Angie Wells

Angie Wells is a Registered Massage Therapist that graduated with honours from the Canadian Therapeutic College in 2009.

Her approach to massage is thoughtful, therapeutic and individualized. Rather than simply focusing on where something hurts, Angie looks at the bigger picture — how you move, where your body is holding tension, and what may be contributing to the discomfort or restriction you’re experiencing.

Whether you’re dealing with an injury, persistent muscle tension, headaches, pregnancy-related discomfort, swelling or simply feeling the physical effects of a busy and stressful season, Angie meets you where you are and adapts each treatment to what your body needs that day.

An Individualized Approach to Massage Therapy

Angie draws from more than 15 years of clinical experience and a range of therapeutic techniques, including Swedish massage, myofascial release, trigger point therapy, muscle energy techniques and stretching.

She commonly supports people experiencing:

• Neck, shoulder and back tension
• Headaches related to muscle tension
• Sciatica
• Sports and overuse injuries
• Muscle strains and sprains
• Restricted mobility and persistent muscle tightness
• Pregnancy-related aches and discomfort
• Swelling following injury or surgery
• Stress and nervous system tension

Her treatments can range from more focused therapeutic work to gentler, restorative care depending on your needs, comfort and goals.

Manual Lymph Drainage

Angie has additional training in Manual Lymph Drainage (MLD), a gentle, rhythmic technique that supports the movement of lymphatic fluid throughout the body.

MLD uses much lighter pressure than traditional massage and may be used to support swelling and fluid congestion, recovery following certain injuries or surgeries, and overall lymphatic circulation. Its slow, gentle nature can also make it an especially calming treatment for people who need a softer approach to bodywork.

Craniosacral Therapy

Angie also incorporates Craniosacral Therapy, a gentle, light-touch form of bodywork designed to encourage relaxation and reduce areas of tension.

This approach can be particularly well suited to people who prefer lighter pressure, are experiencing persistent tension or stress, or simply find that their body responds best to a slower, gentler style of treatment.

Care That Meets You Where You Are

There are times when your body needs focused therapeutic work — and others when what you need most is the opportunity to slow down, release some of the tension you’ve been carrying and give your body space to settle.

Angie brings both approaches to her treatments.

Her goal is for you to leave feeling more comfortable, more mobile and genuinely cared for, with treatment that supports both how your body feels today and how you want it to function moving forward.

Angie also offers pregnancy massage, and sports massage.

Registered Massage Therapy with Angie is available at The Root Natural Health Clinic in Port Credit, Mississauga.
