Our professionals can respond to many different requests by offering the following massage therapy services:
Kinesitherapy
Kinesitherapy is a type of massage with specific movements.The therapist uses manipulations throughout the treatment, employing a combination of massage, specific movements, and stretching to help relieve muscle tension.This is a movement therapy that aims to relieve muscle or joint pain and restore normal movement to the affected part of the body.
Therapeutic massage
This technique aims to cure many illnesses, relieve chronic and / or temporary pain and reduce stress. This technique is effective against muscle inflammation and has the ability to rebalance the digestive and lymphatic systems. It is important to understand that, to successfully treat the affected areas, this type of treatment can sometimes be painful. The therapist may recommend more than one treatment to relieve accumulated tension. The client can feel benefits in the subsequent days.
Manual lymphatic drainage
A gentle, light massage technique, similar to the effect of a wave, involves manipulating lymph nodes and drainage. The goal is to stimulate the circulation of lymph and detoxify the body while strengthening the immune system. Manual lymphatic drainage is carried out with the fingers and palms of the hands all over the body following the direction of lymphatic circulation. he massage, aimed at complete lymphatic drainage, is a 90-minute session. It may take a few sessions before there are any apparent results.
Suction cups
Cupping massage is performed using dry containers in which a vacuum is created to cause physiological and mechanical changes inside a structure. This treatment helps to reduce pain, increase local circulation, increase tissue oxygenation and stretch or mobilize tissues. The marks left on the body following cupping treatments are normal and may be the result of broken blood capillaries, which will regenerate in a few days to weeks.
Lomi lomi
A massage inspired by the Hawaiian tradition that is done with the hands, fists and primarily the forearms. This technique is recommended for muscle atrophy and sprains. It’s excellent for combating fatigue, stress, cellulite, chronic constipation, poor blood and lymphatic circulation, nervous tension, neuralgia, as well as joint and muscle stiffness. In addition, lomi lomi massage helps eliminate toxins while promoting relaxation and vital energy.
Foot reflexology
Foot reflexology is a method used to activate the body’s self-healing process by manually stimulating an area of the foot connected to an organ or part of the body by using pressure. The concept of foot reflexology is that the foot is an accurate representation of the human body. This method can relieve the foot and therefore the organ or part of the body targeted by the therapist. Foot reflexology is recommended for people suffering from pain or chronic diseases (diabetes, multiple sclerosis, osteoarthritis, and severe arthritis) and reduces anxiety, stress, symptoms related to ADD and ADHD, in addition to reducing certain spinal pain (lumbar pain, neck pain, etc.).
In addition to these massages offered in Repentigny and throughout the region, Physio-Ostéo Globalité offers Thai massage, massage for pregnant women and relaxation massage.
