Our Philosophy
At Acuity Massage Therapy, we believe strongly in the extensive therapeutic effects massage has on the mind and body.
Touch in its most basic form is necessary for human life to thrive; we all need touch! Considering also the many stressors placed on our minds and bodies throughout life, it is clear that massage therapy can contribute significantly to our health and well-being.
Combining a solid knowledge of anatomy, physiology, and massage principles with hands skilled in perception and massage techniques, you can expect positive results at Acuity Massage Therapy.
To achieve optimal results we believe it is essential to partner with you. We may bring the massage skills to the table, but you know your body best; what’s working, what’s not and what your goals are.
When your needs extend beyond the scope of massage therapy, collaboration with and referral to physios, doctors, chiros, personal trainers etc. will be part of the plan. With prior experience working as part of a multidisciplinary team, we appreciate the expertise and skills of other health practitioners.
Delivering professional and competent services, clients will know they are respected and cared about at Acuity Massage Therapy.
