About Tina Thelen

Tina Thelen, a licensed massage therapist and national board certified, has been dedicated to providing exceptional massage experiences since graduating from the Therapeutic Massage Program at Lansing Community College in 2011. During her time in school, Tina gained valuable experience through internships with the Michigan State athletes, focusing on sports massage, and with a nursing home, where she developed her relaxation techniques and provided emotional support to residents.

After completing her education, Tina worked with Bilky Joda-Miller at All Body Kneads for four years, refining her clinical expertise and learning from a former President of the Michigan Board of Massage Therapist. This experience prepared her to open her own practice, Westphalia Clinical Massage, where she continues to offer her clients a unique blend of relaxation and clinical massage techniques.

Our Services

At Westphalia Clinical Massage, we offer a variety of massage services designed to cater to your specific needs and preferences. From relaxation-focused Swedish Massage to the more intense Deep Tissue Massage, we have something for everyone.

• Swedish Massage: This is the most common and well-known type of massage. It involves long, fluid strokes of muscles and tissues with pressure that varies from light to medium to firm. This type of massage is considered to be one of the most relaxing styles, and the pressure will be adjusted according to your sensitivity and preference.

• Deep Tissue Massage: This is a deeper, more intense massage. This technique uses slow, deep guided strokes and firm pressure designed to relieve severe tension and reach below the superficial muscles. Deep Tissue Massage is often recommended for individuals who experience consistent pain and soreness in both large and small muscle groups.

• Sports Massage: A no-nonsense massage that aims to stretch tight muscles, stimulate inactive muscles, and improve soft tissue condition. Sports Massage can enable you to move your body more freely with more flexibility and, in time, can improve your posture. As the name suggests, it is popular with sports people, as it enhances performance, assists recovery, and prevents injury. These are benefits we can all enjoy.

• Trigger Point Massage: Trigger points are sore, painful spots that occur in a muscle. Most people refer to trigger points as knots. They are called trigger points because they "trigger" a painful response that often refers pain to different parts of your body. Trigger Point Massage uses concentrations of finger pressure on each trigger point to prevent cycles of muscle pain and spasms. Trigger Point Massage provides benefits after just one session.

• Pre-Natal Massage: Prenatal Massage is a nurturing massage that focuses on the special needs of mothers-to-be during pregnancy. Positioning, pillows, and cushions are used to enhance support, decrease pressure, and increase relaxation for both body and mind. Mother and baby share in the benefits as stress and tension melt away, leaving you feeling balanced and energized. Relief of stress on feet, ankles, low back, and neck, as well as reducing swelling, are all benefits of a Prenatal Massage. At Westphalia Clinical Massage, prenatal massage is only performed after the first trimester. It is advised that you consult with your doctor to see if prenatal massage is right for you. Additional restrictions may apply.
