Questions
What makes your deep tissue massage different from standard spa massages?
Our proprietary 'point of inception' technique targets specific muscle adhesions causing chronic pain, combining myofascial release and trigger point therapy for lasting relief rather than temporary relaxation.
Do you offer treatments for non-athletes?
Yes, we treat posture-related pain from computer work, parenting, and daily activities using the same specialized techniques that benefit athletes.
How often should I schedule massage sessions?
For general wellness, monthly sessions are recommended. Athletes training for events may benefit from weekly sessions to optimize recovery and performance.
What should I expect during my first appointment?
A comprehensive intake process will assess your specific needs, followed by a customized treatment plan integrating multiple therapeutic techniques tailored to your physical condition and goals.
Do you accept insurance or offer package deals?
We offer discounted package pricing for multiple sessions. While we don't bill insurance directly, we can provide documentation for potential reimbursement.
