Massage therapists apply a variety of scientifically developed massage techniques to the soft tissue of the body to improve muscle tone and circulation. They work to enhance well-being, reduce the physical and mental effects of stress and tension, prevent disease and restore health. Many different massage techniques and methods can be used, including:

1. Shiatsu
2. Swedish Medical Massage
3. Deep Tissue Massage
4. Reflexology
5. Acupressure and Polarity Therapy, among many others

QCPT prefers combination of Shiatsu Massage and Deep Tissue Massage techniques. Shiatsu Massage is a form of Eastern massage originating in Japan, which involves the application of gentle pressure through the clothes to the body's energy meridians and acupressure points. By pressure stimulation and relaxation stretching, the flow of energy is eased and self-healing is promoted throughout the body. Deep Tissue Massage is used to treat specific areas of injury or pain, repair tissue damage and speed up recovery.

QCPT also offers the one-hour QCPT Wellness Massage, which consists of Shiatsu and Deep Tissue Massage combined with moist heat. Ths QCPT Wellness Massage is gentle, soothing and energizing, an excellent follow-up to Physical Therapy treatment or for overall well-being at any time.
