Massage Therapy Services 
  
Massage therapy mainly consists of hands-on manipulation of the body’s soft tissue, with an emphasis on muscles, connective tissue, tendons, ligaments and joints. 

Unici Santé offers different massage techniques focusing on injury prevention, recovery, and relaxation. Some of these techniques can be applied to sports related injuries and be focused on athletes who either want to prevent or who are recovering from a sports injury.

Other technics include services for women during different stages of their pregnancy, and kinesitherapy (kinesiotherapy), which focuses on treatments using passive and active muscular movements.

Massage types offered also include:

Swedish massage:
