Massage Therapy
Massage therapy produces a number of beneficial effects on the human body and psyche. Not only does it restore the mind/body balance, it has been proven to enhance the flow of blood, lymph, lactic acid, and other fluid buildup for processing while expediting the elimination of metabolic waste and other bodily toxins. It can help restore the body’s own intrinsic ability to fight disease and disorder. Many clients report better sleep and wake patterns, more general energy, and a continued state of comfort post-massage as well. Bodywork of this nature also works to breakdown built up connective and/or scar tissue throughout the body, which can restore freedom of movement, especially when applied over time in multiple sessions. Many clients first seek massage for a discomfort in their body, but continue throughout their lives to receive bodywork when they realize the benefits they can achieve with a simple session from time to time. So wherever you are at on the spectrum of having had bodywork, or not, we’re here with hands to help.

Biomechanical consulting with an eye toward individualized client goals. For example, increasing range of motion of a particular joint or body part or achieving pain relief naturally between massage therapy sessions with some targeted stretches or gentle calisthenic movement directives. Other typical goals include better sleep quality, freedom of movement in daily activities, and an enhanced quality of life centered around best biological practices, social supports, and reactivation of the parasympathetic nervous system (i.e the “rest and relaxation” mode).
Evaluation of client range of motion and related restrictions, muscular and tissue composition, anatomical posturing and informal gait assessment. Sessions include discussions around daily activities and restrictions to such, like sleep quality, nutrition, exercise, and mind-body connection.
These sessions are perfect for clients who always wish they knew a little more after their massage is done whether it was about the human body itself or about their human body, that day. If you have ever found yourself in the position of dealing with ongoing pain or discomfort or were just curious about what your therapist is consistently finding, objectively, in your body when you think you are relaxed on the table, but you keep coming back the next time with the same pain point–then this is the spot for you! Ask all the questions you want! We have poured twenty-five years into researching the self-care field across the world and we aim to curate the best resources and references you need to thrive for life.
These sessions work well in conjunction with a massage appointment, or just recently after, as the massage itself is often a telling piece of the puzzle and therefore, and important part of the assessment process for the therapist to provide you with the best holistic advice.
