The
Parisport Sports Medicine Clinic's Certified Massage
Therapist is certified through La Fédération
Québécoise des Massothérapeutes.
Her expertise includes Therapeutic and Swedish massage
techniques for which insurance receipts can be given.
Various
lifestyle factors such as sleep disorders, anxiety,
lack of exercise, and incorrect diet can cause
emotional and energy imbalances which can eventually
bring on pathologies such as neck and back pain,
headaches, and other physical disorders.
Massage sessions are provided in a private room
in a relaxed ambiance within the clinic. Treatments
are performed on a comfortable massage table with
the client being either unclothed or in undergarments
as per their preference.
The client is draped appropriately
with sheets or towels. The massage can include the whole
body, or can be restricted to a specific problem area
(e.g. the upper back). Non-scented or aromatic oils
are used to reduce friction when the therapist's hands
contact the body.
Massage sessions can be for ½ hour, 1 hour, 1 ½ hours, or 2 hours in length to suit the client.
