The Perfect Gift: Massage Therapy

Is there someone or multiple people on your Christmas list for whom it’s impossible to find the perfect gift? Every year, it seems to be the same dilemma: what do you get the person who has everything? Or what do you get the person who just doesn’t need any more stuff? We’d like to make that task a bit simpler for you this holiday season: Give the gift of massage!

Give a moment of relaxation that the recipient will appreciate and enjoy greatly. Massage therapy has countless benefits including pain relief, stress relief, relaxation, improved sleep, and improved mood. We can’t think of another gift that can do all that!

Massage gift certificate

We’ve made it easy this year to give a massage gift certificate to your loved ones. There are two ways you can purchase one: online on our website, or by visiting one of our two locations in the Byward Market or the Glebe. Your massage gift certificate can be redeemed at either CURAVITA location. In addition, the massage appointment can be booked online at Curavita Byward and Curavita Glebe.

Be Kind to Yourself Too!

Now, what about you? We all tend to get caught up in the hustle and bustle of the holiday season. Parties, family dinners, cooking, baking, shopping! The list goes on. Not to mention shovelling, putting up the Christmas tree, and hanging lights. These things are all important this time of year, but they are even more enjoyable when we can all show up feeling refreshed and ready. Treat yourself to a relaxing and therapeutic massage over the next few weeks. This will help take that stress away and rejuvenate your body and mind. You will truly be able to enjoy time with friends and family.

Tailored experience

In our spa-like clinical setting, each massage is tailored to its recipient. Whether you prefer a relaxing massage or one that goes in-depth on a particular muscle, knot, joint or area of scar tissue, you will find a professional, registered massage therapist (RMT) to meet your needs.

Every exceptional massage begins with an opportunity to discuss your health history and preferences with your therapist. Once done, the therapist will leave the room so that you can get ready for the massage. You will be instructed to remove clothing to your comfort level and to lay on your back or your stomach, under a blanket with pillows for support as needed. Each of our hydraulic massage tables is gently heated to help you relax along with music playing softly in the background. During the massage, you can instruct the therapist on the amount of pressure used so that it remains a comfortable experience for you throughout your massage.

After your massage and once you’re dressed, your RMT will return to the room and recommend future care needs. Dedicated to health and wellness, our massage therapists are committed to providing every client with the highest quality holistic care and personalized experience.

massage therapy benefits include:

• Alleviate musculoskeletal pains and tension.
• Improve and restore range of motion.
• Improve the function of the immune system by stimulating lymph flow.
• Exercise and stretch weak, tight, or atrophied muscles, often caused by poor posture.
• Relax and soften injured, tired, and overused muscles.
• Reduce muscle spasms and cramping.
• Help athletes of any level prepare for and recover from strenuous workouts.
• Increase joint flexibility and mobility.

Our team of Registered Massage Therapists at CURAVITA Glebe and CURAVITA Byward will assist you in restoring, maintaining and enhancing your well-being this holiday season, as well as year-round.

As the year comes to an end, there are only so many days left for you to use your health insurance benefits as they will expire on December 31st. If you haven’t done so already, now is a good time to review your health insurance benefits. Use what you are entitled to for your healthcare needs before the new year including massage, chiropractic care, orthotics, and physiotherapy.

We wish you a healthy and stress-free holiday season! And remember, we are here to make gift-giving and relaxation easier for you!
