Licensed Specialists

Our team specializes in therapeutic, clinical, and medical massage techniques.

Accelerated Healing

Our Specialized Massage Services

Targeted Techniques for Every Body

We offer a diverse range of modalities to meet your specific physical needs.

Zarett Deep Tissue Massage

The ultimate recovery tool for athletes and those with chronic tension. This technique focuses on realigning deeper layers of muscles and connective tissue to break down adhesions and restore mobility.

Manual Lymphatic Drainage (MLD)

A specialized, gentle technique used to encourage the movement of lymph fluids around the body. Highly effective for post-surgical swelling, lymphedema management, and detoxifying the system.

Swedish Massage

Focuses on full-body relaxation and increasing blood oxygen levels. Perfect for general wellness, reducing cortisol, and improving overall circulation.

Prenatal Massage

Tailored specifically to the needs of expectant mothers. We focus on relieving the unique aches, pains, and swelling associated with pregnancy in a safe, comfortable environment.

Massage Cupping

An ancient technique with a modern clinical twist. Using suction to pull tissue upward, cupping helps increase blood flow, release "stuck" fascia, and trigger the body’s natural healing response.

Destressor Massage

A targeted session designed to melt away the physical manifestations of stress—specifically focusing on the neck, shoulders, and upper back.

FAQs

Insurance, Pricing & Coverage

Do you accept insurance for massage?

In some cases, massage therapy is covered when billed as “Manual Therapy” as part of a prescribed Physical Therapy plan. We recommend calling our front desk to verify your specific plan’s coverage.

For injury recovery, once a week is common. For maintenance and performance, 1–2 times per month is highly effective. Your therapist will provide a recommendation based on your body’s response.

No! Our massage services are open to the general public. However, many people find that the combination of PT and massage yields the fastest results.
