Sports massage is a form of bodywork geared toward participants in athletics. It is used to help prevent injuries, to prepare the body for athletic activity and maintain it in optimal condition, and to help athletes recover from workouts and injuries.

Sports massage can be characterized two ways: pre-activity and post-activity massage. Pre-activity uses dynamic stretching to allow the connective tissue to work through a full range of motion, thereby reducing possible injury. Post-activity massage focuses on recovering the muscle tissue that may have been impacted during a particular sport. It involves long strokes to flush out the toxins that causes soreness in the muscles and joints.

Prenatal massage is a collection of traditional techniques used to reduce pregnancy discomfort, facilitate labor and help with anxiety and stress during pregnancy. The Massage Therapist receives advanced education in the anatomy, physiology and complications related to pregnancy. At Massage Haven, prenatal massages are done only by certified therapists who have received special training. Before receiving a massage, pregnant women are advised to speak with their doctors to learn if massage is recommended.

And after Baby's arrival, massage can help expedite recovery and provide relief from the challenges of early motherhood.

This remarkable therapy utilizes negative pressure, rather than tissue compression, for superior results in a wide array of bodywork techniques. Suction cup therapy is a traditional, time-honoured treatment that remains favoured by millions of people worldwide because it's safe, comfortable, and produces remarkable results.

At Massage Haven, we only use silicone cups therefore it's safer than glass cupping (no heat involved) and is also see through, so we can monitor the effectiveness of the cups. Schedule your appointment today.
