Melissa Henderson is one of the few local Registered Massage Therapists who combines Swedish massage treatments with aroma-hot stone therapy for greater relaxation and optimum healing benefits.
Since 2005, Melissa has operated her own clinic to treat individuals with soft tissue ailments. She encourages her clients to be proactive in their health whether it is physical, emotional, or spiritual.
Swedish massage is a therapeutic treatment that eases sore muscles, promotes blood and lymphatic circulation, and increases flexibility. Melissa works with many individuals who have suffered injuries as a result of car accidents, sports, or work-related issues and is cognizant to each person’s level of comfort.
With an intuitive touch, Melissa understands there is more going on within a person’s body than just the problem at hand…and works to treat the deeper issues. Aroma-hot stone therapy enhances the therapeutic treatment. The warmth of the hot stones improves circulation and calms the nervous system as the essential oils promote a sense of harmony within the body and mind for inner peace.
Melissa believes in being preventative, not curative, and promotes treatment alternatives for surgery including conditions such as rotator cuff injuries, golf or tennis elbow, and carpal tunnel syndrome. As massage boosts the immune system, it can be effective as a complementary approach for cancer patients and those with lymphoedema as it helps to re-circulate the lymph for reduced swelling.
Melissa also has a keen interest in breast health and educates women and men about breast massage.
