Acupuncture
Acupuncture is the practice of inserting very fine needles into the body to stimulate the meridians in the body’s energetic system. Different points along the meridians are stimulated to balance the flow of energy (Qi) in the body promoting health & well-being. Practitioners may also use heat, pressure (Acupressure), friction, suction (see Cupping), or impulses of electromagnetic energy to stimulate these points. As a part of Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) Acupuncture is currently recognized as a therapeutic modality for a variety of health situations.
Osteopathy
Osteopathy is a way of detecting and treating damaged parts of the body such as muscles, ligaments, nerves and joints. When the body is balanced it will function with the minimum of wear and tear, leaving more energy for living. Osteopathic Manual Therapy is a holistic science, based on a comprehensive system of diagnosis and treatment. It uses the interrelationship of anatomy and physiology, and respects the functioning of the entire human system.
It is a “Natural Medicine”, meaning nothing is added (medications or remedies) or subtracted (surgery) from the body. Instead, the osteopathic philosophy embraces the notion that the body is naturally able to heal itself. The practitioner of Traditional Osteopathy works with the body to enhance this natural ability to self-regulate and self-heal.
Traditional Osteopathy, as presented by the Canadian College of Osteopathy, is defined as: “A natural medicine which aims to restore function in the body by treating the causes of pain and imbalance. To achieve this goal the Osteopath relies on the quality and finesse of his/her palpation and works with the position, mobility and quality of the tissues.” ~ Philippe Druelle, DO.
Physiotherapy
Physiotherapy is a treatment that restores, maintains and improves a patient’s overall mobility, physical function and well-being. A trained physiotherapist can help you achieve this by providing corrective exercises, manual therapy and education on health and fitness.
A physiotherapist can provide a treatment plan to both prevent and rehabilitate injuries.
Some examples include:
- Muscle and joint pain caused from a sports injury such as a sprained ankle or rotator cuff tendinopathy
- Problems in the bones, joints, muscles and ligaments due to Arthritis
- Neck and back pain due to poor posture
- Decreased range of motion and strength after surgery such as ACL reconstruction
- Fatigue, reduced exercise capacity and brain fog due to COVID
Pelvic Floor Physiotherapy
Pelvic floor dysfunction is very common amongst people of all ages, yet societal stigmas prevent people from getting the proper care they deserve. As a result, many people suffer alone in silence and shame, without realizing that there are effective and evidence-based treatment options available to them.
Pelvic floor physiotherapy is an evidence-based physiotherapy treatment option for common conditions within the pelvis such as incontinence, constipation, pelvic organ prolapse, and pelvic pain.
Many people with pelvic pain have pelvic floor muscles that are too tight. When these muscles have too much tension, they can lead to pelvic pain or urgency and frequency of the bladder and bowels. Alternatively, when the pelvic floor muscles are under-active, they can contribute to incontinence and pelvic organ prolapse.
When your pelvic floor muscles are tight and weak, the tension is treated before the weakness. Once the muscles have reached a normal resting tone, and are able to relax fully, their strength is reassessed and strengthening exercises may be prescribed.
Massage Therapy
Massage Therapy is recognized as one of the oldest methods of healing. It is a widely accepted and effective treatment for reducing stress, decreasing muscle pain and stiffness, and for aiding in rehabilitation and postural realignment.
Massage therapists use a variety of techniques that, along with prescribed client self care, help to facilitate improved health and well being.
Prenatal Massage Therapy
A prenatal massage is a full body massage performed by a registered massage therapist that is similar to a Swedish massage except for a few modifications with body positioning that can ensure the safety and comfort for both mother and baby. Prenatal massage can help reduce swelling of joints, as well as improve nerve pain (eg.Sciatic nerve pain).
Women should always have a discussion with their prenatal care provider about their health before deciding on any type of massage therapy.
Other potential benefits of prenatal massage:
• Reduced back pain
• Reduced joint pain
• Improved circulation
• Reduced edema
• Reduced muscle tension and headaches
• Reduced stress and anxiety
• Improved oxygenation of soft tissues and muscles
• Better sleep
Massage Therapy with Reiki
Massage Therapy with Cupping
Cupping is a form of massage therapy which decompresses soft tissues using vacuum suction, unlike other forms of massage that compresses soft tissues. During cupping, the cup gently sucks to your skin and lifts underlying soft tissue into the cup. Almost anyone can benefit from cupping. It is used to treat lack of mobility, tight muscles, scars and many diagnoses like headaches, tendinitis, bursitis, plantar fasciitis, fibromyalgia, and release of trigger points.
