Our Services

At Evolution Bodywork & Massage, we specialize in a holistic approach to well-being, recognizing the interconnectedness of the physical, emotional, and energetic aspects of the human experience. Our skilled massage therapists utilize a diverse range of therapeutic techniques designed to alleviate tension, reduce stress, and promote overall physical and emotional balance.

We understand the profound impact daily routines and lifestyles can have on our bodies. Sitting for extended periods, commuting, and even engaging in regular exercise can contribute to the development of muscular patterns that lead to tension, pain, and discomfort. At Evolution Bodywork & Massage, we aim to help you identify and release these accumulated tensions, cultivate greater body awareness, and empower you with tools and techniques to modify these patterns.

• Deep Tissue Massage: This technique focuses on releasing chronic muscle tension and knots held in deeper layers of muscle and fascia, promoting relaxation and reducing pain.

• Myofascial Release: This gentle yet profound therapy aims to release fascial restrictions, improving mobility, flexibility, and reducing pain throughout the body.

• Geriatric Massage: This specialized massage approach gently addresses the unique needs of older adults, promoting circulation, easing arthritis pain, and improving overall comfort and mobility.
• Trigger Point Therapy: This modality focuses on releasing specific "trigger points" in muscles that can cause pain and tension radiating to other areas of the body.

• Acupressure: This ancient healing technique utilizes pressure point stimulation along meridian lines to restore balance, alleviate pain, and promote overall well-being.
