This is copy I wrote for Body + Mind Sports Massage Therapy in Ottawa.
Rina, the owner and lead RMT at Body + Mind wanted the copy to convey that they are a clinic that has serious deep tissue massage services, but that the massages offered are also relaxing and beneficial to everyone, not just athletes. The focus was on rejuvenation and connecting the body and the mind.

Welcome to Body +Mind Sports Massage.
At Body + Mind we work to bring the body and mind into harmony by providing relaxing deep tissue massage to decrease stress through the release of tissue. Here relaxation and restoration for the body and mind go hand in hand as you enjoy a deep, corrective massage in a warm, inviting environment.
While we are specialists in deep tissue sports therapy massage we welcome new patients of all ages, athletes or non-athletes, those looking for relief from an injury or those simply looking for a restorative experience.
Deep tissue massage has many outstanding benefits, not only for athletes. The techniques we use can break down old scar tissue, relax tight, knotted muscles, and improve muscle length and stretch allowing for a fuller range of movement and comfort. There is something for everyone at Body + Mind.
About Us
Our Team
At Body + Mind our team of massage therapists consists of three talented and experienced professionals.
Rina McNairn – Owner
RMT and ART trained
Rina is an experienced and passionate massage therapist. She has been working as an RMT for over ten years since she started her professional career at a busy sports clinic in 2001. Since then she has had an incredibly meaningful experience volunteering on 2 medical treks in Nepal where she was constantly looking for new limits and challenges. This life-changing experience inspired her to open her own massage therapy business. Her dream came true in August of 2010 when she opened Body + Mind Massage with the manifest to bring a warm, healing experience to her clients.
Danielle Pratt
RMT and ART trained
Danielle was personally selected by Rina to join her team when opening Body + Mind Massage. Rina knew she was a perfect fit for the down-to-earth, professional environment of Body + Mind Massage from their years working together at a sports clinic.
Dana O’Brien
RMT
Rina and Dana first met when Dana came to her as a client a few years ago. Dana was inspired and encouraged by Rina to become a massage therapist. After Dana’s education and certification the women reconnected and Rina invited her to join the Body + Mind team. Dana is an asset to the Body + Mind team because of the passion and professionalism she brings to her clients.
Our Philosophy
Body + Mind Sports Massage uses a logo that features the Japanese Enso symbol which represents “ a moment when the mind is free to simply let the body/spirit create”. At our clinic we aim to relax the mind by releasing the tissue through deep massage techniques, creating a harmony between the body and mind. This is the basis for our approach to our practice.
We believe that when we relieve the pain, tightness, knots from your body it frees the mind to concentrate on more productive things. That’s why on top of our great massage techniques we provide a warm, inviting atmosphere where you can check your stress at the door. It is our hope that by the time you leave the clinic you will be able to face the world refreshed and balanced.
Services
Massage Experience
Atmosphere
The massage experience begins with a discussion. We want to know all about you and your body before we get to work. If you have injuries, areas of pain, discomfort, or stress we need to know so that we can give you the best massage possible to treat those symptoms. We also need to know if there are any special considerations or needs before we get started. It is a good idea to show up ten minutes early for your appointment so that we can have this discussion before the massage. Our number one priority is to provide a comfortable environment where you can let go and relax.
The massage will take place in a private room with your comfort in mind. Temperature, music, and lighting are all adjustable to ensure you are in the best environment to receive your massage.
Deep Tissue
We offer deep tissue massage using techniques that access muscles below the top muscles. These techniques are focused to relieve severe tension in the muscle and connective tissue. Deep tissue massage is recommended especially to those individuals who are regularly engaged in strenuous physical activity such as athletes, those with chronic pain, and those with physical injuries. But even if you are knotted, stressed or tight from everyday life deep tissue massage will do wonders for you.
The Massage
Once we get started the massage therapist will go slowly and work deeply into tissue to get at those trouble areas using fingertips, hands, knuckles, and sometimes elbows and forearms. Remembering to breath is important, especially deep breathing during tense areas. Communication is also critical during a massage. Let the therapist know when you feel soreness or pain outside of your comfort level. Often during your massage you will alternately experience moments of discomfort and relief.
The day after your massage it is common to feel a bit of muscle soreness but ultimately you will gain range in movement, feel less muscle tension, have less pain and be able to move on with your day feeling restored and energized.
