Types Of Massages
We offer a variety of specialized massage treatments here at Ottawa Pelvic Health.
Prenatal Massage
Prenatal massage is a therapeutic treatment designed specifically for expectant mothers. Gentle, supportive techniques help ease common pregnancy discomforts such as lower back pain, hip and glute tension, sciatica, leg swelling, and fatigue.
​
This massage enhances circulation, reduces physical stress, and promotes overall well-being throughout pregnancy—ensuring comfort and safety for both mother and baby.
Postpartum Massage
Postpartum massage is designed to support mothers as they recover following childbirth. This specialized treatment soothes sore muscles from labor and delivery, helps improve posture, reduces mid and lower back pain often caused by feeding or carrying the baby, and can address scar tissue if a caesarean birth occurred.​
​
In addition, postpartum massage boosts circulation, relieves fluid retention, and offers much-needed emotional support during the transition to motherhood.​
Paediatric/Infant Massage:
Pediatric and infant massage involves gentle, nurturing touch to support a child's physical development and help alleviate body tension. For infants, this practice can assist with issues such as tension, digestion, sleep, and feeding.​
​
In older children, it may help with muscle tension, growing pains, and relaxation. This calming technique fosters comfort, trust, and overall well-being.​
Swedish Massage:
Swedish massage is a classic full-body relaxation technique that uses long, gliding strokes, kneading, and gentle circular movements. It enhances blood flow, relieves muscle tension, reduces stress, and promotes overall relaxation.
This soothing massage helps improve circulation, increase flexibility, and elevate well-being, making it ideal for those seeking relaxation and physical relief.
Deep Tissue Massage:
Deep tissue massage targets the deeper muscle layers and connective tissue to address chronic tension, tightness, and restricted movement. Using slow, firm pressure, it helps break down adhesions, release knots, and improve mobility. It is especially effective for long-term muscle pain, poor posture, and repetitive strain injuries. Benefits include pain relief, improved posture, increased flexibility, better circulation, and reduced inflammation.
Techniques involve applying deep pressure with elbows, knuckles, and thumbs to specific areas, helping to release tension, scar tissue, and fascia. It stimulates blood flow, reduces inflammation, and can aid in injury recovery. The therapy also stimulates the nervous system, releasing feel-good chemicals and promoting relaxation. Deep tissue massage is ideal for targeted relief of chronic pain and improving overall muscle and joint health.​
Trigger Point Release:​
​Trigger point therapy focuses on releasing specific areas of muscle tightness, known as “trigger points,” that can cause referred pain and discomfort in other parts of the body. By applying sustained pressure and gentle stretching, this technique helps deactivate these points, reduce pain, and restore normal muscle function and flexibility.​
