Services
Deep Tissue Massage
Targets chronic muscle tension through focused pressure on deeper tissue layers. This technique addresses postural imbalances, repetitive strain injuries, and scar tissue adhesions. Combines cross-fiber friction with sustained pressure to release chronic knots and improve mobility in affected areas.
Sports Massage
Enhances athletic performance through injury prevention and recovery techniques. Focuses on muscle flexibility, range of motion improvement, and injury rehabilitation. Incorporates facilitated stretching and positional release to address sport-specific stress points and movement patterns.
Orthopedic Rehab
Specialized treatment for musculoskeletal injuries and post-surgical recovery. Addresses conditions like herniated discs, tendonitis, and nerve compression through targeted soft tissue manipulation. Combines neuromuscular therapy with corrective stretching to restore normal tissue function and joint mobility.
Trigger Point Therapy
Focuses on eliminating hyperirritable muscle spots causing referred pain. Applies sustained pressure to deactivate trigger points that contribute to chronic tension headaches, neck pain, and myofascial pain syndromes. Integrates with other massage techniques to achieve lasting muscle relaxation.
Prenatal Massage
Provides comfort during pregnancy through specialized positioning and gentle techniques. Addresses common discomforts like sciatic nerve pain, edema, and postural strain. Uses side-lying positioning with supportive cushions to ensure safety and comfort during all trimesters.

Sessions range from 30 to 90 minutes. Most clients schedule one-hour appointments for comprehensive treatment, with additional time available for focused work on specific problem areas.
