CST Massage Therapy
Swedish Massage
Swedish Massage is a classic, full-body treatment designed to relax muscles, improve circulation, and relieve stress. Using gentle to firm pressure with smooth, gliding strokes, this massage helps ease tension, reduce muscle stiffness, and promote overall well-being.
Ideal for those looking to unwind and rejuvenate, Swedish Massage offers a restorative experience for both body and mind. Our Registered Massage Therapists provide a calming, personalized session to help you feel balanced, refreshed, and restored.
Deep Tissue Massage
Deep Tissue Massage is an intensive treatment that targets the deeper layers of muscle and connective tissue, ideal for relieving chronic tension and pain. Using slow, focused pressure and deliberate strokes, this massage works to break down adhesions, release knots, and improve overall mobility, making it particularly effective for addressing persistent stiffness and discomfort that may not respond to lighter techniques.
Deep Tissue Massage also enhances circulation in areas of tension, aiding in the body’s natural healing process and helping to reduce inflammation. It’s perfect for those recovering from physical exertion, dealing with long-term tension, or simply seeking a more intensive approach to relief. Our Registered Massage Therapist tailors each session to address specific areas of concern, providing a targeted, restorative experience that promotes lasting muscle function and flexibility.
We Love to Hear From You!
“I recently had a sports massage with Connor and it was amazing! After running the marathon at Ottawa Race Weekend my body was quite sore. I was hesitant to have a massage the first day post-race as I wasn’t sure if it would make it worse. But Connor was excellent- he was able to get some tightness out while also having gentle pressure. I could already feel the difference it made walking out of the appointment and now a few days later I feel great! I will certainly book more massages with him in the future. “

Tui Na Massage: Eastern Medicine Deep Tissue Massage
Tui Na Massage is an ancient Chinese therapeutic technique that combines deep massage, acupressure, and stretching to release muscle knots, clear energy pathways, and alleviate pain. Rooted in Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), Tui Na uses rhythmic "push and pull" motions to restore balance in the body and improve the flow of Qi (energy) throughout. This dynamic approach addresses both the physical and energetic aspects of wellness, making it ideal for treating musculoskeletal pain, tension, and stress.
