Please take a look at all of the Bios and rave reviews for our Registered Massage Therapists (RMT), Acupuncturists, Chiropractors, Physiotherapists and our Osteopath manual practitioner.
Remember, each therapist has their own style of treating, but all of our RMT’s do deep tissue massage. We have a great group of practitioners at Equilibrium; and they will always strive to make your session the best that it can be. Massage therapy has it’s roots in Swedish massage, so if you don’t like deep massage please let your therapist know; they all can lighten up to give a nice relaxing massage. Don’t hesitate to ask questions. We want to find the therapist that suits you best.
The Registered Acupuncturist can either do an acupuncture only session, or a session that incorporates Tui Na Chinese massage or Shiatsu Acupressure into the session. Take a look at the booking calendar for options available. Acupuncture is usually covered by extended health care, so go ahead and give it a try!
