Why I Love Massage And Why You Should Too
Why I Love Massage Therapy (And Why You Should Too)
You've had a long day at work and you're feeling stressed. There are deadlines to meet and goals to crush, but you're feeling burnt out and don't know what to do next. Does that sound familiar? Is that how you're feeling right now? If it is, you need to come in to Strive Holistic massage therapy clinic in downtown Edmonton and let us help you unwind and rejuvenate.
A Massage for Everyone
No matter what type of massage you're looking for, we can accommodate your comfort level. You may have a set idea of what massage therapy is, but at this clinic, we offer a variety of massage techniques to suit where you are at and your relationship with your body and particular preferences. The four primary massage techniques that we offer will help to facilitate healing within your own body, feel connected with your body and help encourage you strive to feel your best. Our favourite techniques to utilize during a client’s treatment are: Thai Massage, deep tissue massage, myofascial cupping, and Graston Therapy.
These are the four techniques that we use most often to help my clients because they work. We’re not going to waste your time giving you a massage that won't help you feel better. A great massage is more than just knowing which muscles to rub and where to press, it's an art form that creates a deep authentic connection. It is an experience that can help you heal on a physical, mental, emotional, and even social level.
Thai Massage
A Thai massage is a fully clothed massage that uses pressure and stretching to relieve tension, increase flexibility and improve range of motion. Rather than laying on a table, you will be seated on a comfortable mat on the floor, which allows me to use my body weight and leverage to provide a deep, effective massage. At Strive Holistic, you will get the best Thai Massage in Edmonton from someone who knows that massage therapy is more than just rubbing your back in the localized areas that are feeling tense.

Deep Tissue
When most people think of massage therapy, they think of a deep tissue massage. This type of massage is designed to target the deep layers of muscle and connective tissue in your body. It's perfect for anyone who wants to relieve chronic pain, improve their range of motion or just relax and unwind. You can expect to feel more relaxed and have less pain after just one session. When you come to Strive Holistic Clinic, you'll get the best deep tissue massage in Edmonton from a massage therapist who cares about your health and well-being.

Myofascial Cupping
Myofascial cupping is a massage therapy technique that uses special cups to create suction on the skin. The suction pulls the skin and underlying tissue away from the muscle to release restrictions and create space in the tissue adding warmth and increasing blood flow which in turn helps to reduce pain and promote healing. Myofascial cupping is great for anyone who wants to improve their mobility, reduce pain, or just relax.

Graston Therapy
Graston Therapy is also a myofascial-based massage technique that uses special instruments to massage the muscles and connective tissue in your body. This creates blood flow and can provide instant relief and is especially effective in areas that have old injuries that just won't seem to heal. Graston is very unique and you may want to learn more!
