Experience Relief with Our Massage Therapy Options
Expert Techniques for Better Well-Being and Relaxation
Our massage services provide different techniques to suit every person. Each massage is designed to target key problem areas, ease tension, and promote well-being.
Therapeutic Massage
Focused on healing and recovery, this massage targets problem areas with a mix of techniques to relieve pain and improve mobility. It’s ideal for those with chronic pain or recovering from injury. By combining muscle manipulation and targeted pressure, this massage offers deep relief for long-term issues and immediate discomfort alike.
Swedish/Relaxation Massage
A gentle, soothing experience that reduces stress, eases tension, and promotes overall relaxation. This full-body massage uses light to medium pressure to help you unwind completely. It’s perfect for anyone who needs to slow down, clear their mind, and restore their sense of calm.
Hot Stone Massage
Heated stones are placed on key areas of your body, soothing muscles and promoting deep relaxation. The warmth from the stones helps increase circulation and relax muscles faster than with traditional massage techniques alone. This method is especially helpful for those dealing with chronic pain or stress as it offers deeper muscle relaxation in a shorter time.
Prenatal Massage
Designed for expecting mothers, this gentle therapy focuses on reducing pregnancy discomfort while supporting overall relaxation. Our prenatal massages help reduce swelling, relieve lower back pain, and improve sleep. The gentle strokes are designed to be safe and comfortable for both mother and baby, allowing pregnant women to relax while easing the discomforts of pregnancy.
Sports Massage
Ideal for athletes, this massage helps improve flexibility, prevents injury, and speeds up recovery after intense physical activity. Sports massages target specific muscle groups that are overused in athletic activities, helping athletes maintain peak performance while reducing their risk of injury. Whether you’re recovering from a workout or preparing for a big event, this massage keeps you in top shape.
Myofascial Cupping Massage
A specialized technique using suction cups to loosen tight muscles and improve circulation. This method reduces tension by creating space between muscles and connective tissue, helping to relieve long-held tension and discomfort. It’s great for increasing mobility and breaking up stubborn knots.
Reflexology
Focused on the feet, this massage uses pressure points that correspond to different areas of the body. Reflexology can reduce tension throughout the entire body, improve circulation, and restore natural balance by stimulating specific zones on the feet. It’s a powerful yet non-invasive way to experience whole-body wellness.
Youth Massage
A gentle form of therapy tailored to children, youth massage helps improve sleep, ease growing pains, and reduce anxiety. It’s designed to support both physical and emotional development in a safe and soothing environment. Youth massage can benefit children dealing with stress, hyperactivity, or physical discomfort, offering a calming experience that encourages healthy growth and emotional well-being.
How to Prepare for Your Massage Session
Simple Steps to Ensure a Smooth, Relaxing Experience
Getting ready for a massage doesn’t have to be complicated. At The Self Centre, we make the process easy and comfortable. Preparing for your session is all about setting yourself up for maximum relaxation and relief. Here’s what you need to know to ensure you’re prepared and relaxed before your appointment.
Hydrate Well
Drinking water before and after your massage helps your muscles stay hydrated and assists in flushing out toxins. Massages help stimulate blood circulation and loosen up muscles, and drinking water aids this process by keeping everything moving smoothly. Staying hydrated also helps prevent any soreness after your session, ensuring you feel your best.
Wear Comfortable Clothing
Choose loose-fitting, comfortable clothes to wear to and from your appointment for an easy transition in and out of relaxation. Tight or uncomfortable clothing can affect how relaxed you feel during your session, so it’s best to wear something that allows you to move freely. After all, relaxation begins before you even hit the massage table.
Arrive Early
Arriving early gives you time to relax and mentally prepare for your session, making sure your experience is stress-free from start to finish. This allows you a few moments to breathe, clear your mind, and fully immerse yourself in the massage experience, so you can leave feeling completely refreshed.
Communicate Your Needs
Let your therapist know any specific areas that need extra attention or if you’re experiencing any discomfort during the session. Clear communication helps ensure you get the most out of your massage, targeting the areas that matter most to you. Don’t hesitate to ask for adjustments during your session; it’s your time to feel your best.
Post-Session Stretching
After your massage, light stretching can help maintain the benefits of the massage and keep your muscles feeling limber. Stretching helps your muscles stay flexible, reducing the likelihood of stiffness after your session. It’s a simple step that extends the relaxation and relief you’ll feel long after the massage is over.
