What to Expect from your Massage

EXPECT TO FEEL COMPLETELY REJUVENATED

Customized Treatment Plan

With each massage appointment, a customized treatment plan is created during the consultation at the beginning of each visit that establishes your expectations for the appointment. Each of our massage therapists have a wide variety of techniques including deep tissue massage, relaxation massage, therapeutic massage and sports/injury massage to customize your healing experience. Do not feel like you have to pick one, communicate with your therapist about what you are looking for and together you can find the treatment for you. Our massage therapists can employ a range of techniques and approaches to assess and assist each individual's needs. We have conveniently broken up our massage services into categories to assist you below.

Extended Health Benefits

All of our registered massage therapists are fully licensed with the 2200-hour educational requirements of all major extended health benefit plans. We currently provide direct billing for most major extended health benefits insurance providers.   Just come in with your benefits card and let us get the payment applied while you enjoy your massage.

+ Late Cancelation Policy and Fees

  • Your appointment time is reserved just for you. A late cancellation or missed visit leaves a hole in the therapists’ day that could have been filled by another patient. As such, we require 24 hours notice for any cancellations or changes to your appointment. Clients who provide less than 24 hours notice, or miss appointments, authorize Wellness Within to charge their credit card on file for cancelled or missed appointments or overdue balances. Clients who provide less than 24 hours notice will be charged a cancellation fee of $20.00. Clients who do not provide notice and are a "No Show" will be subject to a fee of $40.00. Clients who frequently cancel without adequate notice will not be permitted to continue to schedule online without making prior payment arrangements. If you do late cancel and we do charge a fee, we will send an email receipt to the email provided above. As the massage therapist is on commission this fee will help make up for lost income by a late cancelation.

+ Late Arrive Policy

  • Incomplete intake forms or arriving after your appointment time may result in lost time from your treatment as we are unable to exceed that reserved time without affecting the next client session. Full-service fees will be charged even when sessions are shortened due to late arrival. Your insurance will only apply coverage for the amount of massage you received and not what you were scheduled for. Paying for the difference will be the responsibility of the client and not the insurance company.

HOT STONE MASSAGE

"Melt into relaxation and ultimate healing with comforting and deeply therapeutic hot stones"

The therapeutic properties of hot stones have long been used to bring lasting relief and relaxation to stressed bodies & minds. Our massage therapists use smooth, heated stones, either as an extension of their own hands, or by placing them on the body while they massage other parts of the body. The heat can be deeply relaxing and help warm up tight muscles so the therapist can work break through the tension with ease.

CUPPING MASSAGE

Cupping is a therapeutic technique that uses small glass or silicon cups as suction devices that are placed on the skin. The suction in the cups causes the skin and superficial muscle layers to be slightly pulled into the cup. Creating space between the layers of muscles decreasing tension and increasing blood flow for healing. Once applied onto the skin, the cups are either moved along meridian lines/muscle groups (gliding) or left in place for about ten minutes (stationary cupping).

Jade_stone_massage.jpg

JADE HOT STONE MASSAGE

Jade Stone Massage provides a more penetrating massage because of the shape, energetic properties, and the incorporation of both heated and cooled stones. At temperatures of 130°F and 32°F, the stones open and release tissues that are tight and knotted. This alternation of temperatures provides an internal workout, moving blood, lymph, and energy, leading the muscles to an increased energy state but a minor compromise on overall body relaxation.

PARAFFIN MASSAGE

Our paraffin therapeutic massage utilizes the high energy capacity of paraffin wax to infuse the body with a deep penetrating heat, increasing circulation, pain relief, stiffness while improving the effectiveness of your massage treatment. The Paraffin is painted on your back during heating the deep muscles as your massage therapist treats the rest of your body.

Massage Techniques

SOME BASICS TO ASSIST YOU COMMUNICATING YOUR WANTS AND NEEDS WITH THE THERAPIST

DEEP TISSUE MASSAGE

We will get to the root of your tension no matter how deep you've hidden it. Deep tissue massage aims to release chronic patterns of tension in the body, through specific deep pressure and slow strokes at specifc concentrated areas. The intent of the massage is to work on the layers of the body’s soft tissues and particularly the structure which covers and encases them – the fasci. This technique can be corrective and is best suited for chronic issues. Deep massage techniques can utilize the knuckles, fists, elbows, and forearms but our massage therapists will always respect your pain tolerance levels, and will work with you to find a level of pressure that is comfortable for you. After a massage with our skilled therapists, you will feel more relaxed and looser than you have in years!

