Registered Massage Therapy 
The purpose of massage therapy is to prevent, develop, maintain, rehabilitate or augment physical function or relieve pain (Massage Therapy Act, 1991). Massage Therapy is recognized as one of the oldest methods of healing, with references in medical texts nearly 4,000 years old. It is a widely accepted and effective treatment for reducing stress, decreasing muscle pain and stiffness, and for aiding in rehabilitation and postural realignment.
Massage therapists use a variety of techniques that, along with prescribed client self care, help to facilitate improved health and well being.

PRE-NATAL and PERI-NATAL Massage are an important part of pregnancy self-care.  We do all pre-natal massages on BodyCushion system, although we an do side-line if requested.  All MassageWorks therapists are trained in pre-natal massage.  We also do infant massage.

Chiropractic Treatments

Doctors of chiropractic, called ‘chiropractors’ are spine, muscle, joint and related nervous system experts. Every chiropractor receives at least seven years of post-secondary academic and clinical education. They are trained in how to evaluate, diagnose, recommend and deliver a treatment plan that manages issues within these systems, according to your preferences. A chiropractor’s education also includes courses in radiology, pain management, prescribed exercise and rehabilitation, among others.

Treatments start with an assessment and evaluation appointment which is longer and more in depth than repeat visits.  Repeat visits are used to treat the conditions discovered at the initial assessment.  If you have a different complaint, you may require a re-assessment appointment before treatment can continue.

Acupuncture 
MassageWorks! offers certified acupuncture by RMT at both locations. Registered Acupuncture is only available at the Max Becker location.  Acupuncture is the practice of inserting very fine needles into the body to stimulate the meridians in the body's energetic system. Different points along the meridians are stimulated to balance the flow of energy (Qi) in the body promoting health & well-being. Practitioners may also use heat, pressure (Acupressure), friction, suction (see Cupping), or impulses of electromagnetic energy to stimulate these points.
 
We offer acupuncture by RMT (Book a massage with Jacqui at Williamsburg or Michele at Fairway & Lackner! You can add a note that you would like to have acupuncture in your treatment)  We also offer TCM Registered Acupuncture by Yuanhua Liu.  Please be specific as to what type you want to book.
