Services
Myofascial Release
This specialized technique targets connective tissue restrictions causing chronic pain. By applying sustained pressure to fascial layers, it restores mobility and alleviates discomfort from conditions like fibromyalgia and sports injuries. Kristy's advanced training with John Barnes ensures precise application of this evidence-based method. Clients receive personalized home care instructions to maintain treatment benefits between sessions.
Neuromuscular Therapy
Focusing on muscle trigger points that cause referred pain, this modality improves circulation and reduces chronic tension. Effective for headaches, postural imbalances, and repetitive strain injuries, it combines deep tissue work with postural analysis. Sessions include education on ergonomic adjustments to prevent future discomfort.
Prenatal Massage
Specially adapted treatments support expectant mothers through physical changes while promoting relaxation. Positions and pressure points are carefully selected to address pregnancy-related discomforts like sciatica and edema. The therapy enhances maternal well-being while creating a nurturing environment for fetal development through improved circulation.
Hot Stone Therapy
Smooth, heated basalt stones from Lake Superior enhance muscle relaxation by penetrating deep tissue layers. The controlled heat increases blood flow, reduces muscle spasms, and creates profound relaxation. This technique combines Swedish massage strokes with strategic stone placement for optimal therapeutic benefit.
Chair Massage
Portable chair sessions deliver stress relief in workplace settings through focused upper body work. Short 10-15 minute sessions improve circulation and reduce tension in office environments. Employers use this service to boost employee morale and prevent work-related musculoskeletal disorders through regular preventive care.

Questions
What makes myofascial release different from regular massage?
Myofascial release specifically targets connective tissue restrictions using sustained pressure rather than just muscle manipulation, addressing chronic pain patterns at their source.
Do you accept insurance for massage therapy?
While we don't bill insurance directly, we can provide documentation for potential reimbursement through flexible spending accounts or health savings plans.
Can I request a specific therapist?
Kristy Marie is the sole practitioner at our facility, ensuring consistent, personalized care from a highly experienced therapist.
What should I wear during sessions?
Clients remain fully clothed for myofascial release work, while draping techniques maintain comfort and privacy during traditional massage therapies.
How often should I schedule appointments?
Treatment frequency depends on individual needs - acute conditions may require weekly sessions while maintenance plans typically range from biweekly to monthly visits.
Do you offer gift certificates?
Yes, customizable gift certificates for massage sessions and packages are available through our online scheduler with instant digital delivery options.
