Our Specialty Services: 

​

Prenatal Massage

Massage therapy has been shown to have many benefits during pregnancy, including improved labour and delivery outcomes.  Treatment plans can be tailored to treat many issues and conditions you may deal with during pregnancy such as: 

• Muscle and joint pain, including low back, pelvic and rib pain 

• Reduce muscle tension in legs, hips, and back to prepare for labour

• Improve circulation and decrease swelling and edema

• Nerve compression and impingement

• Breast/chest pain

• Stress reduction and improved sleep

​​

Postpartum Massage

Birth is challenging and can have many impacts on the body. Many people deal with postpartum pain, stress and sleep disturbances, as well as many other issues depending upon the individual and the birth itself. Postpartum massage can help you with:

• Muscle and joint pain

• Breast/chest pain, breast engorgement

• Preventing mastitis

• Cesarean birth scar tissue 

• Reducing stress and anxiety and improving sleep 

​

Breast/chest massage

Breast massage can be an integral part of postpartum care. Massage can reduce tension in muscles that commonly compress the lymphatics within the chest and armpit, resulting in poor lymph drainage. Proper lymph drainage is important for the prevention and treatment of engorgement and blocked ducts, and the prevention of mastitis. Callee can also provide education on how to perform breast massage at home for milk production and lymph drainage. 

Breast/chest massage therapy can also provide relief for:

• painful breast/chest tissue, swelling or tenderness

• pre or post menstrual congestion

• breast/chest scarring following surgery or medical procedure

• shoulder dysfunction (ie. frozen shoulder)

Infant massage

Studies have shown that regular infant massage can have a positive impact on the stress and mental health of parents and caregivers, and is also an incredible way to bond and build connection with your baby. At Synergy, you have the option to book your baby in for a massage treatment, or, to book a show and tell with Callee.
