Frequently asked questions

Where is Lari Thérapie located in Montreal?

Lari Thérapie is located in the heart of Montreal and offers massage therapy treatments in a calm, professional and welcoming environment.

What types of massage do you offer?

We offer several specialized treatments tailored to your needs:

  • Lymphatic Flows Massage: A gentle massage designed to stimulate lymphatic circulation, reduce swelling and support the body's natural detoxification.
  • Brazilian Sculpt - Remodeling Drainage: A technique inspired by Brazilian methods combining lymphatic drainage and body contouring to help define the silhouette.
  • Manual Lymphatic Drainage: A therapeutic approach that supports fluid circulation, reduces water retention and supports the immune system.
  • Relaxation Massage: A full-body relaxing massage aimed at reducing stress, calming the mind and promoting deep well-being.
  • Therapeutic Massage: A targeted massage to relieve muscle tension, chronic pain and discomfort related to stress or posture.

What are the benefits of lymphatic drainage?

Lymphatic drainage can help to:

  • reduce water retention
  • decrease swelling and heavy-leg sensation
  • improve lymphatic circulation
  • promote relaxation
  • support the body's natural detoxification process

Many clients in Montreal also seek this treatment after cosmetic surgery or for general wellness.

What is the difference between lymphatic drainage and Brazilian Sculpt?

Lymphatic drainage uses a gentle approach focused on fluid circulation and reducing swelling.

Brazilian Sculpt uses more dynamic and targeted movements to promote a contouring effect and a more defined silhouette.

Can therapeutic massage help with muscle pain?

Yes. Therapeutic massage is often used for:

  • muscle tension
  • neck and lower back pain
  • accumulated stress
  • muscle stiffness
  • discomfort related to office work or physical activities

Each session is adapted to your needs and comfort level.

How many sessions are recommended?

The number of sessions varies according to your goals.

Some people book an occasional massage to relax, while others choose regular sessions to maintain wellness or support specific goals.

Are results visible immediately?

Many clients feel from the first session:

  • a lighter sensation
  • reduced tension
  • deep relaxation
  • temporary reduction in swelling or water retention

Results may vary from one person to another.

Does Brazilian Sculpt help with weight loss?

Brazilian Sculpt is not a weight-loss treatment.

It can, however, help temporarily improve body contour appearance and reduce water retention when combined with healthy lifestyle habits.

Are massages painful?

Our treatments are adapted to your comfort and tolerance.

Therapeutic or sculpting massage may be deeper in certain areas, but pressure is always adjusted according to your preferences.

What should I wear during the session?

Comfortable clothing is recommended.

Depending on the treatment, only the areas being worked on are uncovered, always with full respect for your privacy and comfort.

Should I drink water after the massage?

Yes. Good hydration after your session is strongly recommended to support recovery and the body's natural drainage process.

Are there any contraindications?

Some treatments may not be recommended in specific situations, including:

  • fever or infection
  • phlebitis or thrombosis
  • recent surgery
  • severe heart conditions
  • high-risk pregnancy
  • active medical treatment requiring professional advice

If in doubt, it is best to consult a healthcare professional.
