Services
Therapeutic Massage
Targeting pain patterns and musculoskeletal issues through customized techniques. Our therapists address conditions like fibromyalgia, migraines, and sports injuries using neuromuscular therapy and trigger point work. Sessions focus on improving mobility and reducing inflammation while maintaining client comfort through open communication about pressure levels. Ideal for clients seeking functional improvement rather than pure relaxation.
Deep Tissue Massage
Focused on chronic muscle tension through slow, deliberate strokes reaching deeper muscle layers. Combines myofascial release with cross-fiber friction to break up adhesions. Particularly effective for posture-related pain and repetitive strain injuries. Therapists adjust pressure based on client feedback, balancing therapeutic effectiveness with comfort during each session.
Prenatal Massage
Specially adapted sessions for expectant mothers after first trimester clearance. Utilizes side-lying positioning with pillow support to relieve back, neck, and hip tension. Avoids acupressure points that could stimulate contractions. Combines Swedish techniques with lymphatic drainage to reduce swelling and improve circulation, promoting overall comfort during pregnancy.
Sports Massage
Performance-focused treatments incorporating cupping, Graston technique, and active stretching. Designed to enhance athletic recovery and prevent injuries through targeted work on overused muscle groups. Sessions may include gait analysis and biomechanical assessments to address movement pattern imbalances specific to each client's sport or activity level.
Energy Work
Gentle five-gram pressure techniques promoting relaxation and emotional well-being. Utilizes craniosacral therapy and subtle touch to release myofascial restrictions. Addresses stress-related conditions and TMJ issues through non-invasive methods. Sessions emphasize mind-body connection, combining physical benefits with emotional release for holistic wellness outcomes.

Hydrate well before your appointment. Arrive 5 minutes early for paperwork. Share your session goals with your therapist and communicate about comfort levels during the session.

We provide receipts for insurance submission, but don't file claims directly. Check with your carrier about coverage details for therapeutic massage services.
How much pressure should I expect during my massage?
Pressure varies by individual tolerance. Communicate openly with your therapist about comfort levels using a 1-10 pain scale to ensure effective yet comfortable treatment.
