Field Trip Health - Massage

At Field Trip Health, we believe that offering a holistic wellness practice is key to any individual leading a healthy lifestyle. Massage therapy can be a crucial part of any holistic lifestyle, through manipulation of the body's soft tissues and reducing pain and muscle tension, stress and improving immune function. As our physical bodies carry our entire life experiences, healing and resolving psychological conditions also includes supporting the body to release what is held in the musculature and connective tissues. Our trauma-informed massage therapy allows our professionals to work with trauma responses such as "guarding" or "bracing", as well as other physical manifestations of emotional issues. These physical responses, which are a result of freeze-flight-flight reactions locked into the sympathetic nervous system, can be treated through massage by safely and gently release the chronic hyper-activation of the musculature. Overlooking the Granville Island ferry dock, Field Trip Health is an immersive health centre, designed with careful attention to natural light and plant life to promote a connection to nature and a careful attention to your own journey.
