The therapies at River Stone Massage & Wellness Centre directly address what’s known as allostatic load.

Allostatic load is the physiological consequences of exposure to repeated or chronic stress.

We aim to reverse these physiological changes, and ultimately reset the ability to cope with stress. Energy levels will increase dramatically once your body is in balance and the allostatic load is relieved. This is the aim of River Stone Massage Therapy & Wellness Centre’s integrative approach to wellness.

Benefits of Regular Massage Therapy

Massage has been shown to reduce anxiety and improve your ability to handle stress. Some of the benefits of massage include:
• better sleep
• fewer headaches
• less fatigue
• better posture
• more satisfying work/life balance
• reduced pain
• faster healing time
• less tension and muscle soreness

What to expect at River Stone Massage Therapy & Wellness Centre

When you call to book your massage, we can discuss your specific health needs, and pair you with a Registered Massage Therapist who meets your unique therapeutic needs. Our fully trained RMT’s ensure that you are comfortable at all stages of your massage treatment. This includes an initial private consultation to discuss your health and massage therapy needs. After your massage, your therapist will recommend a treatment course that will include a maintenance program, and mild stretches you can do at home to prolong the effects of your massage therapy treatment.

Bookings and Cancellations

A note to everyone who is looking to book… many days book up quickly—especially the weekends—so please make sure you call us well in advance to get your preferred time. Please note: We can longer accept WaySpa and SpaFinder gift certificates.

We do require a credit card to be on file to secure your booking. We do not charge your treatment to this card. The information is simply because when we have a booking and our staff is ready and waiting, a no-show is a major disruption to our day. Thus, we reserve the right to charge for missed appointments. If you cannot give us a credit card we can also accept a $50 e-transfer deposit.

Please read our cancellation policy for more details.