PREGNANCY MASSAGE

Prenatal massage shares many of the goals of regular massage ­– to relax tense muscles, ease sore spots, improve circulation and mobility, and just make you feel good. But it's also tailored specifically to the needs of pregnant women and their changing bodies, and our massage therapists who are trained in prenatal massage adjust their techniques accordingly. The mother's body is properly positioned and supported during the massage by using pillows, massage bolsters and padding to allow for enhanced comfort and to create the ideal therapeutic massage position.

RELAXATION MASSAGE

Rediscover the feeling of being free and completely letting go. Allow our massage therapists to find that tranquil spot while focusing on relieving muscle tension and assisting in the removal of toxins from your system. By completely allowing yourself to relax, a relaxation massage provides assist in the reduction of muscle pain, migraine headaches, joint pain, overused or sore muscles, arthritis, Fibromyalgia, and muscle injuries. Relaxation massage can also help with a better night sleep and to speed the recovery times from mild illnesses.

SPORTS MASSAGE

We will turn your down time into recovery and improvement time, quickly. Sports massage is used to boost performance to aid athletes in training, both before and after a competition. Pre-event treatment is designed to help athletes prevent injury, increase performance, and increase endurance. Post-event massage relieves pain, prevents stiffness, and decreases recovery time. Peak performance is easily acheived when attention is paid to your body. Help your body to function optimally by removing your body's restrictions.

RAPID MASSAGE

(Releases, Activation, and Perfusion Integrated Dynamics) is a specialized hands-on massage therapy technique designed to target deep layers of tissue, particularly the periosteum - the layer surrounding bones rich in sensory nerve endings. By accessing this neurobiological system, RAPID stimulates both the central and autonomic nervous systems, reducing tissue tension, increasing blood flow, and promoting deep healing. This innovative approach is highly effective in addressing complex musculoskeletal issues such as sciatica, migraines, and arthritis, offering clients a path to lasting relief and improved wellness.

 

Massage Frequently Asked Questions

 
 
 

+ What type of massage or how much pressure should I get?

  • The amount of pressure is a personal preference and with over 20+ massage therapists, we can cater to all preferences.
  • A relaxation massage is a typical spa massage with a focus on de-stressing. Treatments are based off of more traditional Swedish techniques, such as kneading, with light to medium pressure. Don't feel bad if you fall asleep as thats a sign of a good relaxation massage. Look for therapists with a pressure preference below 5 in our therapist bios.
  • Therapeutic massages use more clinical techniques to help address chronic health issues. Feel free to come in to your appointment with specific issues in mind and let the therapist know about your health concerns prior to the start. Temporary relief can often be experienced after the first visit but long term/permanent results will often require regular visists and home care.

+ How early should I arrive for my first massage appointment?

  • Arrive at least 15 minutes prior to your first appointment so you can get settled and complete the medical health history form.

+ To what level do I undress to, for my massage appointment?

  • Our therapists will work with you at the level you feel most comfortable. Most individuals undress to the level of their under-garments as that provides the most area for the massage therapist while also adding that extra level of privacy.

+ How long of a Massage Appointment should I book?

  • If you are looking for a full body massage, the minimum amount of time that we recommend is a 60min massage. Most therapsits can cover all the major areas of the body in this time but a 90 minute massage will give the therapist more time to give a thorough massage of the entire body. A 30min massage is typically booked if there is one major area of concern and a 45min massage is best if there are only a couple of areas that you want the therapist to focus on.

+ How can I pay for my massage?

  • We accept all major forms of payment including Cash, Debit, Mastercard & Visa. We do not currently accept cheques

+ Do I need a Doctor's referral for my massage?

  • I doctor's referral is not required for a massage but a few extended health insurance companies due require one for their insurnace benefits. Please check this with your personal insurance company prior to coming in for an appointment.

+ How much will my massage benefits cover?

  • Every insurance benefit plan is different. It is best to check with your insurance provider for your specific plan options. We can run a pre-approval before you book if you would like.
