Marie Arcand, RMT
At the heart of Marie’s massage therapy practice is her comprehension and appreciation for the human body’s ability to rejuvenate and heal. Creating a supportive space and tailoring each treatment session to encourage these processes are her goals.
Through listening, assessment and evaluation of their particular conditions, Marie develops a treatment plan for each client. Her treatment sessions include a combination of manual techniques :
muscle energy technique, swedish, myofascial release, passive stretching, joint mobilization, neuromuscular technique; continuous re-evaluation through palpation, passive range of motion, landmarking and muscle length test; techniques that encourage the reduction of stress (emotional, physical) and relaxation of the nervous system; complementary home-care advise, postural education, stretch/strengthen exercises and hydrotherapy.
Marie’s education, experience and commitment constitute the base of her work to which she adds her friendly demeanour and compassionate care; she welcomes clients of all ages. Her life is rich in her experiences as a mother, teacher, visual artist, organic gardener, yoga practitioner and outdoors seeker with a constant curiosity for natural healing, healthy lifestyle and body-mind-spirit balance.
As well as a general practice in a multidisciplinary clinic, Marie has developed special interests in:
• treating women before, during and after pregnancy
• treatment of TMJ, neck pain, headaches, backaches
