After
serving clients out of their Des Epinettes Ave. location
for the past 12 years, the Massage and Treatment Clinic
has moved to an expanded location on Place dOrléans
Drive beside the Greco Lean and Fit studio near the No
Frills grocery store.
Co-owner
Amanda Smith says the old location became too cramped
as their clientele grew along with the number of massage
therapists they had on staff to serve them. The location
also limited their ability to continue growing.
The
new location is right next door to the Place dOrléans
shopping centre and within walking distance of the transit
station.
During
the past 14 years in business The Massage and Treatment
Clinic has earned a reputation for professionalism and
customer care that is second to none..
They
truly care about each and every client who passes through
their door. As health care professionals they take the
time to accurately assess the clients ailment and
then proceed with whatever treatment is the most effective
in alleviating the problem.
The
benefits of massage therapy are almost too numerous to
list. It creates body awareness, foster peace of mind,
improves blood and lymph circulation, improves posture,
lessens stress and reduces anxiety by promoting a relaxed
state of mental awareness and increases mobility.
Whether
its Therapeutic Ultrasound, Cranial Osteopathy,
Acupressure Massage Therapy, or any other treatment they
specialize in, you can be assured that at the end of the
day you will be feeling stronger and better.
The
Clinic is also one of the few in Ottawa with a resident
Registered Massage Therapist who specializes in Lymphatic
Drainage.
The
treatment is commonly used to help with lymphedema, which
can be caused by heart problems, wearing tight-fitting
clothing, and injuries like sprains and fractures. It
also sometimes happens a side effect of chemotherapy treatments
and surgeries done to remove breast cancer, colon cancer,
and prostate cancer.
Amanda
is also a certified infant massage instructor who can
provide parents with the tools to properly massage their
infants and children with confidence. The benefits this
provides helps relieve colic, gas and constipation, strengthens
the immune system, increases healthy bonding, stimulates
physiological systems (circulatory, nervous, digestive),
increases parents awareness of cues and helps regulate
sleep patterns.
At
The Massage and Treatment Clinic they offer bilingual
service and flexible hours. Appointments can be made during
the day, in the evening or on weekends.
The
cost is extremely reasonable and the prices are based
on 15 minute intervals. Of special note, massage therapy
is often covered by your extended medical plan when conducted
by a Registered Massage Therapist.
