  • Sports Massage:
    A specialized athletic-focused treatment designed for active individuals. It targets tight or overworked muscles, enhances flexibility, prevents injuries, and speeds recovery after training or competition. Using deeper pressure, targeted techniques, and stretching, it helps the body stay strong, balanced, and ready for peak performance.
  • Prenatal Massage:

It uses gentle, supportive techniques and safe positioning to promote relaxation, improve circulation, reduce stress, and enhance overall comfort throughout pregnancy.

Add-Ons to Enhance Your Session

Hot Stones

Hot stones are made from a special type of volcanic rock—basalt—chosen because it is smooth and retains heat well. Incorporating stones helps warm up the muscles to allow for deeper pressure while maximising relaxation. Hot stones can help decrease muscle tension, reduce stress and anxiety, increase blood flow, and elevate the overall benefits of your massage—many people describe it as feeling like tension “melts away.”

Essential Oils

Aromatherapy can add a powerful layer of calm to your session. Diffusing essential oils or applying them topically may help reduce stress and anxiety and increase relaxation. Essential oils can also support comfort by helping decrease muscle tension and calm inflamed, irritated-feeling tissues—making it a perfect add-on for a more soothing experience.

Cupping

Cupping is a technique with a long history (dating back as early as 1550 B.C.) that has grown in popularity in recent years. It uses suction to help increase blood flow, relax muscles, and support the body’s natural recovery process. When combined with massage and/or chiropractic care, cupping can further support healing—especially for tight, overworked areas.

What to Expect at Forward Motion Chiropractic and Wellness

When you come in, we’ll take a few minutes to talk through what’s feeling tight or irritated, your activity level, and what you want from the session. From there, your therapist customises pressure, focus areas, and techniques—whether you need pure relaxation, deeper work, or a recovery-focused approach.

Because Forward Motion Chiropractic and Wellness is a sports-focused wellness hub, you can also combine massage with other services like chiropractic, cold tub sessions, med spa care, or performance training when appropriate. The goal is simple: help you feel better, recover faster, and get back to what you love.

We offer same-day and Saturday appointments when available, with free parking at the office for easy access.
