Massage Therapy Collective - Grande Prairie, AB

Happy September Long Weekend all! 😍 🥂

❗️ We have no reception on weekends or holidays! That means that there will be no one answering phones this coming Saturday, Sunday, and Monday. She will be returning on Tuesday!

What does that mean for you??

👉 Call us today before 5pm if you need to make changes to your weekend appointment

👉 Use our online portal to make changes to your appointment (keeping in mind our 24-hour cancellation policy)

👉 If an emergency comes up in under 24-hours, please TEXT us & we will respond when we are able - between appointments / when your therapist is working (This is not for booking, this is for emergencies that may come up for those with already-booked appointments for this long weekend)

Otherwise, we will get back to you next Tuesday! 🥰🗓

Truly. We do not care if you forgot to shave your legs before your appointment.

Or your armpits. Or your back. Or your arms. Whatever it is, please know that hair is natural and normal, and we genuinely do not care about it. 💁

➡️ We are a judgment free space, safe for all!

🏃‍♂️‍➡️ Movement really IS medicine!

Movement can:

👉 Increase circulation
👉 Increase lymphatic drainage
👉 Decrease swelling & water retention
👉 Decrease pain
👉 Boost immunity
👉 Boost energy
👉 Reduce stress
👉 Improve mood & hormonal balance
👉 Promote better sleep
👉 Boost metabolism
👉 Increase brain function
👉 Lower cholesterol
👉 Reduce symptoms of illness
👉 & SO much more!

🚶‍➡️🏃‍♀️‍➡️🚣‍♂️🏌🚴‍♀️🤸🤽‍♀️🧘👩‍🦽

Movement can encompass almost anything! Sports, walks, yoga, gentle stretching, hiking, mountain climbing, dancing, playing, & the list goes on! Pick your preferred method, but just MOVE! 🙌

🧘‍♀️ Do you ever wonder why your massage therapist tells you to stretch to relieve pain?

Stretching can:

👉 Release endorphins
👉 Boost circulation
👉 Increase flexibility & mobility
👉 Loosen tight muscles
👉 Reduce inflammation
👉 Re-align fibers & soft tissues to create balance

All of which REDUCE PAIN! 🙌

📚 Did you know there are many scientific studies proving that massage therapy can be an effective pain management tool? 🤓 It's true!

👉 Migraines & Headaches
👉 Muscle tension
👉 Delayed Onset Muscle Soreness (DOMS)
👉 Fibromyalgia
👉 Tendinitis
👉 Growing pains
👉 Joint pains
👉 Cancer pains
👉 General aches & pains

& so many more types of pain can be reduced with regular massage therapy. ❤️‍🩹

Be sure to let us know about any pain you are experiencing at your next appointment (and in your intake forms!)

👀 Did you know that there is NO EXTRA CHARGE for cupping treatments (when compared to a standard Therapeutic Massage with an RMT) ⁉️

Almost all of our RMT's offer cupping treatments! Be sure to click the "Therapeutic Massage with Cupping" option when booking to notify us of your interest!

Benefits of Cupping:
👉 Release fascial adhesions
👉 Improve circulation (blood, lymph, etc)
👉 Decrease pain
👉 Reduce inflammation
👉 Treat pinched nerves
👉 & more!

💆‍♀️ When cupping, we incorporate cups into our treatment in a way that essentially allows us to treat multiple areas at once - like an extra set of hands.

👀 You may have already noticed this friendly new face at the MTC clinic, but we wanted to take a moment to formally introduce you to our newest addition!

📢 This is Tori! She is our wonderful new Office Administrator, responsible for operations in both MTC and our studio, 😍

🗒 When Tori isn't working, she can usually be found in a thrift store or at home engaging in what her pr***en daughter refers to as, "activities of the elderly". Aka, crocheting, knitting, and making puzzles surrounded by her 2 cats and 2 dogs.

Welcome Tori!! We are so very excited to have you on our team!!

#

♥️ Don't worry, she's not dying! But she is moving, and while we are thrilled for her next adventure, we are also saddened that we will no longer get to see her smiling face every day! She really held us together here at MTC! 🥰♥️

👉 Today is Kayla's last day with us before she moves away, so if you do see her 👀 be sure to share your well wishes!

💅& if you want to keep up with her - be sure to check out her nail business page! She does nails, too! .nailstudio

🤩 THANK-YOU Kayla for bringing your very best self to work with us every single day. You are brilliant, powerful, organized, patient, authentic, and kind. Keep being YOU wherever you go, and you will absolutely thrive. 👋 FAREWELL KAYLA! We will miss you greatly!

🐕 Special shout-out to her adorable puppy dog, Loki, too!
