Relaxation massage, also known as a Swedish massage, uses a combination of gentle strokes, kneading, and targeted pressure to loosen your muscles, improve circulation, and help you relax. This technique stimulates the body's lymphatic system, aids with insomnia, and enhances overall wellness. Our St. Albert Massage Therapists apply techniques focused on relaxation rather than working out serious adhesions or knots in the muscle tissue.

What happens during a relaxation massage treatment?
Is relaxation massage right for me?
Relaxation massage is an indispensable treatment you should incorporate into your wellness routine if you are looking to reduce stress, improve circulation, decrease repetitive strains, and promote overall relaxation. It’s ideal people looking to relieve muscle tension without the intensity of therapeutic or deep tissue massage techniques. However, it isn't suitable for all conditions. It's important to inform your RMT of any medical conditions you have, as this information is crucial in tailoring the massage to your specific needs.
Reduced Pain & Swelling
Relaxation massage helps loosen tight muscles and improve blood flow. It is particularly beneficial for those with chronic muscle tightness due to stress, poor posture, or physical activity.
Improved Mobility
By addressing muscle tightness and restrictions, relaxation massage can help increase your range of motion and make daily activities easier.
Better Circulation
By manipulating soft tissues, this massage can increase blood flow throughout your body, delivering oxygen and nutrients to your muscles to aid in healing.
Reduced Tissue Inflammation
The techniques used during relaxation massage effectively reduce inflammation by promoting blood flow and circulation. This massage helps diminish swelling and aids in removing toxins from inflamed areas.
Repetitive Strain Injury & Sports Recovery
This type of massage is beneficial to athletes, those in a physically or mentally intensive job, and anyone recovering from strenuous activity. It promotes muscle repair by flushing out lactic acid, the byproduct of exercise that can cause soreness.
Stress, Anxiety, and General Relief
The focused pressure and techniques our Registered Massage Therapists use during a relaxation massage is helpful to calm your nervous system, relieve stress, and compliment your wellness routine.
Decreased Reliance on Medication
Relaxation massage can reduce your need for over-the-counter medications. When your sleep and physical health improve, it can result in less frequent use of medications that you might be taking for physical and mental help.

What Our Clients Are Saying
"The people are great! Friendly staff and flexible appointments. They have direct billing with insurance too which is really nice. I've been going in for deep tissue massage for the last 3 weeks and my muscles are finally loosening up. Grace is amazing at deep tissue massage. I highly recommend her if that's what you're looking for... and it takes me a lot to say that. I don't give praise unless it's deserved."
Tannis Mason
"I dealt with shoulder pain for a year and half. I saw multiple massage therapists throughout that time and no one could seem to relieve the pain and stiffness. One session with Craig and he fixed it. He even knew the cause just based on my description of the issue before we even started the massage. I highly recommend him!"
Candida Tookey
"Amazing results! I've been meeting with Craig for a few months now, and we've managed to completely obliterate my chronic shoulder pain. Craig uses a number of different modalities to address issues you may be experiencing. He's enthusiastic about his work, and it comes through in our sessions. Craig's jovial and professional personality was key to putting any hesitations I may have had at ease, as he was the first male massage therapist I've worked with. Always comfortable, always professional."
Kim Davidson
"Lexy was great. She's clearly passionate about massage, health & fitness, and she was very knowledgeable on ways to correct tightness in my body. She even provided stretching suggestions/examples specific to my problem areas after my massage time had run out."
