Athletes

Massage therapy can increase your sports performance by releasing tight muscles through sports massage techniques including proprioceptive neuromuscular facilitation, muscle energy techniques, active isolated stretching, or static stretching, and Repetitive Use Injury Treatment, along with deep tissue work to address chronically tight areas which are hindering your range of motion.

Clients who receive structural work

When used in conjunction with chiropractic and physical therapy, massage therapy helps by releasing the tight muscles to allow the structure to retain the work done by these professionals. The skeletal system is your structural support system, but it’s the muscles that provide the ability for the body to move. When you have a structural mal-alignment, in most cases the muscles have responded by tightening into the new position. Unless you release the tightened muscles you are limiting the success of structural work that you have performed.

Payment Policy

I only accept checks and cash. Payment is expected at the time of treatment, unless prior arrangements have been made. Gift Certificates available.

Cancellation Policy

Please allow 24 hours notice for cancellations, if possible. I understand that sometimes we all have schedule changes and I will reschedule appointments at the last minute at no charge. I don’t like to charge people unless work has been performed, so I don’t make a habit of it. However, if you continually cancel appointments, especially without rescheduling, I will stop allowing you to make appointments.
