Massage Therapy

What is Massage Therapy?

Massage therapy is a hands-on treatment that involves the manipulation of soft tissues — muscles, tendons, ligaments, and fascia — to promote healing, relaxation, and overall physical wellness.

At Focus Physiotherapy, our Registered Massage Therapists (RMTs) work collaboratively with our physiotherapists to create integrated care plans tailored to your needs. Whether you’re managing pain, recovering from injury, or seeking stress relief, massage therapy can play a key role in restoring balance to your body.

Types of Massage We Offer

Therapeutic / Deep Tissue Massage

Targets deeper layers of muscles and connective tissues to relieve chronic tension, adhesions, and postural imbalances. Ideal for those dealing with persistent pain, stiffness, or repetitive strain injuries.

Relaxation Massage

A soothing, full-body massage that promotes deep relaxation, reduces stress, and improves circulation. Perfect for anyone looking to unwind and restore balance.

Sports Massage

Designed for athletes and active individuals to enhance performance, prevent injuries, and speed up recovery. Focuses on muscle groups used in specific sports or physical activities.

Prenatal Massage

A safe, specialized massage for expectant mothers that helps reduce back pain, swelling, and fatigue while promoting relaxation and circulation during pregnancy.

Postnatal Massage

Tailored to support recovery after childbirth, this massage helps restore muscle tone, relieve tension from feeding or carrying the baby, and promote overall healing and relaxation.

Myofascial Release

A gentle technique targeting the fascia — the connective tissue surrounding muscles — to release restrictions and improve movement after injury, surgery, or repetitive strain.

Trigger Point Therapy

Focuses on specific “knots” or hyperirritable spots in muscles that can cause referred pain. Helps relieve chronic discomfort and restore mobility.

Cupping Therapy

This ancient technique uses suction cups to increase blood flow, reduce muscle tension, and encourage healing. Cupping can complement massage by releasing deep-seated tension and improving tissue health.

Hot Stone Massage

Smooth, heated stones are placed on key points of the body and used during massage to melt away tension, ease muscle stiffness, and promote deep relaxation through heat therapy.

Lymphatic Drainage Massage

A gentle, rhythmic technique that stimulates the lymphatic system to help reduce swelling, detoxify the body, and support immune health — often used after surgery or injury.

Swedish Massage

A classic, flowing massage using long, gliding strokes to promote relaxation, improve circulation, and ease minor aches and pains — perfect for those new to massage therapy.
