OUR REGISTERED MASSAGE THERAPISTS
MASSAGE THERAPY
Massage is one of the oldest, simplest forms of therapy and is
a system of pressing and kneading different areas of the body to
relieve pain, relax, stimulate, and tone the body.
Massage does much more than create a pleasant sensation on
the skin; it also works on the soft tissues (the muscles, tendons,
and ligaments) to improve muscle tone. Although it largely
affects those muscles just under the skin, its benefits may also
reach the deeper layers of muscle and possibly even the
organs themselves. Massage also stimulates blood circulation
and assists the lymphatic system (which runs parallel to
the circulatory system), improving the elimination of waste
throughout the body.

MASSAGE THERAPY RATES
30 minutes $50.00
45 minutes $65.00
60 minutes $77.00
THE EFFECTS OF MASSAGE 75 minutes $99.00
Although a single massage will be enjoyable, the effects of
massage are cumulative and a course of massage treatments will
bring the most benefits. Regular massage can have the effect
of strengthening and toning the entire body mechanism, and also
help to prevent unnecessary strains and injuries that
might otherwise occur due to excess tension and any resulting
structural weaknesses. Massage can stimulate or calm
the nervous system — depending upon what is required by
the individual — and thus help reduce fatigue, leaving the
receiver with a feeling of replenished energy. At its best, massage
has the potential to restore the individual physically, mentally
and spiritually. 90 minutes $120.00
Fees are subject to change without notice.
HST extra where applicable.
Please pay in the Membership Office before the treatment.
Gift Certificates are available.
