What Clients Say About Us
This is like Magic!
I've been to see Chantel at Performance Bodyworks three times now over the past couple of months. I can't even begin to describe the magic she is able to do-- through her stretch therapy, she is able to release all the tension I have in the different parts of my body so I am able to walk out of her office feeling a million times better and less stressed than when I initially walked in. I'm able to achieve with her what I have never been able to achieve even with the deepest of deep tissue massages. If you have chronic tension/pain/knots, I would highly recommend you go to Performance Bodyworks for a stretch therapy session ASAP.

Enjoying greater mobility!
I have begun stretch therapy with Chantel to assist with chronic knee pain. She was able to suggest some ways to help and I enjoyed greater mobility after the appointment.

How does Massage work?
Massage works by stimulating the muscles and tissues under the skin. This stimulation promotes healing, reduces stress and tension, and improves circulation. Massage also helps to flush toxins from the body and improve joint mobility.
If you are like most people, you probably think of massage as a luxurious treat that you enjoy every once in a while. And you’re right – massage is definitely great for helping you to relax and feel pampered. But massage is also great for your body in other ways. Here are just a few of the many benefits of massage:
1. Massage helps to relieve pain and tension.
If you are suffering from pain or tension, massage can help to ease that discomfort. The pressure and movement of the massage can help to loosen tight muscles and knots, and the soothing effects of the massage can help to reduce inflammation and pain.
2. Massage helps to improve circulation.
Poor circulation can lead to a variety of health problems, including pain, fatigue, and even infection. Massage helps to improve circulation by stimulating the flow of blood and lymphatic fluid. This increased circulation can help to reduce inflammation, speed up the healing process, and improve overall health.
3. Massage helps to improve flexibility.
If you’re not as flexible as you’d like to be, massage can help. The gentle stretching that takes place during a massage can help to loosen tight muscles and increase flexibility. This can lead to an increased range of motion and reduced pain and stiffness.
4. Massage helps to improve posture.
Bad posture can lead to a number of problems, including back pain, neck pain, and even headaches. Massage can help to improve your posture by realigning the muscles and joints that are out of alignment. This can lead to greater comfort and less pain, as well as a more confident appearance.
5. Massage helps to improve sleep quality.
If you’re having trouble sleeping, massage may be the solution. The relaxing effects of massage can help to calm the mind and body, promoting more restful sleep. In addition, massage can help to relieve stress and anxiety, which are often the root causes of insomnia.
6. Massage is great for your skin.
Massage is not just good for your muscles and joints – it’s also great for your skin. The gentle massage strokes can help to improve blood circulation, which in turn helps to keep your skin healthy and looking young. Plus, the moisturizing effects of massage oil can help to keep your skin hydrated and soft.
So as you can see, massage has a lot to offer. If you’re looking for a way to improve your health and wellbeing, massage may be the answer. Contact us today to book a session and start enjoying the many benefits of massage.
