The White Birch
Meet your health-care team!
Our Services
Massage Therapy
Registered massage therapists (RMTs) follow the rules and regulations determined by the CMTO, including our scope of practice, which states:
​
"The practice of massage therapy is the assessment of the soft tissue and joints of the body and the treatment and prevention of physical dysfunction and pain of the soft tissues and joints by manipulation to develop, maintain, rehabilitate or augment physical function, or relieve pain."
​
Massage therapy has a therapeutic effect on the body and improves health and well being by acting on the muscular, nervous and circulatory systems. Physical function can be developed, maintained and improved and physical dysfunction and pain can be relieved or prevented through the use of massage therapy.
*Please note, we do not offer couples massage as healthcare professionals*
Acupuncture
Contemporary Medical Acupuncture is a precise peripheral nerve stimulation technique, in which fine solid needles are inserted into anatomically defined neurofunctional sites. These points can be stimulated manually or with electricity for the therapeutic purpose of modulating abnormal activity of the nervous system. It can be added into your appointment as an addition to massage therapy treatment. Acupuncture can be used in the treatment of: sports related injuries and other movement disorders, musculoskeletal pain problems, chronic pain, and stress related problems.
​
Acupuncture performed at The White Birch is billed under “Massage Therapy” for insurance plans.

Cupping
We use a modern style of plastic cups at The White Birch, that are strategically placed on the body. We can leave them on for various amounts of time during a treatment, move them around or dedicate a 30 minute treatment session solely to cupping. We use dry cupping only and do not heat our cups. Suction is created within the cup using a special tool.
​
Cupping causes a very strong circulatory response. Old blood vessels are destroyed and new ones created promoting healing to the area.

Indie Head Massage
Indie Head Massage is used to reduce stress and improves tissue health and circulation. Techniques are aimed at promoting relaxation while effectively easing muscle pain. It is especially useful in treating migraines, sinus inflammation and anxiety. It has a balancing effect on the nervous system and it helps to release stress and tension creating a sense of peace.
Please note: Indie head massage involves oil being poured directly on the scalp, leaving hair and scalp covered in oil. We do NOT have shower facilities at the clinic so please plan accordingly.
