onto their stomach with large spacings for your growing belly and breast tissue.
Hot Stone Massage
Our basalt stones are in various shapes and sizes, polished smooth and exceptionally retain heat. They are heated in a professional heater until they are within a precise temperature range of approximately 65-70 degrees Celsius.
The hot stone is placed in the palm of your skilled Massage therapist‘s hand while they target the stiff and sore musculature throughout your body.
Most individuals find the warmth of the hot stones to be soothing and relaxing. Hot stone massage is a good Massage technique to choose for those who have muscle tension but prefer a lighter massage. The warmth relaxes tight musculature, allowing the therapist to release the muscles using a softer pressure.
Lymphatic Drainage Massage
