Massage Therapy
Answer to the often asked question about scheduling a massage:
If you have a chronic condition, specific areas of strain and tension, or do a very physically demanding job, consider scheduling a message every one to three weeks. For general tune-ups, consider scheduling a massage every four to six weeks. If you're still unsure how often to get a massage, consider scheduling a consultation appointment.

Deep Tissue Massage
Deep tissue massage targets chronic tension in muscles that lie far below the body’s surface. When there is chronic muscle tension or injury, there are usually adhesions (bands of painful, rigid tissue) in muscles, tendons, and ligaments. Adhesions can block circulation and cause pain, limited movement, and inflammation. Deep tissue massage works by physically breaking down these adhesions to relieve pain and restore normal movement. Deep muscle techniques involve slow strokes, direct pressure or friction movements that go across the muscle grain.
