What Sets Us Apart

Our Registered Massage Therapists use techniques to help improve circulation, neutralize muscular tension, relieve pain, reduce stress and promote health and well-being. The greatest benefit comes from prevention. Through a combination of massage and stretching techniques, a Massage Therapist can enhance the training and performance of athletes and the comfort and health of everyone. Because massage therapy directly influences muscle tissue, it has the ability to keep muscles flexible and reduces the formation of fibrotic tissue, thus avoiding the negative effects you may get from muscle tightness.

The home program includes working with you to find an effective, sustainable self-care strategy to help achieve/maintain your treatment goals

Myofascial Release

Fascia is the thin fiber that covers muscles, bones, and organ. Often from injury, surgery or even emotional trauma, the fascia can become tense and stuck together.

Myofascial Release is a technique that frees tension in the fascia to restore normal function. It does not require oils or lotions and can go into deep muscle tissues. Most patients will notice a positive change as the fascia is returned to its normal state.
