Deep Tissue Therapeutic Massage in South Edmonton and West Edmonton

Therapeutic Massage Therapy

60 Minute $95 | 75 Minute $120 | 90 Minute $135

Deep tissue massage is designed to penetrate deeper muscles or to break down scar tissue. Deep tissue massage does not necessarily require deeper or stronger pressure. Lighter pressure and movement may be the most effective way to alleviate and improve existing conditions. It might be used with trigger points and mild pain may be experienced. 
By relaxing, stretching and lengthening muscles surrounding tissue, circulation is improved, internal muscle scar tissue is broken down, fascia is released, and your body’s natural healing process begins providing pain relief.
Pressure may be a client preference.  Please communicate with your Alberta Momentum Registered Massage Therapist throughout your massage treatment to ensure your comfort level. Your therapist should ask you how the pressure is during your treatment.
Neuromuscular Therapy can alleviate minor strains and chronic muscular pain and discomfort. This type of therapy is targeted to support tissues and muscles to return to their function. It uses specific, targeted soft tissue treatment, flexibility stretching and self care to address muscular aches and pains. The therapist addresses postural and muscular imbalances, nerve entrapment, reduced blood flow to an area of the body and muscular trigger points which may develop in injured muscles. Trigger points can cause chronic pain at the site as well as referred pain to other areas of the body.

“Pregnancy massage” is a term for massage during or after pregnancy (prenatal and postnatal massage).

Prenatal pregnancy massage may promote relaxation, sleep, a feeling of wellness, and a decrease discomfort. Changes in ligaments and pressures on muscles may lead to strain or discomfort in the back, hips, shoulders, and feet. During the later stages of pregnancy, therapists use specially designed pillows (bolsters) to help you lay comfortably on your side during your massage.

Postnatalmassage focuses on relaxation and strengthening of the muscles and tissues, with modifications until 6 to 8 weeks after delivery, and in the side lying position. Circulation, wellbeing and discomfort may be improved.  

Relaxation massage is part of an integrated therapeutic massage ideal for the stress, aches and pains of everyday life. Swedish Massage is based on Western concepts of anatomy and physiology as opposed to energy work. It can be slow and gentle, or vigorous and bracing, depending on what the therapist wants to achieve. It is great for people who want to unwind and release stress. The person releases endorphins which can connect and soothe both the body and mind.
 
Relaxation massage promotes quality sleep, reduces emotional and physical stress, and is a great way to create a quiet and reviving experience for you in the middle or end of a busy work week.

One of the world’s most ancient forms of healing therapy, Traditional Thai Massage came out of the teachings of Ayurvedic medicine during the time of Buddha. Over 2,500 years later, Thai Massage remains rooted in these ancient teachings and offers a unique and effective method of relaxation and enhanced energy flow. There are several approaches to Thai Massage. The intent is to help promote relaxation and the natural movement of energy throughout your body using a combination of traditional Thai massage, compression techniques, and energy work along “Sen” energy lines.

Note: Thai Table Massage is a fully clothed form of massage. Oil is not used. Please wear comfortable, loose fitting or stretchy clothes that will allow a full range of motion for you. Dress like you would for a Yoga class or trip to the gym.

Hot Stone Massage Therapy in South Edmonton and West Edmonton

Specialty Massage Therapy

60 Minute $120 | 75 Minute $140 | 90 Minute $150

In a Hot Stone Massage, the therapist uses smooth, heated stones as an extension of their own hands, or by placing the pure basalt stones on the body while massaging other areas. The heat is deeply relaxing and helps to warm up tight muscles so the therapist can work at a deeper tissue level. Natural basalt or river stones have excellent heat retention. Deeply heating muscles and ligaments during treatment, your therapist will be able to achieve a soothing and beneficial massage, combining elements of relaxation and deep tissue. Hot Stone Massage is a favourite during cold or rainy day weather, as a gift, and for any client who enjoys the even, calming warmth of this delightful treatment.
 
Jade Stone Massage is a specialty treatment in which the therapist uses both hot and chilled jade stones to assist in therapeutic treatments. The chilled stones are used sparingly in a treatment, often for acute conditions. The heated stones allow the therapist to work deeper into muscle layers and the chilled stones can help to treat inflammation. Jade stones are mined, cut, shaped and polished into specific shapes that allow the therapist to use more therapeutic techniques than a traditional hot stone massage would allow. Jade itself has been said to have healing properties that help to balance the body. The stone is made of calcium, magnesium, and iron which allows the stone to hold a hot and cool temperature equally well.

In Hot Bamboo/Rattan Massage, hollow bamboo sticks of different lengths and diameters are used. Larger bamboo sticks glide and roll on larger muscles. Shorter, thinner stick are used on tension or trigger points. Even smaller sticks may be used on hands and feet. Pressure may be gentle or deeper, depending on client needs. Bamboo may be combined with other methods. Muscle tension may be released, lymphatic drainage improved, and fascia released. For many therapists, the bamboo is an extension of their hands and they feel energized in providing the massage.

Myofascial Cupping creates a negative pressure or suction through use of a plastic or glass cup. The tissues underneath the skin, including the fascia, are pulled up close to the skin. They are separated and stretched.
 
The therapist may glide a cup over a muscle or place it on a trigger point for a short time.
 
Light or dark red marks may appear. They will disappear in 5 to 10 days.
 
It is often incorporated into other massage therapies including trigger point release and injury rehabilitation.
Thai herbal compress is a great alternative to deep tissue massage and leaves you intensively relaxed and energized. It involves a massage with a herbal compress ball infused with herbs such as eucalyptus, turmeric, ginger, jasmine, and lemongrass. The herbs are steamed prior and during treatment to have deep moist heat for optimal relaxation of muscles and joints.
 
Thai herbal compress massage is known for its healing properties, and stimulating effects. Some benefits include:
  • improved circulation
  • relieve muscle tenderness
  • ease arthritis or fibromyalgia pain
  • reduce stress and anxiety, reduce muscle spasm and tone
  • cleanse and heal skin.

The combination of herbal compress with Swedish relaxation massage just might leave you feeling incredible!

A 30-minute Orthopaedic Assessment is an option for clients on their initial or follow up visit. This is recommended for those looking to understand more about their own postural/muscle imbalances, contributing factors to their chief complaint, and to develop a fast and effective treatment plan.

A lymphatic drainage massage is done in a specific rhythm and direction to increase flow of the lymphatic system. The massage therapist uses light pressure and long gently rhythmic strokes on the skin. They may also use circular and scooping motions. The movements follow the direction of the structure of the lymphatic system to increase its flow through its channels.
