Therapeutic massage is a personalized approach to wellness, tailored to your lifestyle and unique needs. Whether you're seeking relief from everyday stress, muscle tension, or chronic pain from conditions like arthritis or fibromyalgia, our Registered Massage Therapists can help. Therapeutic massage can be a great option if you are seeking to recover faster from an injury or reduce pain.
What is therapeutic massage therapy?
During your therapeutic massage treatment, you will have the best Massage Therapist who will use a combination of techniques to address your specific needs. This may include Swedish massage for relaxation, deep tissue massage to target tension areas, or trigger point therapy to relieve specific pain points. Your comfort is our priority, so open communication is key. Don't hesitate to let your Massage Therapist know if the pressure needs to be adjusted.
What happens during a therapeutic massage treatment?
Reduced Pain & Swelling
Loosening tight muscles and promoting blood flow helps to reduce pain and inflammation caused by injuries or muscle tension.
Improved Mobility
By addressing muscle tightness and restrictions, deep tissue massage can help increase your range of motion and make daily activities easier.
Better Circulation
By manipulating soft tissues, therapeutic massage can increase blood flow throughout your body, delivering oxygen and nutrients to your muscles to aid in healing.
Enhanced Soft Tissue Function
Therapeutic massage can improve the overall health and function of your soft tissues, including muscles, tendons, ligaments, and fascia. This can lead to increased flexibility, reduced pain, and improved overall well-being.
Repetitive Strain Injury & Sports Recovery
This type of massage is beneficial to athletes, those in a physically or mentally intensive job, and anyone recovering from strenuous activity. It promotes muscle repair by flushing out lactic acid, the byproduct of exercise that can cause soreness.
Assisted Sleep & Stress Relief
Therapeutic massage isn't just about physical benefits. The focused pressure and techniques can help relax your muscles and nervous system, leading to better sleep and overall stress and anxiety relief.
Decreased Reliance on Medication
Therapeutic massage can reduce your need for over-the-counter medications. When your sleep and physical health improve, it can result in less frequent use of medications that you might be taking for physical and mental help.

What Our Clients Are Saying
"The people are great! Friendly staff and flexible appointments. They have direct billing with insurance too which is really nice. I've been going in for deep tissue massage for the last 3 weeks and my muscles are finally loosening up. Grace is amazing at deep tissue massage. I highly recommend her if that's what you're looking for... and it takes me a lot to say that. I don't give praise unless it's deserved."
Tannis Mason
"I dealt with shoulder pain for a year and half. I saw multiple massage therapists throughout that time and no one could seem to relieve the pain and stiffness. One session with Craig and he fixed it. He even knew the cause just based on my description of the issue before we even started the massage. I highly recommend him!"
Candida Tookey
"Amazing results! I've been meeting with Craig for a few months now, and we've managed to completely obliterate my chronic shoulder pain. Craig uses a number of different modalities to address issues you may be experiencing. He's enthusiastic about his work, and it comes through in our sessions. Craig's jovial and professional personality was key to putting any hesitations I may have had at ease, as he was the first male massage therapist I've worked with. Always comfortable, always professional."
Kim Davidson
"Lexy was great. She's clearly passionate about massage, health & fitness, and she was very knowledgeable on ways to correct tightness in my body. She even provided stretching suggestions/examples specific to my problem areas after my massage time had run out."
