Tianna Rice

Tianna Rice

Registered Massage Therapist

Read Bio

Tianna offers a unique Massage Therapy treatment called Neurofascial Reset (Think ART). RAPID Neurofascial Reset is an active, movement based technique that addresses the nervous system. It addresses pain, tension, and restrictions in muscles, tendons, ligaments, and fascia. Every session is a combination of examination and treatment. She uses her hands to evaluate the texture, tightness, and movement of muscles, fascia, tendons, ligaments, and nerves. Painful areas are treated by combining precise tension with very specific patient movements. It may be uncomfortable during the movement phase of treatment. This occurs as the neurological system is being stimulated to restore normal function and eliminate pain. Treating the body at the neurological level stimulates a reprogramming of the tissue. Tight muscles relax, range of motion is restored, and pain is eliminated. Neurofascial reset can help you get back to doing the things you love. Tianna also does General and Swedish massage, and can adjust pressure to suit your needs. This can include deep pressure. She grew up in Goulais River, which is just outside of Sault Ste. Marie, and went to school in London, ON. She moved to Thompson, Manitoba for her husbands work in 2020. He recently got his dream job flying for West Jet which has moved them back to Ontario. She had the opportunity to travel to Churchill, Manitoba to massage and that was an amazing experience. Seeing the north and being able to bring a much needed service to a remote community was very rewarding.
