Barefoot VS. Hands-On

Barefoot Massage Therapy

While barefoot massage therapy CAN be a deeper form of treatment, it’s not always….

  • barefoot work is broad, so it allows us to deliver more static pressure where you feel more of your tissue being engaged at once

  • for some people who don’t love deep tissue, they simply love barefoot because it often allows them to feel pressure with out pain

  • just like with any hands on treatment, barefoot RMT’s have a wash station that allows them to cleanse both their hands and their feet before & after every treatment

  • barefoot is simply uncomparable to hands on therapy ~ you can expect depth to treatment but nothing like you’ve ever experienced before

Hands-On Massage Therapy

All of our therapists continue to skillbuild their hands-on strategy….

  • hands on work can be ‘pokier’ for some

  • techniques may incorporate work with both oil & dry contact

  • within the context of hands-on work, hydrotherapy, hot stones as well as cupping therapy is more easily integrated for the working RMT

  • hands on work is great for digestive, hip flexor strain issues as well as TMJ & scalp related tensions
