Priority Massage & Health

Whether you need relief from chronic pain and muscle tension, help recovering from an injury, or just a moment of relaxation, therapeutic massage can enhance your physical and emotional well-being, and improve your performance and quality of life.

Massage therapy is a hands-on treatment that passively loosens and stretches tense or injured muscles. By improving circulation, massage therapy clears lactic acid and other waste, increases flexibility and mobility, and reduces pain and stiffness in muscles and joints.

Whether young or old, healthy or sick, everyone can benefit from massage. Some people see the immense benefits of giving themselves an hour of “me time”. Athletes use massage for its preventative effects both before and after training or competition. Others use massage to help them recover from illness, injury or stress.

Naturopathic medicine is a distinct system of primary care which addresses the root cause of illness and disease by promoting health and supporting the body’s natural abilities to heal itself. A range of natural therapies, such as acupuncture and traditional Chinese medicine, nutritional counseling, herbal medicine, stress and lifestyle management and homeopathy are used. Naturopathic doctors offer the highest quality of care as they help patients shift their focus from one of avoiding disease to one of achieving optimal wellness.

According to traditional Chinese philosophy, the body is seen as a delicate balance of two opposing and inseparable forces: yin and yang. Yin represents the cold, slow, or passive principle, while yang represents the hot, excited, or active principle. When yin and yang are in a state of balance our vital energy, called qi, is able to flow along our energy pathways called meridians.
