Massage Therapy at Qualicum Beach Integrated Health

​

Massage therapy is the assessment and treatment of the body’s soft tissues and joints through hands-on techniques. It can be used to treat a wide range of conditions or simply as part of a regular wellness and maintenance program.

​

A Registered Massage Therapist (RMT) is a professional regulated through the Canadian Massage Therapist Alliance (CMTA). Their designation ensures the highest standards of training, ethics, and care.

 

RMTs play a vital role in our healthcare system, helping to reduce pain, restore movement, and improve quality of life.

​

At Qualicum Beach Integrated Health, we believe every client deserves care that is as unique as they are. Our practitioners customize treatment plans to effectively address your individual concerns—whether you are recovering from injury, managing chronic pain, or seeking overall wellness support.

 

Popular Massage Techniques
 

Swedish Massage

A whole-body therapeutic technique designed to relax muscles and joints, improve circulation, and promote overall relaxation. Swedish massage is one of the most common and widely recognized styles of massage.

 

Deep Tissue Massage

Uses firmer pressure to reach deeper layers of muscle and fascia. It is especially effective for breaking down scar tissue and adhesions (“muscle knots”) that can cause inflammation, pain, and restricted movement.

 

Sports Massage Therapy

Created for athletes and active individuals, this therapy corrects imbalances in soft tissue caused by repetitive movement or strenuous activity. Typically applied after exercise, it helps relieve pain, tension, and aids in faster recovery.

​

Trigger Point & Myofascial Massage

Trigger points are tight, sensitive spots in muscle fibers and fascia that restrict blood flow and cause pain—often referred to as “knots.” Myofascial massage works to release these points by improving circulation, flushing out waste, and encouraging muscle relaxation, bringing relief and restoring mobility.
