Massage Therapy Sessions in Windsor
During a soft tissue and muscular massage therapy session at Cabana Chiropractic & Health Centre in Windsor, our doctor uses their hands as a diagnostic and therapeutic tool to assess the condition of your muscles, tendons, ligaments, and surrounding nerves. By carefully feeling for changes in texture, tightness, and mobility, she identifies areas of restriction or dysfunction that may be contributing to pain or limited movement.
Once abnormal tissues are located, we apply a combination of precisely directed tension and guided patient movements to help reduce discomfort and restore normal function. This process involves active stretching of the muscle while gentle, targeted pressure is applied to break down adhesions and release tightness between muscle layers. These adhesions often form due to injury, overuse, or poor posture and can interfere with healthy movement patterns.
The goal of this therapy is to improve flexibility, reduce discomfort, and promote optimal tissue health, allowing your body to move more freely and efficiently. Many patients find this technique beneficial for addressing chronic pain, sports injuries, and repetitive strain issues.

Fascial Stretch Technique
Fascial Stretch Technique (FST) is a gentle therapy technique that is designed to improve your flexibility, mobility, and overall function by targeting the fascia, the connective tissue that surrounds muscles, joints, and organs. Unlike traditional stretching, FST uses assisted, pain-free movements that are combined with traction to create space in the joints and elongate the fascia. This helps release tension caused by stress, injury, or poor posture, enhancing circulation and reducing tension throughout your body. Results can include immediate improvements in range of motion, reduced discomfort, and a greater sense of relaxation after a session.
Cranial Sacral Therapy
Cranial Sacral Therapy (CST) is a gentle, hands-on technique that focuses on the craniosacral system, which includes the membranes and cerebrospinal fluid surrounding the brain and spinal cord. By using this technique, our therapist helps release restrictions in your system, promoting better nervous system function and overall balance throughout the body. CST can provide relief from headaches, stress, chronic pain, and tension by encouraging the body’s natural healing processes. The experience can be deeply relaxing and restorative, making it an excellent complement to other wellness therapies.
Cupping
Cupping Therapy is an ancient healing practice that uses specially-designed cups to create gentle suction on the skin, increasing blood flow, loosening tight muscles, and encouraging the release of toxins from the body’s tissues. By lifting and separating layers of fascia and muscle, cupping can reduce pain, improve mobility, and promote overall relaxation. It can be beneficial for relieving tension, supporting recovery from injuries, and enhancing circulation.
