A flexible massage option
What “Therapeutic Massage” Means on Our Menu
At Strathcona Wellness, Therapeutic Massage is the menu name for a flexible appointment shaped around your preferences that day. It can combine a calming full-body massage with extra time on one or two areas, instead of keeping the same pressure and pace from beginning to end.
The word “therapeutic” describes the focused format of the appointment. It does not mean medical diagnosis, rehabilitation or treatment of an injury. If you have a new, severe or unexplained symptom, contact an appropriate regulated healthcare professional before booking.
How It Differs From Other Massage Choices
Relaxation Massage is the simplest choice when your priority is calm, lighter-to-medium pressure and an even pace. Deep Tissue Massage is designed for clients who already know they prefer consistently firmer, slower pressure. Therapeutic Massage sits between those choices and allows the pressure, pace and focus to change during one visit.
If you are unsure, book the session length that fits your schedule and tell us what kind of experience you want when you arrive. The provider can explain the available approach before the appointment begins.
Plan the Appointment Around Your Priorities
Choose the Main Goal
Decide whether you mainly want to unwind, want extra attention on selected areas, or want a balance of both.
Choose the Focus
You can request a full-body appointment or reserve more time for areas such as the back, shoulders, hands, legs or feet.
Choose the Pressure
Light, medium and firm pressure can be combined. Feedback is welcome throughout the session.
Keep Control of Comfort
Tell the provider about sensitive areas, preferred positioning and anything you do not want included.
