Laser Therapy is known by many terms, including cold or low-level laser therapy (LLLT). Recently, experts have chosen photobiomodulation therapy (PBMT) as a more accurate term that describes the therapeutic use of red and near-infrared wavelengths of light energy from laser OR light emitting diodes (LEDs) that interact with photoreceptors to produce photochemical reactions that have a positive effect on cellular metabolism and recovery from damage and inflammation. BIOFLEX® is the only laser therapy company that utilizes powerful Class 3B lasers together with large surface arrays of bicolour LEDs that affect a large volume of circulating blood as well as underlying tissues resulting in both a powerful systemic and direct photobiomodulation effect. The overall clinical effect of targeting both the injured/diseased tissues as well as the surrounding circulatory system is an unsurpassed accelerated healing response and decrease in pain, inflammation, edema and associated symptoms.

Massages can vary in technique from gently relieving stress, to alleviating muscle tension and/or pain. It is recommended that clients discuss their treatment needs with our RMT, to ensure the massage they want will meet their specific needs. While massages can vary from 30 minutes up to 90 minutes, our clinic typically suggests an initial 45min or an initial 60 min massage ( or longer ) to start. If time and booking space allow, a longer treatment time can often be beneficial in targeting the specific needs of our new clients. Our RMT can provide a variety of techniques including- Relaxation massage, TCM Cupping massage, Deep tissue massage, Sports/Athletic massage, TMJ massage, as well as Pre/Post natal massage.

Cupping is a modality that is rooted in Traditional Chinese medicine and can often be added to a massage treatment. The technique can use silicone, plastic or glass cups and creates a vacuum seal on the skin in particular areas of the body. The suction of the cups on the skin can help to increase blood flow, help to break up adhesions and helps the overall healing process. Cupping can help with a variety of muscle and joint disorders, such as repetitive stress injuries, muscles adhesions, as well as enhance blood flow. Cups can be used on the back, neck arms legs, but there are some areas where cups CANNOT be used as well as some conditions when cupping is contraindicated. Depending on the source of the pain, clients often report improved mobility and decreased tension injured areas of the body after a cupping session.
