Swedish Massage
Swedish massage is the basis of regulated massage therapy. It is the manipulation of soft tissue to decrease hyper tonicity or muscle tension. The treatment also improves local blood circulation, decreases scar tissue and adhesions and can improve flexibility. RMT's use Swedish massage for many conditions such as: repetitive strain, whiplash, carpal tunnel and symptomatic relief from many chronic conditions.
Reflexology
This treatment manipulates the reflexive points on the feet to affect the rest of the body. Reflexology can also be used diagnostically to determine imbalances in the body.
Heated Stone
Hot basalt stones are placed about the body while flat smooth stones are used to do a rhythmic and relaxing massage. Combine soothing Swedish massage, hot rocks and scented oil to create a calm atmosphere that helps relieve stress.
Infant Massage
This is a gentle massage, mainly on the abdomen, to soothe babies and to help parents bond with the child. The therapist usually performs the treatment while teaching the parent how to continue the treatment at home.
Kinesio Taping
Athletes use this method tostabilize and support weak muscles. This differes from fundamental taping because it allows the muscles and joints to move freely. It enhances circulation of the blood and lymph which promotes healing. Kinesio taping is not just for sports injuries.
Acupuncture
Tiny needles strategically placed to balance the body's chi (energy field). The needles are used to stimuate or calm the nerves and msucles. Acupuncture can also be used to treat addictions, insomnia, mentrual problems and many other conditions.
Facial Acupuncture
Small needles are used to stimulate muscle and improve skin tone. The increase in tone improves the look of the skin on the face. This is also referred to as a 'non-surgical face lift'.
Infrared Sauna
Infrared sauna uses light rays to penetrate deeply into your body and helps to promote better circulation while facilitating detoxification at the cellular level. Infrared rays heat the body from the inside so you will not experience dryness or burning of the skin. Toxins are eliminated by profuse sweating and by circulation of the blood and the lympatic system. The sauna can help with many conditions such as muscle tension, arthritic pain and skin conditions such as acne.
Paraffin Wax
Stiff joints are dipped in 130 degree wax and wrapped to keep the deep heat inside. The wax also contains lanolin oil which is great for dry skin. This treatment is recommended for arthritic conditions and is complementary to a massage.
Nail Care
This treatment is to maintain neat and healthy nails. It consists of a peppermint foot soak, a sea salt scrub, cuticle trimming and nail cutting. This is a perfect add-on to reflexology.
Ion Foot Bath
This is a detoxifying foot bath. A current that flows through the water communicates with the cells to release toxins through the sweat glands of the feet. The state of the water after the treatment indicates which toxins are most prevalent in the body.

Is Massage Therapy covered by OHIP?
Unfortunately, it is not covered by OHIP. However, it is covered by most extended healthcare plans. If you have Greenshield, Bluecross or have recently been in an accident, then we can bill on your behalf.
Do I need a doctor's referral?
No. You do not need a note to get treatment, but you should check to see if your insurance company requires one.
What do I wear?
You wear whatever you are most comfortable with. Clients get themselves onto the table after the therapist's assessment.Most clients keep on their underwear, since you will be under a flannel sheet and undraped only where necessary.
Does Massage Therapy hurt?
If the therapist and client have good communication, the treatment should not hurt. However, given some health reasons or unusual pain tolerance levels, some people may experience some degree of pain. Also, it is normal to feel some tenderness the day after your treatment. The bottom line is that treatment does not have to be painful to be effective.
What does Massage Therapy treat?
The most common condition is back, neck or shoulder pain from repetitive movement at work or sport. We also treat any arthritic joint pain, pregnancy, sciatica, carpal tunnel, headaches, stress and anxiety. We treat over 70 conditions and diseases. RMT's have a 3 year diploma that includes extensive study in the areas of anatomy, pathology and neurology.
Do I have to be a patient at the Grandview Medical Center?
No. We are open to everyone: seniors, newborns, mentally and physically challenged, pregnant and nursing mothers. If you are not sure about your condition, please call and ask.
$ 30 per treatment
