Pain relief that lasts
Targeted pressure works out the knots and trigger points that keep coming back, not just the surface tension.

Treatments & techniques
Our Registered Massage Therapy Treatments & Techniques
Swedish Massage Therapy
Swedish massage uses long, flowing strokes to loosen tight muscle and settle a busy nervous system — as effective for stress as it is for sore shoulders.
Muscle Energy Technique
MET uses your own gentle, controlled contractions — not deep pressure — to reset muscle length, ease spasm and improve mobility.
Proprioceptive Neuromuscular Facilitation
PNF pairs passive stretching with brief isometric contraction to unlock range of motion that static stretching alone struggles to reach.
Neurokinetic Therapy
Neurokinetic Therapy uses manual muscle testing to find which muscle has gone quiet and which one is overcompensating — then retrains the pattern so the pain doesn't just come back.
Deep Tissue Massage
Deep tissue massage uses sustained, deliberate pressure to reach the muscle and connective tissue layers a lighter massage can't touch.
Active/Passive Assisted Stretching
Your therapist stabilizes and guides the stretch so tight tissue lengthens further and more safely than it would on its own.
Sports Massage Therapy
Sports massage targets the muscle tension that comes from repetitive physical strain — whether that's a training block or a physically demanding job.
Motor Vehicle Accident Massage
Massage therapy tailored to whiplash, neck pain, headaches and the pain that follows a motor vehicle accident — coordinated with the rest of your care team.
Manual Lymphatic Drainage
Manual lymphatic drainage uses slow, rhythmic pressure to help move fluid that has built up in the tissue — no oils, no deep pressure.
What it is
What is Registered Massage Therapy?
Every session starts with a short conversation about what's bothering you and why, before any hands touch your back. From there your therapist builds a treatment plan around the nature and severity of your condition, choosing from a range of advanced techniques rather than a single default routine.
Why choose us
Why Choose Lumina Clinic for Registered Massage Therapy?
Better mobility
Restricted joints and stiff muscles are worked loose so you move the way you're supposed to.
Improved circulation
Manual technique gets blood moving through tissue that's been guarded or under-used, speeding recovery.
A genuinely settled nervous system
Slower techniques calm a nervous system stuck in high alert — useful for stress, anxiety and poor sleep as much as sore muscles.

Your visit
What to Expect During Treatment
Every Registered Massage Therapy visit starts with an assessment — what's going on, why, and whether registered massage therapy is the right tool for it. Your practitioner explains the plan before treatment begins, and adjusts it as you respond, so you always know what's happening and why.
Do I need a doctor's referral for massage therapy?
No — you can book directly. Some extended health plans ask for one before they reimburse, so it's worth checking your policy.
How much pressure will my therapist use?
Whatever you ask for. Tell your therapist your comfort level at the start and at any point during the session — it can always change.
How many sessions will I need?
It depends on what you're treating. Your therapist will give you an honest plan after the first assessment rather than booking an open-ended package.
Is massage therapy covered by insurance?
Registered massage therapy is eligible under most extended health plans. We can help you check your coverage.
