Vivica is a student RMT currently enrolled in Alberta Collage of Massage Therapy’s 2200hr program and set to graduate by June of 2024!
As a student and more than half way through her final year of schooling, Vivica realized that she wanted to start building a reputation in a clinic outside of school.
Previously a competitive wrestler at the UofA, Vivica understands the important relationship between the mind and body and works at reconnecting the two through her treatments. Vivica’s main focus is to give her clients a safe space to rest and restore, while at the same time using the most effective techniques to help create the best treatment for those she treats.
With experience of being an athlete, Vivica strives to help her clients build a happier and healthy life by promoting self-care and activity as all of this together is what leads to best treatment results!
Outside of massage therapy, Vivica enjoys spending time with family, being outdoors, and practicing yoga, as well as spending nights in and enjoying her favourite show with her partner!

Relaxation Treatments: A lighter pressure is applied to muscles in the direction of blood flow to the heart, but not as much pressure as in a deep tissue massage. It works by increasing circulation, gently stretches tendons and ligaments, and engages our nervous, lymphatic, & digestive systems. This results in whole-body and mind relaxation, stress reduction, improved circulation, improved sleep and a boost to the immune system.
Therapeutic/Deep Tissue Treatments: Pressure is decided pre-treatment with your therapist. These treatments can create a temporary pain response with the release of lactic acid however, this pain should be manageable throughout treatment. The therapist’s movements are against the grain of the muscle to loosen muscles and soft tissue. This deeper pressure relaxes muscles, lowers blood pressure, helps break up scar tissue & trigger points, and helps relieve side effects of chronic stress.
Myofascial cupping is a soft tissue therapy that involves the application of decompressed cups on the skin, creating a vacuum effect that lifts up underlying tissues such as the fascia (connective tissue) & muscles. This action promotes fresh blood flow to those congested areas of the body which helps to flush out toxins, alleviate pain, improve range of motion, & decrease stiffness.
We have amazing results with cupping and encourage all of our clients to inquire with their therapist about adding this to their next treatment!
Reflexology is a form of massage with roots that go back to ancient Chinese medicine. The technique used relies upon a map of the feet, which identifies pressure points that correspond to certain organs and muscles in the body. This can be used to stimulate the endocrine and nervous system to begin the healing process
re & post-natal massage can help reduce stress, decrease symptoms of depression, relieve muscle aches and joint pain, and improve labor outcomes. Pre & post natal massages can also help regulate hormone levels, help blood circulation, and reduce swelling.
If you are unsure if pre or post natal treatments are the right fit for you, please consult with your doctor. Muscle Mechanics is here to answer any additional questions you may have.
Lymphatic drainage massage relieves swelling that happens when medical treatment or illness blocks your lymphatic system. This specialized approach focuses on the lymphatic system, which is part of the immune system. Lymphatic massage aims to help the body maintain proper blood circulation, body fluid balance, immune functions and decreases swelling.
Keeping our bodies hydrated pre & post treatment will keep our tissue and muscles soft, allow for more pliability, promote better results, and help our immune system to flush out any toxins in the body post treatment.
EPSOM salt minerals in a detox bath help to remove toxins from the body, such as lactic acid from our muscles, relieve stress, reduce muscle soreness, reduce joint pain, and soothe irritated skin.
Ice/cold baths can be uncomfortable but hold a lot of benefit. Ice baths promotes neural and cardiovascular system recovery, promote a shorter recovery time post exercise, faster resolution of soft tissue injuries, reduces fatigue lowering the risk of injury, and treats muscle joint soreness, strain and inflammation.

Cavitation & Cryolipolysis tone the body using radio frequencies and low-frequency ultrasonic waves, heat and/or cold. These waves form bubbles around fat deposits under the skin. The bubbles then burst, breaking the fat deposits into the interstitial and the lymphatic systems where they are drained. The fat deposits are changed into glycerol and free fatty acids. Glycerol is then reused by the body while free fatty acids travel to the liver and are excreted as waste.
Results of these treatments are permanent, as long as you maintain a healthy diet and exercise. If you have a sedentary lifestyle, fat deposits are more likely to return to areas that have been treated.
Clients see immediate results and will continue to see results in the reduction of fat & body shaping for up to 72 hours following the treatment. The body requires three days to properly eliminate the fat and toxins after a treatment, day three is when clients see the best results.
This is to ensure the body utilizes the triglycerides (a type of body fat) that is released by the fat cavitation and/or cryolipolysis process. Carbohydrates & sugar bind to the free floating dead fat cells which "wakes up" the fat cell giving it energy. This fat cell is more likely to fall back into a fat cell pocket to be stored as energy for the body.
