Chantal clearly knows what she's doing! She is an expert with sports injuries and I'm sure some of that comes from her being a fitness competitor herself. I came in for an emergency deep tissue massage for my shoulders, which had been incurably sore for 3 days - and I felt back to 100% within an hour of the massage! This almost never happens for me. I am very sensitive and usually find that sports massage therapists use way too much pressure and leave me feeling even more sore.
Chantal used just the right amount of pressure and even used some of the successful techniques I've had in physiotherapy. She listened to me and did everything I wanted and avoided the things I said I didn't want. As an added bonus, she uses an arnica-based gel - which helps reduce inflammation at the site (she explained this would help me walk away with less pain - and it did) - and it did not make my skin feel greasy or oily, nor did it get into my hair.
I left feeling awesome and have already booked my next appointment.
