Massage
At Medi-club, our massage treatments are tailored to suit individual needs. Whether you are looking for complete relaxation, relief from deep muscle tension, support for an active lifestyle, or specialised pre- and post-natal care, our experienced therapists provide personalised treatments to help you feel restored and revitalised.
Relaxing Massage
A gentle, calming treatment designed to release tension, improve circulation, and promote deep relaxation for both body and mind.
Whether you are new to massage or simply need time to unwind, a relaxing massage is an ideal way to reconnect with your body. This gentle, full-body treatment uses slow, flowing movements and soothing pressure to calm the nervous system, quiet the mind, and release built-up tension—particularly in the neck, shoulders, and back.
This treatment isn’t about fixing or correcting; it’s about allowing your body to slow down, breathe, and soften. It helps ease you out of constant alertness and into a state of deep rest and relaxation.
Relaxing massage is especially well suited for those new to massage, and at Medi-club Clinic, you remain in control throughout your experience. From the moment you arrive, you can choose your music, select focus areas, and decide how much interaction you’d like with your therapist, ensuring a truly personalised and comfortable session.
Pregnancy Massage
A well-deserved maternity massage for expectant and new mothers.
Pregnancy is an exciting and deeply rewarding time, but it also places significant physical demands on the body. Carrying and caring for a growing baby can create tension, discomfort, and fatigue. Our soothing pregnancy massage is designed to support you during this unique journey, offering prenatal treatments during the second and third trimesters, as well as postnatal massage once your baby has arrived. All sessions are provided by therapists trained in pregnancy care.
This restorative treatment may include full-body massage or focused work on areas of tension, helping to relieve common aches and strains as your body adapts and changes. The massage is tailored to your comfort and individual needs at every stage.
At Medi-club Clinic, we aim to create a warm, calm, and supportive environment where expectant and new parents feel safe, relaxed, and truly cared for. We also offer a range of specialised options to ensure you feel fully supported during this important and transformative time.
Deep Tissue Massage
- Deep Tissue Massage
Our go-to treatment for releasing long-standing muscular tension, easing painful knots, and restoring comfortable, natural movement. Deep tissue massage targets tension at its source, helping to break down built-up stress in the muscles and bring the body back into balance.
Unlike relaxation-focused massage, deep tissue therapy uses slow, controlled strokes and firm pressure to reach the deeper layers of muscle and fascia. Your therapist works closely with your breathing and feedback to ensure the pressure is effective, therapeutic, and never overwhelming.
Benefits include:
- Relief from Pain and Tension: Helps ease chronic back pain, muscle tightness, and the effects of sports-related injuries.
- Faster Recovery and Improved Performance: Supports flexibility, promotes muscle repair, and helps prevent future injuries.
- Calm and Reset: Beyond physical relief, this treatment helps settle the nervous system and encourages deep relaxation.
- Improved Posture and Movement: Releases fascial restrictions, supports postural balance, and restores natural mobility.
Manual Lymphatic Drainage Massage Your body’s natural detox at Medi-club.
Detoxifying and stimulating, Manual Lymphatic Drainage (MLD) Massage is a gentle yet deeply therapeutic treatment designed to activate the lymphatic system. Through light, rhythmic movements, this specialised massage helps flush out toxins, reduce swelling, improve circulation, and support overall wellness.
Using soft, wave-like techniques, this treatment encourages natural detoxification, supports immune function, and may help reduce fluid retention. It is also commonly used to support post-surgery recovery and promote healing.

Whether it’s your first experience or part of your regular self-care routine, our expert therapists personalise every treatment to suit your body’s needs. From the moment you step into the clinic, you remain in control—choosing a quiet, restful experience or opting for guided insight throughout the session.

The lymphatic system does not have a natural pump like the heart—massage plays an essential role in keeping it functioning efficiently.
What to Expect During Your Lymphatic Drainage Massage
Manual Lymphatic Drainage feels very different from deep tissue or sports massage. Instead of firm pressure, the technique is light, flowing, and precise, designed to stimulate lymph flow without compressing blood vessels. Many clients describe the experience as deeply relaxing, meditative, and surprisingly powerful.
Focus areas typically include the neck, underarms, abdomen, legs, and face—where lymph nodes are most concentrated—to ensure effective drainage.
When you arrive at Medi-club, you’ll be invited to personalise your experience, from music and therapist interaction to oils, scents, and focus areas. You are always in control.
If you’re new to lymphatic drainage or massage, your therapist will guide you through every step, ensuring the treatment is tailored to your comfort and your body’s needs for maximum benefit.
Focus Area Massage
Precision care for targeted relief.
If you value attention to detail, this focused deep-tissue massage is designed just for you. Ideal for those short on time, it’s a powerful, targeted treatment that fits easily into a busy schedule—perfect for a quick reset between commitments.
This concentrated deep tissue massage is a go-to stress reliever, especially when time is limited. Whether you’re escaping the Montreal workday during your lunch break or need fast, effective relief, this treatment delivers focused results where you need them most.
The session targets specific areas such as the neck and shoulders, hands, feet, lower back, or any area under strain, helping to release tension from overworked muscles. Because every treatment is carefully customised, your therapist will tailor the session entirely to your needs—whether you’re seeking relief from neck pain, shoulder tension, lower back discomfort, or a focused back and neck massage. You’ll leave feeling physically refreshed and mentally rebalanced.
Sports Massage
Move better. Feel balanced. Perform at your best.
You don’t need to be an athlete to benefit from a sports massage. Whether you’re training intensely, recovering from an injury, or simply dealing with muscle tightness from everyday life, this treatment is designed to support movement, recovery, and long-term wellbeing.
Sports massage helps ease tension, improve mobility, prevent injury, and support recovery—even if you’ve never played a sport. Our expert therapists combine deep tissue techniques, dynamic stretching, and anatomy-based care, tailored to how your body actually moves.
Beyond relieving aches and tightness, your therapist will share practical mobility tips and aftercare advice to help you stay balanced and pain-free long after your session ends. At Medi-club, sports massage is adapted to your lifestyle, training level, and recovery needs—whatever your background.

Swedish Massage
Classic relaxation for body and mind.
Swedish massage at Medi-club is a traditional form of massage therapy designed to promote deep relaxation and improve circulation. Using gentle, flowing strokes, this treatment soothes the muscles, eases tension, and creates a calming, restorative experience.
Unlike deep tissue or sports massage—which focus on addressing specific injuries or muscle knots—Swedish massage is all about relaxation, helping you feel refreshed, rebalanced, and renewed.
Key Techniques Used in Swedish Massage
- Effleurage: Long, gliding strokes directed toward the heart to warm the muscles, enhance circulation, and ease tension. Often used at the beginning and end of the session.
- Petrissage: Kneading and lifting techniques that help release tension in commonly tight areas such as the neck, shoulders, and back.
- Friction: Circular movements that generate warmth, stimulate circulation, and help improve flexibility.
- Tapotement: Rhythmic tapping or percussive movements that energise the muscles and awaken the body.
- Vibration: Gentle shaking or vibrating motions that help soothe the nervous system and release lingering tension.
Benefits of Swedish Massage
- Promotes deep relaxation: Calms the nervous system, reduces stress, and creates a sense of tranquillity.
- Improves circulation: Enhances blood flow, supporting oxygen and nutrient delivery to muscles and tissues.
- Eases muscle tension: Helps reduce stiffness, improve mobility, and relieve everyday muscular discomfort.
- Reduces pain: Supports relief from chronic soreness and mild muscular pain through improved circulation.
- Enhances mood and wellbeing: Encourages relaxation, boosts mental clarity, and supports overall emotional balance.
Active Isolated Stretching (AIS)
Active Isolated Stretching is a dynamic, movement-based stretching technique widely used by athletes, therapists, and movement professionals. During the session, your therapist guides you through targeted stretches that isolate specific muscles, holding each stretch for just two seconds and repeating the movement in controlled cycles to gradually improve muscle length and flexibility.
Unlike traditional static stretching, AIS works in harmony with the body’s natural physiology. By avoiding the stretch reflex—which can cause muscles to tighten rather than release—this method promotes safe, effective, and long-lasting improvements in mobility and range of motion.
Who Is Active Isolated Stretching For?
- Stiffness caused by desk work, stress, or training
- Enhancing athletic performance and speeding up recovery
- Reducing injury risk by keeping muscles supple
- Supporting rehabilitation after injury or surgery
- Improving posture and overall mobility
What to Expect
During an AIS session, your therapist gently assists you through precise, active stretches. You actively engage the muscle opposite the one being stretched, holding each stretch briefly before releasing. Over multiple repetitions, this approach improves circulation, restores elasticity, and enhances functional movement in a controlled and comfortable way.
