about this service
Therapeutic massage is a holistic approach to wellness, designed to promote relaxation, relieve muscle tension, and enhance overall health. Through the use of various techniques such as Swedish, deep tissue, and trigger point therapy, therapeutic massage targets specific areas of discomfort, alleviates stress, and improves circulation. Whether you're recovering from an injury or simply seeking relaxation, therapeutic massage can help restore balance to both the body and mind. With each session tailored to your individual needs, this personalized clinical treatment fosters a sense of well-being, reduces muscle stiffness, and improves mobility.

Increased Mobility and Range of Motion: Helps improve mobility by releasing superficial fascial restrictions.
Enhanced Posture: Can improve posture by addressing muscle imbalances in overused areas.
Faster Recovery: Aids in muscle recovery by reducing muscle fatigue and helping the body repair more efficiently.
Improved Sleep Quality: Can help improve sleep patterns by reducing anxiety and muscle discomfort.
Mental Clarity and Emotional Well-Being: Reduces mental fatigue and promotes emotional balance through rest.
Boosted Immune System: Can support the immune system by promoting lymphatic drainage and improving the body's ability to fight off illness.

Individuals Recovering from Injury: Supports healing by improving circulation, reducing muscle stiffness, and enhancing mobility during the recovery process.

how to best prepare?
Consult Your Doctor: If you have any medical conditions such as heart problems, high blood pressure, osteoporosis, recent surgery, or injuries, it's important to get clearance from your doctor before receiving manual therapy. Deep tissue does not equal pain, and structural changes in your tissue can exacerbate certain conditions.
Always inform your massage therapist about any pre-existing medical conditions, injuries, or medications you're taking to avoid any potential complications.
Drink plenty of water: Before your session to help your muscles stay hydrated, and after your session to help flush out toxins/metabolic waste released and prevent soreness.
Dress Comfortably: Wear loose, comfortable clothing, as you'll be invited to undress to a level that makes you comfortable. You’ll be draped underneath a sheet and blanket during the session, and we will work with your preferences to access areas of the body to be treated.
