Massage on Huron Street Styles of Massage - Sports - Remedial

Swedish Massage is holistic and therapeutic in that it involves the manipulation of the soft tissue structures of the body to alleviate pain, discomfort, muscle spasm and stress. Its main purpose is to relax and restore you, but it can also be stepped up to be firming and toning and invigorating because treatment involves percussive tapotement, and wringing & rolling movements. The treatment is carried out in a set sequence of strokes from top to toe. Gillian is available 7 days at short notice and can do visiting massage at $90 for one hour.

Sports Massage therapy is specifically tailored to relieve sporting injuries or over-exertion due to exercise. It involves postural assessment, deep tissue pressure point and neuromuscular techniques, myofascial release. This helps an athlete to recover more quickly from injury or rigorous training sessions. In addition, it can help you get the most out of your rest times, improve performance on and off the field, plus allow you to maximize the benefits of each and every training session.
Sports Massage works deep to eliminate toxins embedded in muscle fibres, remove adhesions, and minimize scar tissue build-up. Advance notice is required for this treatment with Justin, and Marie is available certain hours 7 days per week.

Aromatherapy is known to help ease a wide assortment of ailments; easing aches, pains, and injuries, reducing stress, relieving depression and anxiety, relaxing, uplifting, sedating or stimulating, restoring both physical and emotional wellbeing.

Some commonly used Aromatherapy oils include:

Ylang Ylang: antidepressant and aphrodisiac; useful to uplift the mood and unwind stress
Eucalyptus: for congestion/colds/aching muscles
Frankincense: for calming emotions and nightmares
Geranium: for menopausal problems & PMS
Cypress and Geranium: for toning and firming

Peppermint: for quick energy and relieving headache
Sandalwood: for relaxation, digestive troubles (esp. due to tension), dry skin
Tea Tree: a strong disinfectant, anti-bacterial, and anti-fungal

More about Aromatherapy: When essential oils are applied to the skin, their small aromatic molecules are absorbed through skin into the bloodstream and then carried in the blood to different parts of the body. When essential oils are inhaled, the small molecules are transmitted via the olfactory system to the limbic area in the brain: the area that is connected to the hormonal and nervous systems as well as the emotions.
