Heather and Alison are **currently only accepting new claims from their existing clientele**. If you have received massage therapy from Heather in the past and have recently found yourself in a car accident, go ahead and book a 'follow up' 60 minute ICBC treatment and bring your claim number to your next appointment. Same goes with Alison; if you've received treatment from her and have been in an accident, you can go ahead and book a 'follow up' 60 minute ICBC treatment with her.

Want to improve your golf swing? Walk further or faster, more comfortably? Prevent or recover from an injury? Sleep better and wake up less stiff and sore? Improve your balance and avoid falls? Have an easier time getting up off the floor, or down to the floor to play with your grandkids?

The principles of Yoga therapy can be applied to any activity you enjoy - it's not Yoga poses like you see it on the covers of magazines or group classes in your community.

In these sessions, you will explore where you are moving well and where you are not. You will improve your coordination and mobility by refining how your brain talks to and commands the different areas of your body. You will have more variety of movement available to you which will keep your body more adaptable to the unexpected demands life throws as us every day.

And of course... If there is a particular yoga posture or two that you're wanting to feel more comfortable in or simply be able to do at all, we can definitely work on that!

These sessions are not billable to insurance as they are not massage therapy.

In these appointments, we will compliment the hands-on treatment with the exploration of movement, rest and breath work.

The gentle, yoga-influenced movement provides valuable information about muscle tension, compensation patterns and gripping occurring in your body, how well your joints are moving through their ranges, and what kinds of positions and actions trigger your symptoms. This informs your treatment plan.

Through massage therapy technique - and movement as well - you will have relief from your symptoms and better ease of movement.

The beautiful byproduct of this approach is you will leave having experienced and integrated exactly what you can do at home to further your treatment plan along, provide yourself with relief as needed, and become less dependant on therapies provided by professionals.

This collaborative approach to your care is both empowering and transformative, helping you regain control over your quality of life.

A massage therapist’s scope of practice includes assessment, treatment and homecare - these appointments simply put a larger than normal emphasis on patient education and self management strategies and are intended for individuals who really want to get to the bottom of their symptoms as much as possible.

Sometimes, simply massaging the outside of the jaw doesn't cut it for muscular pain, clicking, limited range of motion, or discomfort with chewing or talking - And maybe you've already discovered this! Using non-latex gloves, Alison and Heather can target crucial muscles that can only be reached from inside the mouth.

It may sound a bit odd, and it's certainly not what most people picture when they think of a massage, but many folks get a lot of relief (finally!) from this treatment approach for their TMJ woes.

Don't worry - the intra oral treatment doesn't take up most of your appointment time. Many people like to include massage for the face and scalp, neck, upper shoulders and upper back since these structures are so close to their problem area!