Cupping benefits include the following:
• Release scar tissue and fascial adhesions
• Reduce painful trigger points
• Improve circulation, blood and lymph circulation
• Relieve pain
• Promote mobility and range of motion
• Improves mature scars
• Decrease toxins
Mild soreness is to be expected from the buildup of lactic acid in the muscle tissue, but less soreness than a deep tissue massage. Bruises are to be expected and can last up to a week. Physical exertion and heat are not recommended after the treatment.
Massage Therapy with Lymphatic Drainage
Lymphedema can happen when your tissues retain fluid left behind after your cardiovascular
system sends blood to your tissues and organs. When the lymphatic system is not working
properly lymph fluid will accumulate in mainly your neck,arms and legs.
Lymphatic drainage is a gentle massage technique that helps in reducing swelling in the body.
Lymphatic drainage massage is done without the use of oil or lotion. A gentle pressure is used
to move lymphatic fluid towards the center of the body. This process helps to stimulate the
lymphatic system, fluid is released from the tissue and guided to be reabsorbed into the lymph
nodes.
Benefits include:
• Reduce swelling
• Improve immunity
• Increase metabolism
• Improves skin texture
• Speeds up healing of scar tissue
• Improves sleep
Massage with Acupuncture
This treatment combines a massage with the addition of an acupuncture treatment. Adding acupuncture to your massage session can help enhance the healing benefits by influencing deep muscle tissue, nerves, blood flow, reducing pain and providing relaxation.
Each session will be tailored to your specific goals and outcomes for the treatment
This treatment will be billed as a Massage Therapy treatment.
Brazilian Vacuum Lymphatic Therapy (RMT)
This sculpting and detox fusion treatment combines Vacuum Cupping Therapy and Brazilian Lymphatic Drainage techniques with the option to add in the Infrared Sauna Blanket.
>>> Vacuum Cupping Therapy (LipoMassage) uses a specialized cupping device engineered to decompression the skin and underlying tissue to stimulate blood circulation, collagen synthesis, and lymphatic flow. By releasing tight fascia and mobilizing adipose tissue, it reduces water retention and supports the endocrine system, improving mood, digestion, and aiding in weight loss.
>>> Brazilian Lymphatic Drainage (BLD) elevates traditional Manual Lymphatic Drainage (MLD) techniques by getting deeper into the tissue through targeted massage methods giving noticeable tissue sculpting results. This approach enhances tissue tone, optimizes lymphatic flow, supports circulation and assists with waste product elimination. Incorporating fascial release ensures sustained improvements in lymphatic flow for long-term wellness and weight management benefits.
>>> Infrared heat penetrates deeply into the tissues, increasing blood flow, relieving pain, reducing inflammation, and accelerating the healing process.
Treatments are performed by our experienced and knowledgeable practitioner, Victoria Genoch RMT, BA, BScPa, a Physician's Assistant graduate from the University of Toronto, and Registered Massage Therapist.
3-6 sessions are recommended. Your treatment goals will be discussed at the initial consultation to determine what treatment protocol is best for you.
>>> Vacuum Therapy prices are subject to HST. Insurance coverage available under Massage Therapy as treatments are performed by an RMT.
>>> The Cancellation Policy for this treatment is firm and requires cancellations and/or reschedules to be made 24 hours prior to your appointment.
Shiatsu
Shiatsu is a natural therapy that can help relieve tension and harmonize bodily functions. During a treatment session, the therapist may use palms, thumbs, elbows or knees to apply comfortable, sustained pressure to the body. Oils are not used and lose comfortable clothing is worn during the treatment.
During a shiatsu treatment, the therapist applies pressure to the areas where the Qi (energy) is insufficient, or its flow is distorted or stagnated. When the right amount of holding pressure is applied the flow returns to normal, and the excess or blocked energy is dispersed.
In western terms, shiatsu calms the overactive sympathetic nervous system and promotes the healing, restful state of the parasympathetic nervous system. Deep relaxation and balance can be experienced, stimulating the body’s own natural healing process.
Reiki
Working as a support mechanism to the body, Reiki re-establishes a normal energy flow of Qi (life force energy) throughout the system, which in turn can enhance and accelerate the body’s innate healing ability.
Through a series of hand positions either directly on or just above the body, the certified Reiki practitioner allows for the flow of energy through their body. The client’s body then draws off the amount of energy that is required. Reiki energy works in concert with all other forms of therapy and is a perfect compliment to other treatments.
Reiki Chakra Therapy is a unique healing session created by Sheri which combines the elements of Reiki, Chakra Balancing and talk therapy. During the healing sessions Reiki energy (spiritual healing energy) enters the energy body through the chakras bringing a high vibration of love and light to the person receiving the healing. Reiki is a gentle but powerful healing energy. Sounding which helps to release the energy block and crystals which emit a natural healing energy are used to help raise the vibration of the energy body.For furher information please contact Sheri directly at sheri@sherifogartyhealing.com
